How did you start wearing hats?
Anybody else get a request for an interview recently by a Wall Street Journal reporter? He wanted to know about my very recent decision to wear hats, so this is what I told him.....About seven years ago my 81 year old father passed on and I started looking after my mother. Much to my chagrin I...- singlechange

Tailoring a mediorce fitting suit VS. selling it to buy a new suit?
Agree with Ferard. Once you have experienced a custom, made to measure or bespoke suit, hard to go back to off the rack menswear. I live in a fairly large city and my tailor is highly skilled and if you were to have your Alfani suit done there with all the alterations you mentioned, the...- singlechange

Question on Panama hat sizing, (Brent Black?)
Ditto from me. I very recently began using public transportation to and from work in downtown Washington, D.C. As a newbie hat person I took the plunge to rotate wearing my two panamas (one marked 6 3/4 and other 6 7/8) to work and find that the slightly larger size hat works best on those...- singlechange

Re: Raymond Weil (Geneve) 18k plated watch SOLD
Metropd, Is the red box in background the Raymond Weil original box? Also, I am guessing the watch might be from the 1960's or 1970's from the style, so is the case diameter about 33mm without the crown? Not the huge cases we see nowadays....Would be useful to know size of bracelet too.- singlechange

Panama Hat Thread
An eBay item that turned out well for me. When I asked about brim and crown size, the seller reiterated that when the panama came into his possession (didn't tell me the source) it was brought to a San Francisco hatter who confirmed it was a Montecristi.- singlechange

The Suits you see on Ebay? Any tips?
Lots of good common sense advice in the earlier posts. I've won suits on eBay auctions and been at it for several years now. The KEY is making sure that the honest seller is offering a generous RETURN policy. Also, if you are looking for summer suit, perhaps a lightweight wool in grey color is...- singlechange

Blazer buttons?
It used to be that every gentleman had a blue blazer in his wardrobe but the times and trend has changed where now stylish men wear their odd jackets from orphaned suits or black sportcoats. If I were you, I'd find that perfect blue blazer and source the brass buttons elsewhere. I found a moth...- singlechange

Hi Panambob, Yes, I also thought so and when I put magnifying glass to it at home before Vince had the chance to look at it, I counted something closer almost double his count but when I counted I wasn't sure exactly how to tally each weave.- singlechange
