Post New Hats Here!
Yes, that one came from HatsDirect. I'm really taken with it and the color is so versatile I'm hard pressed to decide on what other color to buy. However, my next Akubra will be a Homburg that I can wear with my stroller next Easter and now that the Mrs. has decided to start patronizing our... -
Post New Hats Here!
I finally broke out my camera and took a shot of me in my Akubra Stylemaster. I love this had and am going to hate putting away when the weather gets much warmer. Ah well, there's always the panamas. -
Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom
A short uniform with pith helmet is just one helluva stylish way to go to war. Digital camouflage might be better for your health, but the old look is vastly superior. -
Morning Suit?
I am really hard pressed to imagine a use for such a garment. Wedding? Not in my socioeconomic class! The only other reason for owning one would be to wear to church on Easter morning. Though for that price, one wearing a year ain't bad. -
Plaid fedoras: yea or nay?
I suppose what a guy puts on his dome is his business but for me, not just hell, no but HELL, NO!!! -

Interview with a Georgian Tailor
Several of us over at AskAndy were especially impressed with the blue windowpane jacket. I'm hoping someone has had work done by Mr. Pomeroy and can give a personal report. -

Hat articles and photos...
A Homburg wasn't my first serious hat nor was it the second. However before it's time to reassemble the stroller for next Easter, I will have one. For those wondering where to get one, Akubra (wouldn't you expect it?) makes them in black, carbon grey and fawn. -
Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom
Those are some nice helmets the boys are wearing but I'd really rather see more of Dorothy! -
Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom
Damn, now you've got me planning to wear mine this weekend with my kilt at the Highland Games. Kilt, wool socks, sgian-dubh, white polo and helmet . . . check! Just the ticket for downing a brew or three and a couple of haggis. Yum! -

The neck shades are available from any decent fly-fishing shop. They're absolutely essential on the Florida flats when angling for bonefish. -

Panama in Vegas
If there is anywhere in the U.S. that is panama country year round it must be Las Vegas. Fortunately, mine despises the place and would much rather go fly-casting in the surf. -
Norfolk Jacket
And shooting what would appear to be a Model 12. Obviously a woman of taste even if a bit sartorially confused. -
Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom
I have the cavalry model. The sweatband is leather, adjustable and velcro fastened. The helmet is lined and the top of the liner is quilted to provide a pad for the top of your (possibly hairless) head. I wore it on one safari, just for giggles, and it was quite comfortable. -
Norfolk Jacket
Good possibility. Buzzaccarini's Men's Coats doesn't give any examples of gusseted shoulders on a coat until an illustration dated 1921 so it may have been something that tailors concocted after the end of WWI. -
Norfolk Jacket
Though action backs are useful for comfort and flexibility in any case their normal usage is in shooting jackets where the gusset at the shoulder allows greater ease in mounting the gun. The original Norfolk was designed just for that purpose as the reinforcing straps down the front to support...
