Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom
The cabela's is woven straw, not pith or cork. Best source I know for helmets, as I've said before, is tagsafari.com -
NPR: What Killed Men's Hats?
Well if the urban planners have their way and mass transit makes a comeback it might just encourage the growing trend to mens hats. BTW, it isn't sneakers that label you as an American in Europe, it's white sneakers. -

Uh, I think I've got a U.S. Army issue in leather out in a box in the garage. If anyone wants it, PM me.- Oldsarge

Vintage Polo Shirts
If it has not pocket, yes. If it does, it's a golf shirt. Nit-picking, I know, but that's what it was originally. Golf shirts have pockets to keep your score card and pencil in. No need for pockets in polo.- Oldsarge

Summer Suits Advice/Opinion
My rule of thumb is that once the temperature gets above 75 it's too hot for a tie and above 80 too hot for a coat. However, today I was down the coast visiting MyTailor.com HQ and they let me look at the Minnis Fresco sample book. That is some amazingly airy stuff. It ain't cheap, none, a... -

Suddenly, I'm seeing hats everywhere!
It just takes time. Don't you remember being young? When my nephew started getting serious about clothing I got him a mid-grade panama. Now that he has been accepted into Stagecraft College in Las Vegas, when his birthday rolls 'round again I'll get him a grey Akubra Stylemaster. Chappie is... -
Vintage Polo Shirts
Whatever gave you the idea that it isn't sartorially accepted? I shall be wearing that exact combination to church tomorrow. The look is one that Alan Flusser recommends in the last chapter of Dressing the Man under the heading of upscale business casual. Wear it without guilt.- Oldsarge

How do you carry your hat in your truck?
I specifically chose 2 1/2" brimmed fecoras because that's the size that best fits both me and the headrest in my Freestyle. Westerns would be a problem . . . -
Safari gear...
Tag Safari clothing for both men and women are made in Africa, for Africa, by Africans. But as Rathdown advises, buy them six months before you go.- Oldsarge

BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED! - Show us your tweed suits, sport coats and pants
To roughly understand Fahrenheit, double the Centigrade and add 32. It's not exact but will do for comfort zones. And, yes, I really love it when I can dress in the clothing that evolved in the UK with UK temperatures. Here in Mediterranean California that is at most about five months of the... -
BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED! - Show us your tweed suits, sport coats and pants
I understand completely. We were in The Netherlands and Belgium for the last two weeks. The highest it ever got was 59 and that was eight degrees above the average high. Needless to say turtleneck, tweed coat, corduroys and a good scarf with an Akubra Stylemaster on top was most appreciated... -
BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED! - Show us your tweed suits, sport coats and pants
Gee, that's quite the hobbit-ish country squire look there with the ascot inside the waistcoat. I kind of like it. -
Show us your Guns!
I came across mine on the AccurateReloading website and got them for a very reasonable price. Now if only I lived closer to a range or got to go hunting more often . . .- Oldsarge

Show us your suits
That's still very reasonable. MyTailor's shop is based in Hong Kong and for their finest fabrics, a suit can easily exceed two grand. Of course, if you're willing to settle for less, they can make a two piece for $659. Normally it will be MTM but since I live within twenty minutes of the U.S... -
