How did you find the lounge?

[just_me]

Was going to sell some vintage fedoras on ebay and did a google search to get more information about them and the Lounge popped up.

Found out about the lounge while listening to BBC radio four in the car.The show was thinking aloud presented by professor Laurie Taylor glad i was.

I did a search for vintage shoes and wound up here.

Originally found it from cross posts from AR15.com, then found it again when researching black and white tie dress.

I did a search on felt hats a few years ago. I didn't join then but recently remembered the lounge. I think the lounge has actually turned up many results in the past.

Every time I would google "fedora", this place would show up. So I joined.

From my friend, John in Covina. We share an interest in fountain pens and fedoras, and one day he scribbled the FL website address on the back of a business card. It took me a while to actually check out the site, but am glad that I did. Thanks, John!

Looking for a fedora for my boyfriend. I stumbled across the list of threads and saw The Powder Room and it was like I was no longer the lone vintage lover in a world of hi-tech gadgets and of-the-moment designers... that there is a whole bunch of us out there, and we're articulate, classy and darn intelligent! Oh, and we dress well, too!!

A few years ago I was attempting to find guidelines on "hat etiquette". An internet search brought me to a thread on FL. John

accidents do happen

I found this site by accident, I was reading the My 50's year blog and she mentioned this site. Everybody has been so friendly and has great advice so I am really glad that I found it.

I bought a Tilley last summer and wore it just about everyday while on a boat or in a kayak. Liked wearing a hat better than a baseball cap. When the weather turned cold, I bought a Dorfman Pacific Indiana Jones fedora...NOT to be Indy, but the price and style was right for me to see if I even liked wearing a proper hat.

While surfing to learn the care & feeding of a felt fedora, I found the FD (and some other places as well), and....in a short time, my modest "collection" is growing.

Less than one hour ago, UPS just delivered my Akubra Banjo Paterson in fawn. Now I know the difference between wool felt and fur felt....I picked the Banjo largely because of what I read and saw here.

Well for me it wasn't the fashion... that came later. I blame yuhz guys for that! Gosh, the things that happen when you run with a fast crowd. lol

I think it must have been either '30s pulp stories, or history stuff, or vintage home decor things. My house will be dressed convincingly vintage long before I ever am.

If I haven't already posted in this thread...

I was looking for information on something or other...hat, jacket, shoes...

Can't quite remember what it was.

But I saw the wealth of knowlege here and decided to pull up a chair.

Be careful what you wish for....

I searched for "sock suspenders".....and look what happened!

Still haven't ordered any, but I've found a new way to burn time in wholesale quantities....:eusa_doh:

It's sort of like a very well dressed group therapy session....in your mind....

I did a web search for vintage hair...and wound up here! Best web search EVER!!:eusa_clap

 

[LouieGee]

I was searching for 'pincurls' and the Lounge suddenly popped into my life - YAY!

Though I couldn't actually join for over a year because I only had a free email account, which the Lounge doesn't accept... :eusa_doh: But I'm here now! (At last!)

lol I like that.. i could imagine it too. Instead of sitting in folder chairs, we sit in vintage couches and chairs. Instead of coffee and donuts its pâté and wine from the Renaissance..
