    Getting first hat. Suggestions?

    Anthony is a really nice guy. I bought my first Fedora there a little while ago. He has a nice selection of tweed caps and other hats. Bob, have you purchased one of his custom straw hats? He has a good eye for size and matching hat color to skin tone. He seemed to know right away that...

    to all the Loungers of the Jewish faith

    Oh yea, I forgot to mention that he wore traditional dress including a very wide brimmed black fedora. :fedora: He took it off about halfway through the show. Also, at the beginning of the show he called up two young women from the audience and had them light a menorah and say the appropriate...

    to all the Loungers of the Jewish faith

    Thanks, Wolf. I spent the first night with family and then with my sister at a Matisyahu concert. Matisyahu is a ultra-orthodox Jew & reggae singer. It was interesting show - he's pretty good. Barry

    Borsalino Allessandria

    Peter, I usually fall into the XL range. Although I'm 5'8 with a medium frame my head is fairly large and "oval shaped" according to a hatter. My new borsalino is an 8 (usa). It fits perfectly. So far I have have found hats that fit in the 61-64 range. My Akubra fed is loose - it's a 61...

    Borsalino Allessandria

    Sure, I'd wear a vintage hat. I just can't seem find them in my noggin size. :rage: :cry:. Until I find a secret cache of 64's I'll have to buy off the shelf and custom.

    Akubra Fed: Carbon Grey

    Thanks. I wish I had waited for one of the Camptowns. I might join in the next group purchase. I ordered this hat from Hats Direct in Australia. The shipping took a little longer than I expected - but then again it is gift giving time so these things take time. The brim is really...

    Adverse Weather and our Fedoras

    I'll wear some of my hats and caps out in the rain. I think my new Akubra can take a bit of a beating just from the feel of it. However, I also picked up a Borsalino Alessandria and it seems so soft and supple - I'd be worried to take it out in a thunderstorm. Barry

    Anyone collect pistols?

    My college roommate's father collected old guns and all sorts of WW2 artifacts. He owns three or four Thompson Submachine Guns. Two are shooters and one or two are historic aritifacts. I think one was used in some shootout with Dillinger. I always thought it would be cool to go get dressed...

    Hat Box source

    I'm trying to find a source for nice hat boxes too. I'm actually thinking of an inexpensive wardrobe piece I saw on Ikea's website as a possible hat/cap storage unit. I know their furniture is budget oriented and I'm going to check out the quality tomorrow afternoon. I've never purchased...

    Old time radio DJ's

    I did. I worked at American University's student run radio station (not WAMU). I don't remember much - it was about 13 years ago. I don't even remember if the station broadcast though, lol. I think there was a campus TV station that you could tune into to listen to the station. I...

    My Next Jacket?

    My old leather jacket was a "bomber style" jacket that I bought at a department store. I'm pretty sure it was cowhide (and a low grade cowhide at that). To be honest the leather quality was a joke compared to the Highwayman. There's just no comparison. The old jacket was super soft and the...

    My Next Jacket?

    My black highwayman cleared customs around 8:00PM tonight and it's enroute to the delivery depot. My guess is it will arrive either tomorrow or Tuesday. Thanks for the link, Rick. Barry

    Getting a 40s suit (or two) tailor made

    Thanks. Went to the tailor and they took my measurements for a nominal fee. Nice father and son operation - they're altering my harris tweed jacket. Once I hear back from Rob I'll probably place an order for the Cotton Club. Barry
