    Hat comparison Help

    wow! Wow, I just checked out the hats direct and the stylemaster here. They look super and are half the price of the Margate. The dimensions look good as well. It looks like the moonstone may go with more of my suits. I like that lite gray with the black band. Steel gray looks...

    Stylemaster Wow, just checked out this thread http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=44017&highlight=Stylemaster Lots of awesome Stylemasters. I like the idea that it has a bound rim like the Margate. Who makes it? Does anyone have the dimensions on it? Also, what if I order...

    Hat comparison Help

    PS I am leaning toward the Margate. I just love the colors in the ribbon knot (I guess that is what you call it). Interesting that no one has been positive on the Saxon. Is it because of the wide ribbon?

    Hat comparison Help

    Nostaligia and Margate Oh, you bet. If I visit a place and take up the proprietor's time, I would totally feel guilty if I didn't make a purchase. I purchased a flat cap from them about two years ago, it's a "genuine Harris Tweed, Wigens. A wonderful cap. If I knew where my wife put the...

    Great help! Hmmm, I like the idea of a darker ribbon too. I wonder if I could get the people at Heimie's to put a black ribbon on the Margate for me? I think it would go with my gray suites very well, and the color of the ribbon currently on the hat is very similar in color to the pin...

    Hat comparison Help

    Hi All, I'm looking to buy my first felt hat. I have some panamas, one Stetson that I'm in love with it. I'm looking at the following three hats. Mainly because I saw the Margate at local haberdashery called Heimie's today. It was really sweet; the color I saw today was the Caribou. They...

    Akubra Whippet versus Borsalino Claudio

    stiffer? You mentioned that the Akuba is stiffer so it dosent fit as well as the Borso. If one has an odd shapped head, would you say a softer hat is better?

    The Spanish Civil War

    SCW Just thought I would bump this most interesting topic. :p Does anyone have more images of the uniforms of either side? Lets see those pictures.

    The Spanish Civil War

    Anarchist Great explanation! Anarchists factions working within the government for change sounds like a good and civil idea. Much better to work non-violently for change than to shoot or blow-up your fellow citizens. The anarchists, I assume, would work for a smaller and smaller...

    The Spanish Civil War

    Anarchist Ok, I have a question that is a little off topic, :offtopic: My idea of an anarchist is one who doesn't want any form of government at all. Why were some voted into the republican government at the beginning of the SCW? Thanks!

    Crashing the Gate

    status and stuff I think I see what you mean by people getting caught up in their own kind of status. Like, in high-school, I had a red 1968 Mustang that was awesome. It was a status symbol for me, plus super fun to drive! Now, my brother, he was all about wearing those Polo Oxford...

    I'm a little naive I may be a little naive, but stealing from anyone or organization is wrong.

    Freegan Wow, I love this place. In reading this thread, I came upon a work I didn't know: freegan. I quickly turned to Wikipedia to figure out what one was. Weird, I have seen this type of person before, in Austin (I like Austin, don't get me wrong). But, my parents would have called...

    "What the Great Depression Did to Culture"

    This explains the Star Trek classes in college (didn't take any). I guess the "Pop" in the sub-cultures would be the common thread running through each of the sub-cultures. Like, "everyone" want's a car, the type of car you want reflects the expression of you as an individual in relation to...

    Ahhh I still like the sun dress. ;) Good for other people to bend fashion! I'm definitely not the fashion plate of my group. Didn't mean to sound like I was protesting anything. I'm not a protesting type of guy. Not sure what the non-gender representation thing is, but if you like it, more...

    "What the Great Depression Did to Culture"

    I have a favor to ask as I read this thread. Could someone describe exactly what "post-modernism" means? I think it may have lots of meanings to different people. I'm guessing modernism itself is basically art from the 1940's on? Perhaps, lots of ideas that deal with the industrial...

    Whoaaaaaaaaaaa Jokes on me. Just read the thread from the beginning. You know, I'm just not into women that look like little boys. Some of the models with the long blond hair looked cute in the RL bum-chic attire, but they would look much more beautiful in sun-dresses. Not sure if this...
