    To beard or not to beard?

    You ain't that old! I have an uncle who fought in WWII and still going strong -- he's 98 and owns his own business (He has been married more than once. Never divorced he outlives all of his wives). Unfortunately he doesn't sport a beard, but I'm sure he has a few fedoras lying around. LOL

    To beard or not to beard?

    Oh man, Ft. Polk. I've never been there but I've heard it's the armpit of the US Army. LOL. I was 13B, 82C, then a 96H. Do you have a photo, the fuzz might have been hemmingwayesque. My family and I thought I looked a little weird after my ETS and I grew a beard. Especially at first. They just...

    To beard or not to beard?

    I've been wearing a beard since I ETSed from the army (US) in 2013. I will never go back to clean shaving. For the Covid-19 lock-down, I do believe that at times it may make my face more hot, when wearing a mask. However, with a little beard oil, I find that I really enjoy the scent with the...

    Penny Loafers

    I love the idea of penny loafers but I can't wear them. They don't really stay on my feet. I think it's because the top part (the Vamp?) doesn't cover the needed amount of my foot for it to be secure when walking. I do think penny loafers look good on others. I really think women in penny...

    Do women hate men's hats?

    A watch cap seems to be the go to when it's cold here in Minnesota as well.

    Do women hate men's hats?

    As to the question, do women hate men's hats? Well, I think it depends on the woman and her friends (we are all influenced by the people around us). There are some who belong to a "subculture" that will wear a hat, usually a fedora, with just about anything. With Birkenstock sandals, socks...

    Do women hate men's hats?

    I think the link below speaks to part of the problem: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/785ag4/the-history-of-the-fedora Unfortunately, most people in the USA are followers when it comes to style: Everyone wants to be different but in the same way. Vice is just capitalizing on this to make $$.

    Do women hate men's hats?

    Beside the point of historic humor in a large man with a small hat. How do women, and men, and society, perceive hats on men these days? I'm sure it depends on culture and sub-culture (I would consider us on the Fedora Lounge a sub-culture of American culture). I think I get more complements...

    Do women hate men's hats?

    I was born and raised in Texas. I can confirm with jswindel2 regarding hats in small town Texas. Now, Texas is a big state and I haven't lived in every part of the state nor do my relatives. But I've never received a weird look or anything in the Tyler, Wills Point, area, or in the the Bartlett...

    Your Favorite Sandwiches?

    I would have to say, a muffuletta that I had in New Orleans. I was born and raised in west Harris County and I went to school in Austin. I was a friends-with-benefits with a beautiful red head from New Orleans named Sara(h)--- I don't know if she put an h on the end or not. She took me to a...

    Do women hate men's hats?

    I totally agree. I spent 9 years in the Army and very much hated that stupid beret. It was good for nothing. Luckily, I ended up in a unit whose Sgt. Major hated the beret also so we got to wear our soft caps. Okay, now for a rant: I also hated the digital uniforms. They always looked sloppy...

    Do women hate men's hats?

    I've just had my seventh or eight piece of skin cancer removed. I've been a full time hat wearer since about 2008.

    I saw that at the store when I was there, it did get my attention. Well, New Years is coming up, I should be finished with the Koval by then.

    Wow, you know, I don't know. I remember him being much, much more chill that Japanese Anime. BUT, people can be different online. Who knows. I wish I knew how to get a hold of him now.

    Help With a Quote

    Hi guys, I just thought I would bump this up. Even if it is just a guess, that would be great. Did my buddy Andre actually make it up? I'm beginning to think so. I lost track of him after he went to study engineering at some school in Wisconsin.

    Help With a Quote

    Hi All, I have been banging my head against a wall for about three weeks. This is why: About five years ago, a friend of mine gave me a quote when we were discussing what it means to be a gentleman. The quote was so awesome that I wrote it down in an email and emailed it to myself. From there...
