Looking at the pictures, we members post, I think it is obvious, that is not the case. I see fedoras with a lot of modern clothes - even hoodies à la the 80s. Unless I was attending a carnival, I would never dress up in a 1920-1950 costume. I would really feel like in a costume, and I know for sure, that I share that with quite a few members. If the forum really was so restricted, as you obviously think it is, I'm absolutely positive it would be a lot smaller. Fortunately it's not
HudsonHawk: I find it a little funny, that you state as a fact, that I'm "arguing a position that is simply not born out by the facts" - and then try to prove it by dreaming up a completely fictitious and ridiculous example. If you really had a point, based on facts, you had probably brought that forward instead. Let's at least agree, we're lightyears from being in agreement on the phenomenon: "Outrageousness"!
Guilty as charged
You're arguing that it's surprising that someone on the FL would suggest that Grammy guy's hat and track suit combo is not a good look. I'm arguing that the bulk of fashion conversation on this sites suggests it should not surprise you at all.
My example is exactly that, an example. I've never suggested it was diagnostic of anything. But you still are missing the overall point.

Heh. Me too. Togi bear or really old-fashioned pictures of Scouts.... that said, in recent years, I think of it as the hat the drill sergeant wore in Full Metal Jacket, though on civvy street I'd be hard-pressed to take him seriously.
I agree that the less used forums are predominantly vintage based, but that doesn't imply in anyway that the majority of users have no interests beyond those, surely?
Why on Earth do you argue that ...?!??!!!
I have never been even close to mention, that "it's surprising that someone on the FL would suggest that Grammy guy's hat and track suit combo is not a good look". That is something, you obviously wish I had written ... but I never did. Surprised is the one thing, I'm not!
One thing you can say it about the hat. It got people talking about hats.
Hudson Hawk - for what it's worth, I don't think the hat works with the tracksuit top. Where we might disagree is that I think the hat works well with the original buffalo girl collection, and that the buffalo girl collection was an interesting and intelligent design.
