    Show us your custom shirts.

    When I go custom, I get what I want. It's my first time delving into the realm of custom shirting. I know... who needs a custom shirt? Well used to be a time when clothes fit better. I might not like the time as much as the fit, but I really like the fit. So with less and less vintage on the...

    Let them do their thing!

    If you are at a place that is renouned for giving the customer what he wants then get what you want. Though when you are at a place where there is a master at work... well you are there to get what the master is acclaimed for making. You're at the Spago... Let Wolfgang make what Wolfgang makes...

    Where am I going to wear a black suit?

    One great black suit. Everywhere! When I got the suit I was thinking "what am I going to do with this? Where am I going to wear this?" I had no black suits... no need and just didn't like the idea. I'm not a black clothing wearer. It sucks my life away. i prefer colors stripes and textures...

    Keyboarding

    People take the easier way out more often nowadays. Today in 2007 it is ruder to call and tell something to a person than it is to leave an email -- than it is to post a blog. It's not hard to type. The keyboard lets you spill the emotions onto a blank canvas without eyes. Eyes are the...

    GOOD JOB AKUBRA!

    They get a lot of play from the Lounge. I think the main reason for that is that they still make open and high crowned hats like those that were sold in the 20's 30's and 40's. Those are the hats that I try to emulate when i buy a new hat. Makes me wonder why Stetson and many other companies...

    Where do you learn to be a tailor?

    you can learn to sew clothes together in the US... though where do you go to learn how to make a suit, you know, the jacket and all its inner workings, those measurements and details of shape and how to create the chest. Menswear in the US doesn't heave a school for tailoring as far as I have...

    Late 50's early 60's

    I like to think of it as the Senator Jack look. Slimmer lapels skinny ties and, well pretty clean lines. Ater the belly huggers and the wasp waists and the aircraft carrier shoulders. slimmer shoulders in the UK... more of the Hawaii 5-O look in the US and and the Italians still had the...

    They've gone too far.

    i like the good old straight razors. I like the safety razors that grandpa had. I never had a shave as close until today. I recieved a Gillette Fusion 5 blade razor in the mail and decided to take it for a spin. It gave me the smoothest shave I've ever had... Close as I've had with a straight...

    Demise of the butcher

    I was at Wal-Mart and.. well I'm happy with the fact that they're selling Mexican Coca-Cola with real sugar here in Rosemead CA. I'm am however dissapointed in how Wal-Mart pumps its meat full of water to ad weight and in tern remove flavor. Used to be you would go to the market and see...

    Show us the naturaly stylish.

    Alright... this thread is to showcase those people you run into on the streets whom know how to put it together. They don't have to be Lounge members, they just have to know how to wear clothes and have that "It", "Gravitas" -- you know, the goods! Not friends. Not relatives. Just people you...

    Fitting matters

    In the 1930's men walked into stores where salesmen were putting clothes on patrons whom may not have known anything about fit or what the designer had in mind. Sleeve lengths shoulder proportions waist heights chest measurements, shirt collars. Salesmen knew how to measure and they knew how the...

Now people seam to dress down to go out after six. When i was in London I was stopped at the door of a local pub and asked to...

    Some things I think are really cool

    Richie Fahey is one of my favorite noir style artists. The models look superb, though it's the direction that is key to making them look superb. I want to meet the guy someday and say good job with a hand shake and a check for an original piece, though that will not happen anytime soon. I...
