    Rain Hat

    Sorry, but I'm coming in on the middle of this conversation: to what other hats were you contrasting the Banjo's crown? A comparable hat might be the CD, but that one's an open crown and you can adjust it to whatever height you like, which is something that I like to have the option to do.

    Rain Hat

    Down here at this humid, miserable time of year I wear a Sunbody for the afternoon deluge. In cooler times it's one of the Campdrafts.

    Moustaches-Yes or No

    I'm with the pro side all the way and wouldn't change it a bit. It definitely gives you a 1930's Ricardo Romantico sort of mystique: women seem to go for this style much more than the Yosemite Sam look. If you're still in doubt, you might want to ask a stylish, attractive lady what she thinks...

    Akubra Overload

    Exactly. I have a broad, wider face and widely-spaced eyes (Scots-Irish ancestry), and I find I look terrible in a hat with any sort of taper to the crown, especially center-dented ones. I think I mentioned on another thread that the first time I saw myself in a mirror wearing a Borsalino...

    Akubra Overload

    Hi, dkstott, and congratulations on your entry into the wonderful world of Akubras. I was just wondering if you've checked out the Fed IV and the Campdraft styles, as the Stylemaster was my first choice when I first got interested in hats about ten years ago but quickly led to the other styles...

    Aero Barnstormer in Seal Vicenza

    That really does look fantastic. Isn't your closet getting a bit crowded (apostate, jealous question)?

    Post New Hats Here!

    DH, these photos are really well done. It's nice to see anyone take this much care with what they're doing. Colors, light, setting - perfect. Cheers.

    Akubra Overload

    One thing I've noticed is that not only is the tan shade of the Silverbelly almost always inaccurately reproduced on my computer screen but so is the color of the ribbon, which is a nice light green in reality that nicely compliments the tan.

    A-2 Flight Jackets on Navy Sub Crewmen in "Crash Dive" (1943) Film?

    It's possible. My dad had an A-2 that he won in a troop ship card game on his way to Japan from Iwo Jima. I'd imagine these things had a way of moving around at the time.

    Once upon a time in Hollywood

    As soon as the movie opens, I think it'll become as iconic as Pitt's Fight Club jacket. From the shots I saw, the whole outfit's perfect for that character in 1969: the jacket as well as the coordinated turtleneck and slacks.

    Milan Mania

    That's quite a find! Nice hat.

    Peters Brothers

    Their website (when it was working) had pretty decent prices all around. My experience has been entirely with their custom hemps (I have three): I paid $100 for the first two and $150 for the third (the first two were a special price for Lounge members). You can't beat those prices anywhere, and...

    Harness Boots that goes well with jackets - I need your candid opinion

    Check out ebay first. There's a guy with a shop on there that sells new belted harness and harness boots (Frye) for about $200.00. Frye has been doing this for a while: suddenly cancelling a great line of boots only to replace them with something similar - some kind of sales strategy, and an...

    Harness Boots that goes well with jackets - I need your candid opinion

    I just noticed that Frye seems to have cut their belted harness boots from their line: I have a pair now in black but just saw a pair in the reddish-brown on ebay. Get 'em while you can.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    And there I was thinking I had pretty much all the straws I wanted. If anyone ever sees one of these in a 7 7/8 (I knlw, I know), please sound the alarm.

    Remembering How Kids Dressed In The 50's

    One point I questioned was the comment that the boys wore jeans to school. I went to high school in the 60's, but even then jeans were not permitted, nor was long hair during most of the decade. Also, during the late '50s, a great deal depended upon where you lived, as styles for boys were...

    Linen Summer Jacket?

    I've picked up a few very nice, light-weight "work coats" on the J Crew Sale and Factory pages over the past year or so. A couple are linen and one is made of an Italian cotton that's so light you hardly notice it when you have it on. They seem to have big sales on these pages every weekend, and...

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    Love that cap! I'm currently looking for a blazer in that pattern, maybe a bit darker.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I think I handled one of those. As I remember, the grain on it was printed and the leather felt like cardboard. The style was nice, though.
