FL member sighting?

[StanleyVanBuren]

I was downtown LA for court this morning around 10am and walked right past a guy who looked straight outta the Fedora Lounge. He was wearing a hat, had a vintage tie, pocket square, and spectators. Very short hair, possibly shaved. White guy. I was crossing Hill going towards the courthouse and he was walking away. Looked like he was with a client (and I was in a rush myself) so I didn't bother to say "Hey, nice hat" or anything.

Anyone on here?

If not, then someone definitely needs to tell this guy about this place if anyone else sees him. He'd fit right in.

See, thats where the slight of hand into his pocket (not for shoplifting purposes) comes in handy. When he gets home, about to enjoy a brandy, he will hang up his hat, reach into his pocket and find the card. All it will say is the fedora lounge on one side, and the icon of our signature fedora guy on the other.

Classy.

Very Classy LD. Like a scene out of a movie.....

I SWEAR I saw one, too, in Pittsburgh on the way to Chicago on Sunday...SO strange. (?)

I saw a guy who looked almost exactly like Rooster in the airport in Phoenix, AZ about a week ago. He had on a dark suit, vintage tie and an open road.

The other day I was driving on Hollywood Blvd right @ the corner of Vine- and I swear I thought I saw a FL- white shirt, fedora, black pants and w & b spectators... hmm....

Seems we need some kind of password for those of us who, unlike those who are in a rush, but just those who have no nerve to go up to another person and say "Hey, are you from the FedoraLounge?" A one or two simple word that is not used in the every day to day of life so that if it heard, we know and can acknowledge.
Hmm? [huh]

we need a secret handshake

Sure sounds like me doesn't it? Never been to phoenix though. Sounds like that guy really had it goin' on.....

There ya go, It has to be simple though, I'm too caucasion to do one of those brotha handshakes, somebody's liable to get hurt.lol

Oh! I have the nagging sensation to respond to that..... but; I'll leave it alone

 

[dhermann1]

I suspect he just meant he's afraid he'd klutz it up.
Amyhow, I see people (mainly guys) from time to time with cool lids and vintage ties, etc. I try to say hi and tell them about FL. There has been some interest generated. There are a lot of people out there who appreciate this stuff!

 

[BegintheBeguine]

No code words. They don't work. If you're going to say anything make it "Are you in the Fedora Lounge online?" or something similar.

Question?

Did he look like Rooster, or his avatar?lol

Oh golly, please don't take offense. I meant no disrespect., Who might I have insulted, Blacks or whites?[huh] I'm at a loss on this one. Today's PC world and oversensitivity makes saying anything a crap shoot. Somebody is bound to take offence I guess.

 

[pigeon toe]

Haven't seen him myself, but I park on Hill & 9th in downtown. I'm interning at reVamp and saw a very FL looking dude yesterday. I really hope he isn't on here though because I made a fool of myself! I was eating lunch and not quite listening to what he was saying cos I didn't think he was talking to me. Yikessss.

If a man with a fedora meets a man with a fedora, they must switch fedoras. End of story.

Why don't we have some kind of card to hand out? It would be fun to "recruit" on the street, at airshows, classic car meets and the like.

**pssstt** Dude, did you not read what I said in my first post??
