A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?
Heck, given its simple, high-contrast, two-color design, I think just the Fedora Lounge "man-in-hat" logo up top would make a fine-looking pin.- AdmiralTofu

A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?
I think it's a capital idea! Art's suggestion about having three designs definitely makes sense, lest we wind up beating each other to a pulp under a streetlight on a rainy street at night. :D One person might like a rural Open Road-ish design, where I'd be for the ultra-urban, wide-ribbon...- AdmiralTofu

Long hair on men?
And herein lies the quandary... Thanks for the opinions and viewpoints, everybody, and keep them coming. :) Having so many vastly different opinions isn't much helping me decide what I want to do with my own hair lol but it certainly is giving me a lot to chew on -- as well as making me...- AdmiralTofu

Long hair on men?
Creepy images of some guy who wears a raincoat in the middle of summer and drives a rusted-out ice cream van... *shudder* But yeah, long hair definitely takes a *lot* of work to maintain and keep looking good. I really don't know how I've put up with it for fifteen years, what with the...- AdmiralTofu

Long hair on men?
When you wear hats with your long hair (I'm jealous of the length! Yowza!), do you keep it tied back, or just let it flow loose? Personally, while I love the look of a fedora (or similar) on a woman with loose, flowing hair, for some reason I don't like how that same setup looks on *me* -- I...- AdmiralTofu

Long hair on men?
lol I love it. Perfect example of attitude making the style, despite breaking "rules." Mine's a fair bit longer than Mr. Grainger's, though... :D- AdmiralTofu

Long hair on men?
Point taken about vintage, Frederick Chook. :) In the Golden-Age theme of these forums, I guess I'd forgotten that one man's vintage is another man's "Oh my GOD, they used to WEAR that?!" :) I know what you mean about that nagging voice in your head, Estevan. Full disclosure time: *I* have...- AdmiralTofu

Long hair on men?
I was wondering what folks think of it, given the higher standard we tend to hold ourselves to here... Now, *obviously*, it isn't vintage, and I would dare say that a guy with long hair shouldn't call himself such. However, vintage aside, I think even with dress wear and hats, long hair is...- AdmiralTofu

Considering This Hat
Glad to hear somebody knows what I'm talking about. :D I tried asking somebody at work who's as much of a hat guy as I am (difference being that he's into all kinds of lids -- baseball caps, military hats, anything -- not just fedoras) about that, and he just sort of nodded, said, "Yeah..." and...- AdmiralTofu

The Black Hat Brigade
Interesting article I found, just the other day in fact, about that: http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2006/01/06/hats/ Interesting perspective, I thought, if nothing else. :)- AdmiralTofu

Considering This Hat
lol You sound just like me, TaxMan. "Fifty cents more and they'll send it by time-travel and it'll get here yesterday? Forgeddaboutit." :) :offtopic: LeeB - how did the waterproofer affect the texture/feel of the felt, if at all? I've been considering waterproofing my two wools. Thing...- AdmiralTofu

Considering This Hat
LeeB -- what's the wool felt one you have? I have their two crushable wools -- the C-crown in grey, and the pinch-front in black. Great for everyday wear... at least until my Bogart comes along. :)- AdmiralTofu

Rockland, ME -- 1941
Yeah, the Strand looks really great. I haven't been there since the restoration (in fact, I believe the last time I was actually there was as a wee tot, to see Spaceballs back in 1987), but it's looking really, really nice. Sad about the Goodnow's location, but overall, I'm happy with what...- AdmiralTofu

Rockland, ME -- 1941
So glad to hear Goodnow's is still around. I mean, that really is the important part -- it's people that make a business, more than some ol' building. At the same time... like you said, it's just not the same. I still have a standing account with Camden National... *grumble* Granted, it's...- AdmiralTofu

Considering This Hat
Personally, I have nothing but praise for Jaxon Hats and would recommend them without a second thought. I currently own two Jaxon fedoras -- both wool, but even for wool hats, they're very good quality. I recently received a Jaxon Bogart that I had to send back because it was too big (I'm just...- AdmiralTofu

Rockland, ME -- 1941
:eek: I'm from Thomaston! I'm currently living in South Carolina for financial reasons :cry: but I was born and raised in midcoast Maine and hope to return one day. Even though these pictures are from an era long before mine (or even my parents'), it still feels like I'm walking down...- AdmiralTofu

Do Bailey's run large or small?
Hi, everybody. I've been lurking here for a month or two now. First time posting. :) You know, it's interesting this thread should pop up now, because it was only a mere hour before the thread was started (Thursday) that I received my very own Bailey Executive in the mail, only to find it...- AdmiralTofu
