Thank you DH66,
The only thing that sort of irritates me, as I am not used to them, is the reversed pleats he decided to do. They face inward towards the zipper.
The tailor said he can do a three peice suit in whatever style and material for $150. I have to curb my impusles or I won't be able...
Good day to all,
I am not sure if this is the proper thread as I do not post a lot. I thought I would share picture of my new trousers. They are not vintage but the style is in keeping.
I am teaching English here in Vietnam and had some trousers made at a local tailor. I showed him a picture...
Stratcat, I don't think you would be disapointed. It takes on a rather dull colour in the photos I posted but as soon as you see it in light it seems to be almost a camel colour and it comes to life.
Thank you gentlemen, I am very happy with it. The pics just don't do the colour justice. Now if I can just find some "free" 1950's trouser or even suit patterns I might be able to get a tailor her to make me a suit not only that fits me but that I like the style of.
Good evening to all,
Well after much anticipation and neurotic behaviour I finally recieved my second Fed IV in Tawny Fawn
.
I had orderd my first FED IV in Moonstone prior to the Tet Holiday here in Vietnam and it arrived in 4 days. This one in Tawny Fawn was sent on the 16th of February and...
Hello Chamuco,
Both are great, I hate deciding colour, I wish I could have them all. To make the choice easier I think you should look at what colours you regularely wear. If you wear lots of browns and earthtones I would go with the sand. If you wear a lot of greys, blacks and navy blues I...
Good Day to All,
I have been a member here for a few years but never write or answer threads. I have spent countless hours reading and learning from the rest of you and I must say collectively you could open a Hattery Vocational Trade school.
I finally was in a position to order a Fed. IV...
to: Hatophile or anyone else
If someone is interested let me know,I can order it for you.I think I or whomever should find out the cost of shipping to the U.S. to see if it's even feasible.

Hello Froguy,
What does a hat way more or less?I could ask here what it would be.I really like the one on this page,http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=5747389632. If it were also fur felt that would be a steal for 21 dollars.
Peter
The place I got it off is taobao if you care to take a look.I use google translate to read it.It translated as 100% wool but that's not what I received .I don't know if it was an accident or what they meant to send.Here is the address http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=5747334884 The first word...
Thank you Blackthorn,
I have found this site to be a wealth of information on so many things not just fedoras.
Teaching is good,I was a C.O. at a max prison for 10 years in the Seg unit.At least my students don't wish to kill me lol.
As for the hat I should add that the crown cam...

I received a new hat today I ordered here on Taobao.com.It's a Chinese version of Amazon.I was not expecting much but turned out great.I had ordered a...
I have been lurking for quite some time now,and I had an idea of what to expect,the most anoying thing was the wait .If I were waiting for th epitome of craftsmanship thats one thing but this of course was another.Overall as these are my first two hats and the price including shipping was...
Thanks Gentlemen,
As I am writing this post my wife is laughing as I haven't taken my hats off all evening, despite their defects.I keep switching from grey to brown.In any case you are all correct in saying these won't be my last hats and I have already picked out a couple by Akubra via...
Hello to All,

I ordered two hats from Hornets Hats on February 4th,2010 both Adventurer's . They were finally shipped on February 26th.Although they are made to order I thought this time frame a trifle long.They finally arrived today...
Hello to All,
Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Peter, a Canadian presently self exiled to China. I have been lurking around the site for the past month trying to familiarize myself with the intricacies of fedoras, felt quality, style, terminology and hats in general. I must say...
