Hello everyone.
Greetings to everyone.
My name is John. I found the Fedora Lounge while helping a ladyfriend research vintage swimsuits. I've been told I have a keen eye for that sort of thing, but I think she was buttering me up so that she wouldn't have to do her own research.
I quit college to join the US Army seven years ago, and it looks like I'll be making a career of it. I'm current serving my third tour in Iraq. I've lost one marriage to the pace of deployments.
I've always been told by my friends that I have an "old soul" and it's always shown in my dress and behavior. I love my dad, but it was my grandfather who taught me how to dress and the act the part of what he called a "man's man". I think I took the lessons a little deeper to heart than he intended.
I've always loved vintage cars and motorbikes. Film Noir, mystery novels, and all the other assorted accoutrements of the lifestyle were just a matter of course.
My interest is spreading now to not just the clothes or the cars or the "stuff". It's becoming more about the lifestyle. Andventure, intrigue, resiliance, and determination somehow combined with simplicity and class just makes my day. Hopefully one day I'll use those words to describe myself, not my lifestyle.
So hello again and best wishes to all.
