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

    I know what you mean about the weight, but Julie Leitch so perfectly nailed the fit that I can wear it with a t-shirt and it looks like a fitted jacket, and I can also wear it with a Shetland sweater and still have complete freedom of movement. I just got back from a trip to the N.J shore where...

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

    Tommer, I believe it was you who had a brown LHB years ago. Your pics were the ones that made me go ahead and order. I still have it and it's still my favorite jacket. Eight years ago?!! Nice to hear from you again.

    Panama Hat Thread

    That's one of the nicest colados I've ever seen. I'd send her off to Art Fawcett and get her dolled up.

    I need some HAT help!!!!

    I couldn't agree more. I'm a 7 7/8 Brainiac myself and, although I like skimpies, I look terrible in them. Not only your size, but the kind of face you have matters too. Guys with thinner faces look fine in shorter brims, and those with wider faces with wider ones. Of course, there's no...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Oh, man, I've been trying to get Tom to expand his size range for years, but no luck. Beautiful straw!

    SCHOTT suede jacket

    Those are fantastic jackets, very popular in the late '50's and early 60's. I found one recently on Etsy from J.C. Penney's and really like it. I'd say keep it.

    Puerto Fino straw hat size 7 3/4

    It was kind of a silly question, I know. Let me think about your kind offer for a day or so: I'm just wondering if I'd wear them much, as the tropical sun requires as much brim as possible. Thanks.

    Puerto Fino straw hat size 7 3/4

    Hi, DH. I'm a 7 7/8 (63 cm.). Do you think the hat could be (gently) stretched up a mite? I really like the looks of this one. Also, how wide is the brim?

    Just shows how technologically gullible I am. Still, nice to see one: you should send a copy to Akubra.

    I'd like to see the Fed IV in navy as well.

    wash your jeans?

    That's right. I was born in 1951 and don't remember ever seeing an adult wearing jeans, except in photos of farmers. The one exception was my Aunt Gretchen, who was an artist in Greenwich Village.

    Biltmore 7 7/8 or 63 cm Milan straw hat

    It's a semi-public space: you get what you get. I'm still (of course) thinking about the hat. The only thing holding me back is the 2.5" brim, which is skimpy for me. All the best.

    Biltmore 7 7/8 or 63 cm Milan straw hat

    Semi-normal? Very sensitive. Twice, no less.

    Phoenix Hat Company

    # 3. A straw version of DH's "Arizona" would be killer. I'll definitely stand in line for one.

    THE SUNBODY ASSOCIATION

    Not a bad idea. Once I've shaped a hat I seldom change it anyway. What always surprises me is when I see a $200+ straw with a cloth band. How much more could it cost for a strip of lamb? The Sunbody band I find less irritating than some of the others, but leather would be better. I wonder if...

    THE SUNBODY ASSOCIATION

    Not yet, but it's a strong contender. I always start thinking about the Sunbodys at this time of year, just before the summer Monsoons. I too would love to see some pics of these in the wild.

    The Black Hat Brigade

    I don't know if it's true, but I remember reading that, prior to WWII, many of the hats that seemed to be black were actually dark navy blue, particularly in evening-wear hats. Anyone know if this is true? Anyway, there's nothing that looks as good with a black leather jacket (non-biker) as a...
