Tie clip / tie bar
I only have a "shortie" like that one. But, then again, I only feel the need to use 1 if my tie doesn't lay flat. Earl- earl

Sunglasses that work well with a Fedora?
I've tried my Wayfarer style and my aviator style and they just don't look quite right with my fedora. I believe this lens shape and size is about right for a fedora. Have a thing for sunglasses-though buy "knock-offs," so have a few to choose from and have a variation on the aviator style with... -

Why It's Hard to Wear Hats in Kansas
Being of Celtic extraction, have long thought of getting 1 of those. Will say that I can screw a baseball cap down on my head to stay better in high winds than my fedora however. Having tired of chasing hats down the street, just forego them on real windy days, however. Earl -

Why It's Hard to Wear Hats in Kansas
When you consider that much of the time winds here blow through at 15-25 miles per hour and you need Brylcream laced with superglue to keep your lid on, wearing hats in Kansas is a real challenge.:D Earl -

I recall watching the original series when first aired. Who knew that Shattner's real acting gift would turn out to be satirical comedy? Earl- earl

Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?
When I was a kid there were door-to-door encyclopedia salesmen. Your mother and I are roughly the same age. So, the common things of her experience were shared by me. By the way, SC, used to love Orange Crush as a kid, but you can still find it bottled if you wish. Earl- earl

The Umbrella
Another interesting thread that as a new guy I've stumbled upon. Quite agree with the OP that the 1 piece stick umbrella is a "classy adornment" to go with when I've got that tan trench coat and fedora thing going on. Definitely beats Totes. As I've never plumbed things umbrella I hadn't heard...- earl

The Declining Popularity of the Necktie
Hadn't given this topic much thought til I noticed this thread, but it does seem that one sees many fewer ties these days vs. what I recall even 10 years ago. While I work in an office setting in a "professional" job, in my profession males often seem to dress "business casual," which I do at...- earl

Goodwill buys
Due to fortunate but health-mandated 50 pound weight loss last year, turned to second-hand shops to redo my wardrobe. Rediscovered the pleasure of that which I hadn't done for 20+ years. Lucky to pick up a Brooks Brothers suit and a Christian Dior jacket, $10 and $7 respectively. Also could fit... -

fur felt in hot weather?
Well, I'm a seasonal hat wearer period in that I don't like wearing hats in temps that would make me sweat. As a result my hats don't get out much. Wear the fedora only fall/winter and only to work where I'm spiffed up. Have long been tempted to get a panama, however. But not wanting my head... -

Ask a question, get an answer
As a lover of classically designed duds, have found this forum very interesting and have already learned a ton by perusing the hat forum. Have some beginner's questions, though. Bought an old Lee fedora in a Goodwill, (narrow ribbon)-only one I own-some 25 years ago. As I'm too tech-impaired to...
