    Calling Cards (name cards, not phone cards)

    I'm unemployed right now, so listing a position when I might need to be flexible was the reason I went with a calling card. Same width as a normal business card, just a touch higher.

    Calling Cards (name cards, not phone cards)

    Thought I'd post a link to the Crane and Co. calling card section. Even though I just received mine, I'm liking the espresso colour of this one: http://www.crane.com/navSubDepartment.aspx?Name=PersonalizedCallingCards&SubDeptName=PersonalizedStationery&DeptName=Stationery

    The Lost Art of Manliness

    Yeah, sorry about that. When one posts a thread it's like going down a rabbit hole, you never know where it'll end up.

    Who are your Role Models?

    Women probably notice the overt sexism and objectification more, but speaking for myself there's something about aspiring to be a rugged man of action that is also sophisticated and worldly that I've always wanted for myself. True story: When I was a wee lad of only six I brought the soundtrack...

    Who are your Role Models?

    Two men from the Victorian period, which I just can't get enough of. One fictional, one real: Sherlock Holmes. His mind is his superpower. I gotta say, even though I'm a huge Jeremy Brett fan, I think the new one coming out on Christmas this year with Robert Downey Jr. will be the one truest to...

    FS: Leather gunbelt and holster for SA Colt

    It just breaks my heart, but I'm selling my brand new western belt and holster combo for the SA .45LC 5.5 inch Colt. Made by Andrews Leather, the holster is lined with double thick, smooth leather, and the belt has nickel-plated hardware.This rig is called the Miles City, and Andrews sized it...

    Just out of curiosity, who's the midget?

    The Lost Art of Manliness

    Thanks for the thoughtful and inspiring post. Just curious, do you own the book, or have you checked it out? The reason I ask is that I too did not have a father/male role model in the house when I was growing up. Even though I'm full grown man now, I still enjoy books such as the one under...

    How to be a Hepburn in a Hilton World

    Thought I would post this as a counter-balance to my post about the Lost Art of Manliness. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1599951835/ref=s9_simz_gw_s0_p14_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0M36962QRB0CXD62WB2N&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846 I haven't read...

    The Lost Art of Manliness

    For those who haven't yet purchased the book, in the back there is a list for the different meanings of flowers which is worth the price of the book alone. Somehow my (now ex) girlfriend knew immediately something was up when I started buying the appropriate flowers for the occasion, usually...

    The Lost Art of Manliness

    Okay Loungers, let's all take a deep breath and go to our happy place. Repeat after me: "I'm a stallion (or a mare) in a meadow...." I'm surprised at the reaction my post has received. Never underestimate the power of the written word! It is, after all, just a book. Well okay, a book and a...

    The Lost Art of Manliness

    Boy, it didn't take long for the trolls to hijack this thread. Did you even bother to take a look at the book? If you're not going to add anything constructive to the conversation, maybe you should keep your unnecessary comments to yourself? They're not in the spirit of the Fedora Lounge.

    Calling Cards (name cards, not phone cards)

    Yes, I rather got the phone book when I ran a search. Thought one devoted to the calling card would be appropriate.

    Calling Cards (name cards, not phone cards)

    Calling Cards Anyone? So, it came time to order new business cards, and I really liked the look of the slightly larger calling card, so I went with it and just received mine today. Being a big fan of the Victorian era I'm just tickled with the result: Does anyone else use calling cards? I'd...

    The Lost Art of Manliness

    Thought I would pass along this book I came across. Excellent guide to the lost art, and belongs on the shelf of "our people." http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1600614620/ref=ord_cart_shr?_encoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance

    Victorian Thrillers

    By the way, so far I've found a few I really liked/remembered: The Illusionist The Prestige Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan (Found out through our family genealogy recently that I'm related to the Greystoke family which is pretty cool...) From Hell with Johnny Depp Mountains of the Moon...

    Thanks Berlin, I'll check those out as well. Love your pic!

    Victorian Thrillers

    I hadn't heard about The Forsyth Saga, I'll check it out. I'm not a big fan of Tim Burton, I find his work to be a little too "precious." Thanks though for the recommendations, I'll check them out for the costumes if nothing else.
