    People who talk to themselves

    "Kennedy's Children" anyone? This thread should be on stage or screen. It's by turns serious, judgmental, whimsical, introspective, hysterically funny, and totally entertaining. I told myself not to post this but then I ignored myself and did it anyway. Now I'm going to leave me alone and go...

    Two or Three Button

    I'm asking this from a position of ignorance regarding bespoke suits. It appears to me that the issues pointed out by Orgetorix regarding the right shoulder of Douglas' suit are apparent in two pictures of the jacket on the mannequin. Would it not be comonplace for a tailor to address this...

    Who should sing the theme for the next Bond?

    The Dame from Tiger Bay, Cardiff, Wales - Shirley Bassey. Apparently, Daniel Craig commented that he would like a new Bond song to be sung by her. I cannot locate an attribution for this but I'm still searching.

    CSULB - looking for a well dressed fellow on campus.

    California State University Long Beach? Seems to me this fellow might be easier to find if something was posted at a central location(s) on campus. You might want to keep a camera handy and try to snap a picture(s) the next time you spot this elusive sartorialist.

    Knox Vagabond new pictures...

    Astounding Acquisition! feltfan is correct. That sweatband is shot. The best thing to do is remove it and store it in a ziplok bag before it deteriorates any further. A new sweatband can be installed by any reputable hatter and need not affect the fit of the hat if you have the hat cleaned and...

    New Champ in 7 5/8: A Story + What's your guess on the age?

    When Pigs Fly! I'd love to find anything in 7 1/2 or 7 5/8 for 6 bucks. Nice one, Matt. But... that looks a bit stingy for you. The brim, not the price.

    Why are you selling off all your precious collections?

    As far as vintage hats are concerned, I find that swaps/trades are as liberating as selling. And... the trade doesn't necessarily have to be a hat(s) for a hat(s). The same goes for books, clothing, fishing tackle, firearms, etc. It's all good.
