Here's a hearty welcome from just one of our resident librarians.

And another! Good to see so many MLSs and others starting down that road here on FL

I love that button bow tie thing... forget what it's called but it was a jaunty alternative to the bow tie back in the late 19th/early 20th century from what I understand.

I have a couple of those, though one is missing a stone or something in the "button." I've never worked up the nerve (or the motivation) to wear them, though.

I don't think I ever introduced myself here, though I've been around for a while. My name is Brett. I'm an avid fan of old movies and music who's been wearing vintage since the late '70s.

In fact, I'm thinking it might be time to offer up some of the stuff I wore then (that no longer fits me, alas) in the Classifieds area. I'd rather have it go to denizens of this board than offer it up to all takers on Ebay.

We have a room (I think it was supposed to be our living room!) but we have a pool table in it and all the walls are covered in hooks and racks full of hats. Here are some of them:

Holy moly, Idledame! If there's ever a hat shortage in the world, we'll know who to blame. And by the way, who needs a living room when there are accessories to be displayed? lol

 

[AnnaMaria]

Thank you for the welcome! I promise to not stay a lurker and help out whenever I can

Hello everyone

My name is Jakob, I am 25 years old and I am an fedora-o-holic....

A few of you may know me from COW or The Indy Lounge. My interest for the golden age has emerged from Indiana Jones, but as time has gone by my interests has turned more and more in the direction of actual vintage clothing - especially fedoras and watches.

I am studying prehistoric and medieval archaeology at the University of Aarhus and work at a local hunting store.

My interests are many and diverse:
-I collect antique weapons (both firearms and bladed weapons)
-I shoot, mostly pistol and revolver (both conventional smokeless and black powder)
-I re-enact late 15. c. North-European middle- and military class
-I train and teach WMA (western martial arts), my speciality is the long-sword, german style
-I re-enact early 19. c. american trapper/mountainman culture
-I collect altique glass and pewter (pre 1800)
-I collect antique books (pre 1900)
....just to mention a few things

I am looking very much forward to read the posts of this forum and lern more about the golden age and it's style - and i look forward to get to know the people of this forum.


Regards.

Jakob

Velkommen Jakob.

Another dane. A few of us around now...

Like you, i am also shooting with both conventional smokeless (pistol & revolver) and blackpowder (revolver + rifle - percussion and cartridge).

Hi,
My name is Pete and I am a middle-aged dealer and collector of vintage clothing.
My particular interests are vintage denim,motorcycle jackets and flight jackets.
I was introduced to the site by a friend who posts,'Aviakid',as he thought the thread on Irvins might interest me.I have to say,it's great to find so many like-minded people in one place.I always feel that I have to dumb down a little on my vintage obsessive talk in 'normal' company but here I think I may have found a home.

 

[JEEP]

Velkommen Jakob.

Thanks

Do you know of any danish golden era/vintage forums, clubs and shops?

Hi again. I notice references to events such as something on the Queen Mary, but I can' find anywhere on FL that shows all the wheres and whens. I tried the calendar but am not authorized (?) Thanks. I've never enjoyed being in a powder room as much as I do here!

 

[Serafina]

I'm making my way around the lounge and wanted to say hello!

My name is Serafina Miller; I live, love and thrive in San Francisco. My friend Sara introduced me to the on-line lounge, though I've known about Classic Style magazine and The Fedora Lounge for about a year.

I'm entering into my second year as President of The Art Deco Society of California, so for those of you who live in the San Francisco Bay Area, I hope to see you at our events, lectures and walking tours, or just drop by our informational booth at the Deco Show and Sale or the Vintage Fashion Expo. I'd love to meet you!

 

[Serafina]

I notice references to events such as something on the Queen Mary...

The Queen Mary event is sponsored and organized by the Art Deco Society of LA (adsla.org) and happens annually over Labor Day weekend. I went the first year and it truly is an amazing event.

Hi folks! I've been lurking on this board for a few weeks, and thought it was time to step out of the shadows now. My name is Peter Van den Schoor, aged 41, from Belgium, Europe.

I found this board googling for a Fedora hat to buy, and very much liked what I saw. I've always been very fond of golden era movies and vintage clothing. When I was 18 I already regularly wore a vintage outfit with hat I got from my grandfather. As that was at the height of the "New Wave/Punk" era around here in Belgium I really stood out in the crowd. lol

I will now be off to the "embarrassing pictures" thread because somehow most pictures that have me on them somewhere turn out to be rather embarrassing... Must be a kind of talent I'm sure.

Regards,
Peter

Hei og velkommen Jakob!

There's a few Danes here so you should be right at home

 

[Rhofal]

Is it just me?

-I tend to haunt the local cemeteries.

I keep getting a visual of someone running around in a bedsheet going Booooo-Oooo at innocent bystanders. Please tell me that's just my imagination running wild (again) lol

I do not do that everytime i go. Usually friends and I will get dressed up and have picnics or I will go and read or take pictures.
