    The Great Beer Thread

    I did one of my few foreign beers experiment today. I was in IKEA and they had something called Spendrups Julbrygd, quite cheap, so I bought some. As far as I can decode swedish, it shall be something like a special christmas beer, maybe some of our nordic fellows can explain that exactly...

    Make mine music!

    I´ve been watching these old cartoons last two days... They´re so funny and beatiful! Many of them were banned for racism (like coal black and the sebben dwarves), but I aboslutely don´t know why - I laughed like mad... (maybe because we czechs are absolutely politically incorrect nation...

    I hesitate to point out

    I was thinking about the "ambassador" - do they alter the ribbon to contrast with the other colors of the felt? Anyway, thanks for tip, Akubra has just gained a new competitor!

    How about the WORST ads?

    What a scientific attitude! How do you know all these things about these small and nearly forgotten nations? I think it´s almost impossible to identify which song exactly it is. The lyrics are definitely not original and the music is universal (with lyrics changing for occasion)... Moravian...

    How about the WORST ads?

    Now prepare for some really wicked ones, from the czechoslovakian state (and only) TV, 1980´s. There was actually no need for ads, since there was only one product of each kind, so there were ads for example for honey, eggs, milk, salad... All of them very short and framed by animated character...

    Spats!

    Spats! I will need some as well. Winter is approaching and winter shoes are so expensive... These are very nice, Slim. Will definitely go great with your style.

    U.S. Army considers new uniforms

    This one is very interesting. I´d like to know when was the last time anyone used the cloak. It looks good, but it´s a bit (about 100 years) outdated. The rest of the pictures - those are actual uniforms, aren´t they? They´re perfectly fine, but the ones (from the links above) are... Well...

    Young loungers

    I haven´t noticed that part about others telling us that we are like old... My friends tell me that I´m the youngest czech retired lol And yesterday in the pub, when I first smoked my pipe, so many dumb comments... It really made me think if I´m not really too much into vintage style.

    Young loungers

    Bernard - Welcome, neighbour! About me - 19 years old, I love vintage stuff, I love swing and I´m thinking about some lindy hop training... It´s good to see so many young people around here!

    What are you wearing today??

    Today´s experiment: It´s just a ordinary shirt and pants with a sweater and scarf. And the coat, of course. I think it´s appropriate for a field investigation for school.

    If I had to pick one girl from the golden era

    I was deciding between Lauren Bacall, Rita Hayworth and Veronica Lake. And the winner is... Veronica Lake (for now) There is only thing she would need - a bit more height.

    Show us your suits

    I usually put a little mirror behind the camera, to see what it sees, if you understand me.

    What are you wearing today??

    There were questions about the cufflinks - I´d love to know something about them too. I bought them in one thrift store and I was told that they are probably from the 50´s and that the thing with wings (or whatever it is) is a logo of some company - I still don´t know which company´s logo it can...

    What are you wearing today??

    Slim, you´re killing me lol Great idea! No halloween here, but my dear grandfather will be 80 tommorow and invited the whole family for lunch to a rather expensive restaurant today. I hope I´m not overdressed (of course I am, but not as much as a lounger can be). Plus, it´s one of the few...

    Ike jackets - which?

    I´ve always liked the so called ike jackets, but the replicas are too expensive and originals even more. There are some decent ones to be found on eBay (occasionally), but I don´t trust the measurments. So I gave it a try and looked for something like the ike jacket on the czech internet...

    Color Combo Conundrum?

    I´m afraid I have to disagree on this. Go outside, look around and see where this "not too much time" attitude leads. Sorry for offtopic.

    New hat: color?

    I agree with everyone here - grey is the color. At least for your wardrobe. And one question from me - I´ve noticed that most loungers don´t wear (or maybe even have) black fedoras. Why is that? I think that black fedoras have a deep tradition, especially in europe. And they are quite...

    Feeling the Love? Opinions, Please.

    It looks very good indeed! I´ve found out that there is nearly nothing vintage available here, so I stick to the more luxury modern pieces - and I´d like to have this one myself. edit: Classic question - what pants do you think will go with it?

    What are you wearing today??

    Dinerman, How informal have we (me too) gone, since we are on colege :) Where are the ties and everything? I don´t have courage to try it now, people wouldn´t understand it, we don´t know each other yet... However, you´re still doing great!
