    Double Breast button second row alteration

    Thanks! I thought it would be too much work. Was just wondering. Any reason why some have button holes and some don't on the second row? Era or just style of the jacket?

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I get stares, looks, double takes all the time. Complete strangers have come up and said "hey man, nice hat" Was at macy's dept store doing some shopping for the wife and asked for help, the young girl said "wow, you look really sharp, you look like you would be in the movie Godfather", wore...

    Double Breast button second row alteration

    If the roll of the lapel has enough material and the button is close enough already, can the suit be altered to have the second row button buttoned? will pressing the lapels to their new home/location be sufficient?

    The Difference From A 40s DB Suit Between A 30s DB

    You hit it right on the money. I think the younger gen is scared of the "power dressed" look, but it takes some confidence and if you got the accessories down you will not look from the 80's. Double breast is my favorite.

    The Difference From A 40s DB Suit Between A 30s DB

    What a great suit!!! but also depends on the body type how much padding you can handle right? Or can it be personal preference and what era one is going for?

    The Difference From A 40s DB Suit Between A 30s DB

    So does a slanted shoulder seam create that "T" look, the superman look as was the style? Shoulders extending just a bit past the natural line and taper down to the waist to give it that look? I have seen some that have really big measurements as far as shoulder seam to shoulder seam, and I...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Simon, thank you so much for your kind comments. We will see how it holds up in the Houston summer. I heard the Artlites do great in the heat. It is my favorite hat that I own.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Silverbelly Black Ribbon Art has made perfection again for me. This is the featherweight silverbelly with a 2 3/8 raw brim. I was amazed at the color when I opened the box. It was exactly what I wanted, and it seemed as Art read my mind when creating this masterpiece. Have received many...

    USPS - snails pace

    10-7-15 After calling the 1-800 number during lunchtime, they initiated a case number with all my info. Told me to file a claim if it is not received from 15 days of shipping. Later that evening Post office near my home left a voicemail to call next day since they were given the wrong tracking...

    USPS - snails pace

    It's ok, I have faith they will pull through and deliver Art's masterpiece. I've had a suit delivered soaked from snow since the box was half torn and a coin misdelivered to my lucky neighbors. Tonyb, I'm glad you have had better luck than I have.

    USPS - snails pace

    No update since Thursday night. There's dozens of complaints on the web, I just don't understand. People pay for "faster" shipping but yet it's not guaranteed and it seems they never come through. I read they were consolidating in Houston 77315 but it seems to be everywhere lately...
