    New Allen Edmonds First Avenue Boots

    Bruce, Those are beautiful. Congrats on your new find. Would you mind showing a pic of the sole on those? They seem like they might be suitable (pardon the pun) as dress boots.

    What's the meaning behind your Avatar ?

    Mine's just a promo headshot from a recent stage production. We we doing Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest." I was Jack/Earnest. For the performance, I was wearing a nice double breasted suit for the production that would be more Fedora Lounge appropriate. Alas, there are no photos...

    Do you have a man room/study

    I live in a studio apartment. My man room is also my living room, dining room, bedroom, gymnasium, study, entertainment lounge, recording studio, etc. Granted, some of these activities require a bit of furniture moving about.

    the voices of famous actors? why no modern actors sound like them anymore?

    One of my acting instructors told me that the major Hollywood studios used to help develop stars. So voice training would have been part of the package. These days it's standard for actors to get their own training and much of that may be substandard (it's certainly not cheap!). There's also...

    Gustin Jeans Selvage Denim made in SF

    I sent them the post in an e-mail (right after I posted here) and they responded quickly. They've agreed to replace the jeans with whatever they have in stock or give me credit for an upcoming run. While I'm saddened at something as simple as a buttonhole being messed up, I'm quite satisfied...

    Gustin Jeans Selvage Denim made in SF

    more quality control issues with Gustin More quality control issues with Gustin: I ordered the 18 oz Super Heavy jeans. They arrived with this flaw in the fly (near the top, you can see the thread not going all the way to the waistline): I didn't think too much of it at the time...

    Any tips for storage of leather shoes?

    Thanks to everyone for their tips. Most of my shoes come with shoe bags, they're getting used. Good call. Unfortunately, I don't have them for the taller boots. I'm not sure if they're available in tall sizes; something or me to look into. I also have some cedar shoe trees, but these are...

    Any tips for storage of leather shoes?

    Here's one for you leather experts on The Lounge. Living in the Midwest, I've put my winter boots away. I put Bick 4 Leather Conditioner on them and boxed them up. Would I need to take them out a time or two and reapply the conditioner or should they be good to go until needed again? Also...

    Who makes the best, strongest duck cotton work jackets?

    Praise for Filson tin cloth jackets I recently acquired a Filson dry finish tin cloth ranch jacket. They're pricey, but I got mine on Sierra Trading Post for 35% off their already discounted price, so I paid about $80 (seriously!) for a Filson garment that retails for over $200. My...

    Gustin Jeans Selvage Denim made in SF

    I logged on specifically to find out more about Gustin jeans. I don't need stitch for stitch vintage reproduction; I'm fine with a modern take on the classics. Anyone out there with experience with the Gustin line(s), feel free to chime in with your experiences.

    Cuffed Jeans

    Boyo, I recently ordered some Gustins that have yet to arrive (the Green Weft). I really want to order more but want to wait to see how the waist fits. Which version did you get?

    Electro-Swing or: How I Learned to Stop Complaining and Love Modernity

    mummyjohn, I usually lurk on The Fedora Lounge but thought I’d drop in to say a ‘thank you’ that is long overdue. Some Fedora Loungers are vintage inspired and some tend to be a bit more into vintage as a complete way of life. I understand the majority of the latter Loungers will look down...

    Made in the USA

    Bonobos is now manufacturing overseas Bonobos used to manufacture everything in the USA. Unfortunately on their website's blog, they have stated that in the near future (possibly already) they're using factories in India and China. I don't know if they'll continue to have certain pants made...
