How did you find the lounge?

Searching for patterns for a smoking jacket

I came here from Club Obi-Wan. The Indiana Jones hobby showed me indirectly just how fine the Golden Era was. I haven't gotten into the hobby full swing yet, but my first fedora should be here soon. :fedora:

I was lost. And now I'm found.

I was doing some research about vintage barbershops on Yahoo. Got pointed here. I'm staying.

LOOKING FOR MY NEXT HAT

I was searching out information on hat history...found the lounge...

was a guest forever...until MK or Matt ....made a point on a post about all

the lerkers not joining...i just always followed the Grocho Marx idea...i would

never be a member of a club that would have me as a member.

Well only a fool would not want to take part in such an informative, creative,

diverse and giving community.

thanks again...

:cheers1:

Someone posted a link to the Lounge in a Yahoo group that I used to belong to, I think it was the New Victorians, but I don't remember who posted it. I was a regular visitor for about a month, liked what I saw, and joined.

 

[resortes805]

Found the link from the Atomic site.

If I remember right, I was searching for something to do with vintage hats on Teoma. Fedora equals Fedora Lounge.
Super resource for everything vintage. Thanks MK. :cheers1:

I found The Fedora Lounge the same day JP did while reading over his shoulder.

I was searching for Fedoras because I have loved them since 6th grade...the look of them, anyway. I don't know much about different styles and whatnot, but I have a book of knit hat patterns, and a fedora is one of them,... I was just googling Fedoras so that I might learn more of where to find them to buy and such. And I came here....so glad I found it!

I quite possibly may be the newest member here - yesterday, to be exact.
I googled "1940's hairstyles discussion", I think, in hopes to find a living breathing group of folks who knew their stuff. Immediately I was whisked away to the powder room!
After doing searches for the last couple of weeks on the subject of fashion in the 30's and 40's, I've come to realize that I would like to learn more, and begin purchasing the gorgeous clothing I've always admired. (So far, only my cookbooks and one mink cape are of the era)

 

[humblestumble]

I'm just as new

 

[Dr. Shocker]

You know its funny I was rereading this thread to see what some of the new folks had to say and realised I never responded......

sitting bored at work one day I decided to try and find some of the sites I used to frequent, I hit Atomic and yes you guessed the rest. I sandbagged for a while before jumping into the swing of things and have loved the FL ever since......its nice to have a wide variety of folks with the same interest and varying levels of expertise in one place.......a round of drinks for all of you (not all at once)

I used to be on the old forum at Atomic Magazine. I left for awhile and came back. When I did I found that the Fedora Lounge had become the new forum. I haunted around the forum for awhile and then decided to join.

What is this Fedora Lounge place everyone keeps talking about??

Actually I had been surfing the net for information on Hollywood glamour style photography and landed at Jim Ferreira's site (Film Noir Portraiture) www.lafterhall.com/filmnoir.html where after drooling for a while I checked out his links page and in a hop skip and a jump (my keyboard has never been the same since those wingtips landed on it!) I found myself over here lurking for a while. Speaking of... where is Jim???

Great site folks! I talk about it everywhere I go and even have the thing set as my home page here at the radio station. It tends to get some odd looks by the other jocks- seeing as though we are a country station!

Cheers! :cheers1:

Lounge Addict!

1. Found Lounge also via Atomic Magazine.

2. Great forum sites are the ones you can LEARN
something from which is the case here @ FL.

3. This site stays on message all fashion things etc.
1930's/1940's!

4. The overall civil tone here is another reason the
FL is addictive.

[John in Covina]

Found it through an Internet search engine while researching better quality fedoras.Brad

*****
Ditto!

 

[Rigby Reardon]

Hey, it took a while for me to remember, but I just remembered the REAL reason I got here...after the IndyGear QM III Summit (back in 2004), MattDeckard made a point of telling me to come check out the FL. So I'm HIS fault.

 

[Michaelson]

Oh REALLY? Remind us to have a serious talk with Matt....

That's ok. Your feet may still grow at your age but your head is not likely to. At least I hope not.

Found it while looking for info on A2 jackets and other Army Air Force equipment and uniforms. Found more than I bargained for and I'm glad I did. Lots of valuable information to be learned here and it's of course also nice to know there are still a lot of people with real class that appreciate style, history, and art. It's a great escape from the apalling lack of culture that is pervading the world today.Hats off, ( pun not really intended) to the administrators of the site for putting it all together. :cheers1:
