    Hat advice for Orthodox Jews

    Hi All, I'm a religious Jew. Not "Orthodox" as such, but religious/observant. This is a very interesting thread. I can give you some information regarding why the Orthodox wear black hats ( and why they don't fit ;) ) later today or Sunday. My wife and I must run to the store before Passover...

    songs that make you shiver/cry

    Ok, I know it's not a classic, but I almost always tear up when I hear this song: Seasons in the Sun by Terry Jacks: Goodbye to you, my trusted friend. We've known each other since we're nine or ten. Together we climbed hills or trees. Learned of love and ABC's, skinned our hearts and...

    How did you start wearing hats?

    How did I first get into hats? I guess the army really turned me on to wearing a hat. Wow. That is tough. Grew up in Houston, Texas, when cowboy hats were kind of cool. They were cool in Houston before Urban Cowboy came out. Anyway, I always wanted a cowboy hat, but my mom never bought me...

    Bespoke military uniforms?

    New Dress Uniform The army is actually changing from the old green class A uniform to a dress blue uniform that looks much nicer. When I got my class A's, they were sort of tailored and looked good on me. Here is an article on it http://usmilitary.about.com/od/army/a/serviceuniform.htm...

    Where did your user name come from??

    I'm a little late to the party on this one. Sly= bald GI= soldier So SlyGI it is. I'm actually no longer bald, well a little on top. But one summer I thought I would shave my head just to see what it would look like. Then the winter came, and I was very happy to have a reason to grow my...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    10,000 BC Well nothing unusually cool. Last week, my wife and I took the day off and put our son in daycare. We went out and saw 10,000 BC. Well, there costumes were not very styling, but the Woolly Mammoths were incredible. :)

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    New to the Lounge Hi All, I’ve recently found this forum from the great guys over at badgerandblade.com. I posted on badgerandblade that I was looking for advice on purchasing some fedoras and some straw hats (I’m getting over my second bout of skin cancer, on my head no less. At least it’s...

    Self-Conscious?

    New Member, ex-lurker Hello Gents, I’ve been lurking awhile now and I just thought I would finally chime in. I too, am new to wearing hats (except for when I was in the military–I’m NG now). I’ve always loved the suites and hats of men in old black and white movies. I’ve always wanted...
