    Old photograph found in Top Hat

    For action photography, you have to shoot no slower than 1/250 sec. I don't think they had that fast a shutter speed in 1900. Perhaps the 20s or 30s?

    The hat he picked out looks good on him.

    U.S. Army considers new uniforms

    Casual is a kind of limbo. It's for people who became ill or injured in basic training and are going to separate, complete basic or go to tech school upon recovery. In the Air Force, it's in the same vicinity as the basic training area.

    Manners - The NY Times gets it

    I've found, in general, that my dance partners who are in their 20s (and even teens) are more courteous, gentle and attuned to subtle social signals than baby boomers. Are they more responsible? I don't know. But the 20-somethings I work with are responsible and willing and eager to help, like...

    U.S. Army considers new uniforms

    At the end of basic training, I had a bad reaction from a shot and had to stay in casual for a day. Those of us with no insignia were glad we had the ribbon so as not to be mistaken for basic trainees. That's the only purpose I can think of. The Air Force also has a good conduct medal. If...

    Golden Era Cures for Depression

    I've talked to Kim on the phone a few times and she sounds a lot perkier. She found a job and sounds like she is back to her old self. Maybe she really was just in a bad rut.

    Help me Pick a Winter Hat!

    I think we have a winner. The camel lamp it is! (And I don't think I'll be wearing the same hat as everyone else in Denver. ;) ) Thanks, everyone, for all your help.

    Help me Pick a Winter Hat!

    There's actually a thread about hat & suit colors together: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=21963 Check out post #13: Mr. Rover is wearing a brown hat and gray suit. In fact, I think I like it--it keeps the whole look from being too matchy-matchy.

    Help me Pick a Winter Hat!

    I found the hats at hat-a-tude.com. I have a medium-blue silk scarf that might tie the gray coat and camel hat together. Something in red might work, too--I often get compliments when I wear red.

    Help me Pick a Winter Hat!

    I actually look pretty good in black. I don't look good in all shades of brown, though. Taupe, chocolate and cool brown are good; orange-brown isn't. I actually printed a picture of the brown hat and put it next to my gray coat. It's not an ideal color combination, but it doesn't look bad...

    Help me Pick a Winter Hat!

    Thanks for the idea, Stoney! I used to have a derby, but the style didn't really suit me; nothing with a roll brim or a round crown does. I used to have an inexpensive lamp hat, though, and the brim actually did a pretty good job keeping my ears warm.

    Help me Pick a Winter Hat!

    My wool winter coats are charcoal and navy. I also have a tan trenchcoat I might wear this with sometimes. All are pretty simple in design.

    Help me Pick a Winter Hat!

    I want a new winter hat and I'd like to hear some educated opinions and the voice of experience. All these hats have a satin lining. I cannot return the hat unless it is damaged. I need to have a style that protects my ears and shades my eyes in the winter. I also need a style that suits my...

    How to incorporate high-tech items into your vintage lifestyle?

    In days of old, there was a concept of being "not in." It didn't mean you literally weren't in the house, it just meant you weren't receiving visitors. It's time to revive that idea with regard to the phone.

    Remember 3rd rock from the sun ?

    The funniest thing I saw Dick wear was that speedo when he was in the hot tub with Mary's parents.
