    WWII Khaki Trousers - Originals and Reproductions

    Too bad about Bill's I had an email exchange with their customer service department a few days ago. They've discontinued their original unwashed button fly khakis:eek: Now all you can get are the enzyme and stone washed pre-worn out ones and the price has gone up to $135.:mad: If...

    Good looking boaters that won't break the bank?

    I'm considering considering a boater After all, I am a boater, or perhaps I should use the term "Yachtsman" on this forum :rolleyes: But then of course one must consider the overall look. I'd have to buy a pair of white ducks at least to pull it off. Better yet, a seersucker suit. I...

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    MIstaken identity While wearing my Montchristi fino optimo in Honolulu (With handmade feather lei hatband), a man approached me and said "You're wearing one of my hats." I said "Excuse me?". "I own Dorfman Pacific. That's one of our products.". I removed the hat and showed him the inside...
