Providing Own Material For Custom Hats
Haha. Well, that's not exactly what I was getting at. The coat and hat are supposed to compliment the suit. I'm just matching because I want to see what it looks liked (There are no relevant images on the Inter-net.). But, socks are a slightly different story; they're supposed to be as close... -

The Greatest Men's Dress Hat Article
I'm referring to the large picture that accompanies each of the three recommendations. In it, the item is spelled out, and multiple images are shown. This is the image I'm referring to: "http://blog.knotstandard.com/assets/trilby_hat.jpg". No hard feelings. I didn't get a chance to read what... -

The Greatest Men's Dress Hat Article
"http://blog.knotstandard.com/hats/". Spoilers below: I know very little about dress hats...but I don't even know where to begin, with this article. The article is titled "Top 3 hats and How to Match them with your Suit", and it's not even the incorrect capitalization or poor grammar that's... -

Providing Own Material For Custom Hats
Hahaha! That makes sense (Regarding the socks.). Generally speaking, matching one's socks to their shoes is considered a fashion faux pas. Doing so creates a boot-like effect. The general rule is matching it to one's trousers, or, if not possible, going a shade darker. As for the rest of... -

Lol. For the hat, socks, or both? -

Providing Own Material For Custom Hats
Thank you very much, yet again. It looks like you're the forum's one-stop-shop when it comes to information! One last question (This one is a bit of a long-shot, though.): Since socks are made of wool, too, is it possible to use that same fabric to create a few pairs of them? Yes, I know... -

Providing Own Material For Custom Hats
Thank you for your quick, thorough, and intelligent response. So, using my own wool (Or, wool in general.) will decrease the quality of the hat (Not just in the actual fabric, but also in the make.)? Based on how you described it, I'm guessing that this is something that you wouldn't... -

Providing Own Material For Custom Hats
Hello, all. I've been thinking about getting two suits from a bespoke tailor. I was thinking that one would be a solid color, and the other would be alternating, equal-width stripes (Half an inch one subtle color, half an inch another very subtle color, or something along those lines.). I... -

Looking For a Formal Fedora
Rogera and JimWagner: Thanks a ton. I'll definitely check those out. Seb Lucas: You must be this Forum's comedian. :D This may sound ridiculous, but I'm obsessed with "matching". I very meticulous match my leathers, metals, and fabrics, of course, but it goes past that. If I'm wearing a... -

Looking For a Formal Fedora
Bamaboots, I under-stand how you could have misread my comment. The only thing that puzzles me is your interpretation of what I said would not have made any sense. Why would I ask him for his advice, and then tell him he knows nothing? I don't mean anything by it. I'm just curious as to how... -

Looking For a Formal Fedora
JimWagner under-stands. Thank you. jlee562, I'm not sure. I like the idea of it being more formal, but it also makes it seem less plain. I think I'd rather have one with-out a finish. I don't want it to stand out. I want it to look great, and all, but I'm not looking for something with... -

Looking For a Formal Fedora
No...I was saying that I know about as much as a five year old, not Rogera. Sorry for the confusion. The truth is, I know almost nothing about hats. I was hoping you all could help, and you have...tremendously. Thank you, to every one of you. -

Looking For a Formal Fedora
Rogera: Pardon my insolence, but what are the options? Imagine you're educating your five-year-old on the issue, since the two of us probably share a similar level of knowledge, when it comes to dress hats. -

Looking For a Formal Fedora
jlee562: I know nothing about any of those. Is one more plain/formal/conservative than the rest? Sorry for my lack of knowledge. BR Gordon: I have no interest in wearing this with Black Tie or White Tie. I explicitly stated that this is for a suit. I probably wouldn't wear any hat with... -

Looking For a Formal Fedora
Seb Lucas, the suit isn't black. The over-coat is. Regardless of whether or not it looks good, when matching the color of one's dress hat with their over-coat, that's what I plan on doing. I'm just O.C.D. like that. JackieMatra knows. Any other suggestions, before I buy the hat that he... -

Thank you for all the replies. So, are we all in agreement that JackieMatra's fedora is as formal as fedora's go? -

Looking For a Formal Fedora
Hello. I'm looking for a very plain/formal fedora (Black, of course.). It will be worn with a three-piece, double-breasted suit, and a [black] double-breasted over-coat. I am 5'10", and I have an average/slim head and an average/slim build. I don't want to spend much over $200 U.S.D.. I'd...
