How did you find the lounge?

[StetsonHomburg]

I found it on an ebay link for my St. Regis Homburg

Well, I believe I was searching for plans for a doomsday device, but got sidetracked on the idea of finding what suits went with what hats... yes that was it. Still haven't given up on the doomsday device though.

Keep trying you'll get the device eventually lol

I found this place through Club Obi-Wan long ago. Couldn't register at either place due to not having an ISP email, so I lurked on an irregular basis. Then I decided I had something to add/ask recently, and joined up.

I honestly can't remember. I wish I could.

I can't believe I've never posted in this thread!

I used to lurk here back in 2003 and was an avid reader until I became and active member in 2005. I originally found the Fedora Lounge link through Atomic as I was a subscriber.

I was linked here via a couple of fountain pen/ink related blogs. Glad to be here!

Looking on Google for things pertaining to the 20's.

I don't know. Maybe somebody mentioned you in the german golden era related forum www.return2style.de


I really had to read hours and hours in old threads. Such a good source for information on original vintage and modern repros too.

I was looking for workboots, similar to the ones worn by Indiana Jones. One thing led to another and I found this site ( as well as COW) and an obsession was born.

 

[SCO2177]

I was looking through Google for pictures of a vintage shoulder holster and it led to this place.

 

[Katzenjammer]

I Googled Blade Runner-inspired menswear!

I stumbled across the FL while researching for a silent film I was making.

 

[Honey Bee]

I was searching all over the internet for late 40's early 50's clothing and decor and someone's site had a link here. Very glad to have found so much inspiration and information.

 

[Land-O-LakesGal]

I stumbled into the powder room looking for advice on my wet sets and pin curls. Love the fabulous advice I get on here.

I happened across the site while looking for a new leather jacket and read it for a few years before I decided to sign up.

 

[Pompidou]

I google searched for information on fedoras and it came up pretty early. I was going to buy my dad a hat, then he got one, and I ended up getting one for myself.

Dang, I thought I'd already posted here... apparently not! :eusa_doh:

Not that my story is any different then most others. I was doing a search for "hat stretcher" using Google. The hat I wanted to stretch was a leather one, but once I found out about vintage fur-felt hats (as opposed to the wool fedora's I'd owned over the years) I never looked back!

Thanks to everyone for the incredible amount of information and fun that's to be had on this site. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Cheers,
Tom

I found it when 'Googling' for Fedora hat's. I was trying to find a local store/info on Fedoras, and wowowowow I did! I love it here, and am a junky!

 

[MariantheLibrarian]

I found it while doing a Google search for crinolines for my wedding. I lurked in and out for a couple of years, and finally decided to join.

FL member Pcad told me about this place. I was on a bicycle forum where they had a General Discussion thread and showed off a new drivers cap I had bought. I expressed my new interest in hats and he gave the link to this forum.
