How did you find the lounge?

[irb]

It was a dark and stormy night....

I remember that night, the rain pouring down on the slick streets, the air a little on the cold side of comfortable. It was as if the inky night had tried to cover up the grime of the city by inducing the skies to weep. I drew my elegant A2 bomber closer to me as I charged down the street against the wind, my Akubra Federation IV tight on my head, a glint of street light illuminating my tasteful hat pin. People on the street, fleeing the foul weather, still could not resist shouting out, "Hey-o Indiana!" but I ignored them with grace and poise. Ahead, a neon light proclaimed my destination: The Fedora Lounge. I had almost made it when a mysterious man in a very nice vintage linen suit and Monecristi Super Fino stepped out of the shadows in front of me. "Here now," he said, "what Golden Era celebrity do you think I most look like?" We stepped inside to continue our conversation.

Well, at least it makes a better story than "I was looking for a Panama hat and found this place in the course of my searching.".... *grin*

I saw a guy wearing a really cool looking Borsalino, so I went home and googled 'Borsalino' to see about ordering one....I found this place, and some of the coolest people on the internet!

Scott <=== now has a debilitating Bors-habit

I've worn...

...fedoras and more classic styles for years, but I didn't know a thing about hats. I just knew what I liked. I decided I needed a different color hat, and bought one at a local hat store. I googled to learn more and ran smack dab into the lounge!!

When I was looking into getting my dad's Borsalino refurbished and re-sized so I could wear it, some searches with google kept landing me here.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

This wonderful site came up on google about 6 months to a year ago when I was looking into pomades more throroughly.

 

[Inusuit]

Google did it...

when I was searching for a replacement for my finally-expired Stetson Open Road.

 

[JennyLou]

I believe the site came up on an internet search, but I don't remember what for- it was years ago.

 

[Elizabeth.F]

I found it while looking up a finished version of that oh-so-popular 3 hour sweater.

 

[KeyGrip]

My friend and I were getting into fedoras in a big way when he ran across the forum looking for instructions on crown shaping. I, having the non-free email address, signed up.

Threads on various firearms-related forums mentioned the vintage holsters being discussion circa 2006.

 

[TheDutchess]

I googled " Dita Von Teese " (which is like a "no no word" round here for some reason [huh] )

 

[Talbot]

I was searching for info about the car in the film "Topper".

Swell site, but I keep on wanting to buy things[huh] .

 

[Herr Hitman]

Found out about it when Atomic magazine ended.

I too found it this way.

 

[Mike1939]

I too found it this way.

Baby makes three!

 

[Cooperson]

Google searching quality leather jackets, found a photo of James Bond wearing an Aero Highwayman. Googled Aero jackets which brought me to this wonderful site and a few months down the road to my own Aero leather

 

[Wandering Fool]

Looking for reliable information on Fedoras.

 

[kyda]

I am not overly sure how I found the Fedora Lounge, I think I was looking for information on vintage stuff ( love the clothes, make-up) and was dragged here, and I have not left.

 

[MisterCairo]

Finding the lounge

I found the lounge searching on-line for three piece suits! Have already bookmarked one of the FL sponsors!

 

[WineGuy]

Googling for info on vintage Avirex A-2 jackets

As my jacket is on it's last legs I was Googling for info on vintage Avirex A-2 jackets when I came across the Fedora Lounge and a thread on "orphaned jackets", the rest is history.

 

[RetroPat]

Someone was trying to sell an Art Deco pen stand on The Fountain Pen Network and another member mentioned the seller should try posting here. I decided to take a look at FL and the rest is history. I tend to look around here more than I actually post, but I always learn something pretty cool about the Golden Era when I'm here.
