    James Dean Jacket

    When I was watching the film very recently I noticed that Dennis Hopper and another guy in the "bad kids" gang were wearing suede "Campus" jackets (zip-ups with knitted cuffs and waistbands). In the school scene Hopper is wearing the rust-colored one and the other guy's wearing a dark brown one...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I'm currently waiting on a beautiful straw from "Newt of Honolulu," who apparently has a shop in the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. DH pointed it out to me on Ebay in December, but I had other uses for the money at the time, so I've been watching it and biting my nails until I was able to order this...

    HNC Hatworks (formerly known as Agnoulita Hats)

    Very, very nice. I think I'll be getting in line soon. Roughly how long is the wait these days? The Etsy site says 2 or 3 weeks.

    Ulster overcoats

    Have you looked at Etsy? I just checked my size (38) and came up with 217 offerings. Might be worth a look.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Oh, heartache! When I was a teenager I thought I was Brian Jones, so after I learned some chords I got a Firebird. I loved the thing but had to sell it when I went to Europe. I still miss it.

    Best felt fedora?

    I was just going to mention Agnoulita, whose prices have remained very reasonable. I was also going to suggest Hufvud, whose hats can also be seen on Etsy. I think most of us started out thinking that, for some reason, brand name hats would be a surer and less intimidating way to go, but once we...

    Akubra for Summer?

    Ha! I wasn't going to say anything officially yet, but yes, I finally went ahead and ordered it. I really can't thank you enough for your thoughtfulness in pointing it out to me: I've been looking for something like it for quite a while.

    Akubra for Summer?

    Yes, what many of the tourists don't realize is that the power of the sun's rays is so much greater in the tropical latitudes. Hats are survival gear.

    Akubra for Summer?

    I moved down to Miami from New York several years ago, and it took me a few years to realize I absolutely needed to wear a hat in this environment, and then a few more to realize that I was a lot better off spending a little extra on good, light-weight hats rather than the cheaper stuff...

    Show us your TIES

    Haggar's! That was the only maker of pants my mother would even consider buying for my brother and me for schoolwear back in the '60s. Great pants.

    WTB a nice fountain pen (for beginners)

    For the price, I don't think you could do better than a Pelikan. When I first got interested in pens many years ago I bought two of them, and they're still two of my favorite and most often-used pens. Take a look at fahrneyspens.com when you get a chance and get on the mailing list for their...

    New Majestic just picked up at Aero HQ

    I see quite a few "Campus Jackets" in rust and dark brown suede on Etsy and ebay, usually for around $100, and I picked up two 1950s ones in great condition during the past year: one's a Penney's and the other an Excelled. Lots of nice comments from my students.

    Show Us Your Dark Side - Shadow and Silhouette Portraits

    A question popped into my head today as I was walking down the street in beautiful sunshine and saw my shadow: why do I always have the sensation of an archetypal image, a kind of Everyman-ish feeling every time I see my shadow when I'm wearing a hat, and I don't have it when I'm not? Curious to me.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Love that hat and the jacket with it. That's a look I've been sporting since I got two black leathers last month, in my case with a black Fed IV. Just a combo that really seems to work.

    What will black leather look like when distressed and worn in?

    Is that goat? Any chance of more pics? That lining looks really nice.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I was watching "East of Eden" recently and saw several examples of that hat. Around WWI?

    Looking for Italian and Japanese Leather Jackets

    I've noticed that Orvis has switched over in the past year from lamb to goat for the majority of their leather jackets.

    Looking for Italian and Japanese Leather Jackets

    I was going to suggest he keep an eye on the Classifieds here, but, jeez, these Hercules jackets look amazing, esp. at those prices. What are the linings like, the construction, etc.?
