    Ask a question, get an answer

    Wow, only one reply to my question? No one else is having hats cleaned and blocked or having sweatbands replaced by anyone other than Optimo? When I saw this thread was "Ask a question, get an answer" I didn't know it was so literally AN answer. Speak up, hat restoration fans. Thanks...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Who has had a hat cleaned and blocked recently? Glad to send a couple to Optimo, but if there is a better suggestion, please speak up. I need a couple of new sweatbands as well as cleaning and blocking. I have found Optimo's quality uneven, but good enough. Just wondering if there is a new...

    Classic Brown Wingtips?

    Isshinryu101, which British shoe makers do you recommend in that price range? I take it you think Allen Edmonds and some other actual American shoes are okay at the right price?

    Turquoise/Native American jewelry

    Thank you, Michaelshane. As a rock hound, I LOVE it. I did not mean to imply that stones from China are inherently inferior to those from the USA. I have just read that some stones from China are enhanced using radiation and are not as nice, especially in the long run, as some naturally...

    This Made Me Feel Guilty About Wearing Fur Felt Hats

    They are unattractive hats. And in this case cheap and low quality go hand in hand. We could discuss Chinese labor practices or politics, but the fact is I don't buy new American hats, with extremely rare exceptions. Vintage, sir. But you know that already.

    Aero A-1

    I should be out in NYC this Spring. If the weather isn't too rainy, I might bring my GW A-1, from the same vintage and the same capeskin I'd guess. And probably about the same size, too. We could be a gang...

    Turquoise/Native American jewelry

    Wow, that's really nice. Thanks for sharing it! How do you ensure that the turquoise you use isn't irradiated Chinese stuff?

    Clearance on Allen Edmonds Dalton dress boot in grey calf

    You mean hit it with some polish? Good point. Gotta figure AE uses quality calf, so it's just about the color. Thanks. Hope someone snags some of these. I gotta count my beans and figure out if I can swing it.

    This Made Me Feel Guilty About Wearing Fur Felt Hats

    I would feel guilty about wearing a cheap hat from China even if they were nice to the animals. There is no guilt in vintage.

    Allen Edmonds' Broadstreet's return!

    I see the Broadstreets on the AE site for $345. Where are you finding them for $199? Or do I misunderstand? That shot of the shoe colors looks really cool... till you try to figure out what you'd have to wear with them! Oh and the silver and cardinal is for Tony Stark... I think the color...

    Clearance on Allen Edmonds Dalton dress boot in grey calf

    Anyone familiar with AE's grey dress calf? This looks like a killer deal if that leather is nice. Please let me know if you're familiar with the leather. And here's hoping someone gets a good deal... http://www.allenedmonds.com/aeonline/producti_SF0110_1_40000000001_-1

    Vintage Polo Shirts

    Seems like most of the suggestions here are no longer available. Can't find a source for Cushman or Bobby Jones or Marksies and the RL and BB offerings are pretty weak these days. I have an old, heavy cotton rugby shirt from Scotland Yard which, it appears, is no longer in business. If...
