"Too much crown"
I think we are now getting into the answer to my initial question: what is meant by "too much crown." Personally, I have always liked the blockier (for lack of a better word) hats - straight sides, with enough height to create more of a "tug-boat" pinch. I also like a good width of brim. It... -

Hat comeback
I would like to own one REALLY nice 3-piece suit, made of heavy flannel or tweed, just because they are timeless. Now, wearing it to work would be another thing - people would look at me like it was dress-up day at school. Too bad, my Blackberry would tuck nicely into a vest pocket, much like... -
"Too much crown"
Thinking about this as I walked the dogs last night (while wearing my CD) ; what would have been an appropriate amount to tip Gus (or any old master) for steaming and creasing my Fed IV? Thanks, Doublegun -

And the waiting begins!
Placed my order for a Long Half-Belt this morning. Nothing special: brown heavy FQHH; no storm cuffs, two inside pockets; size 46 with an extra inch on the length and to the sleeves; common riding lining. I am hoping for hot weather so I'll forget about the jacket until it arrives in...- Doublegun

Anyone happen to have a picture of the Camp Draft in the green color? -
"Too much crown"
It is possible that's what he meant. Now I really don't want to post photos of me under that lid. -

"Too much crown"
Yes and yes, athough he would not speak with me directly but through his wife. I was not trying to flame him with this thread - just figure out what the heck he meant. BTW: pics of my CD and Fed IV coming ASAP. -

"Too much crown"
Your CD looks a little high to me, but other than that....what's your issue with that? (Go easy, I am still learning). -
"Too much crown"
That's the shop. Honestly, I was surprised to see an old-time shop like Batsakes. Here is Detroit we have Harry the Hatter, which is very similar. In fact, that's why I stopped in. Gus would hardly speak to me, leaving his wife to discuss what I wanted. That was problem #1. I offered to... -
"Too much crown"
So I am in Cincinnati yesterday for work and I am wearing my new Fed IV. I had just been thinking that I did a REALLY crappy bash when I walked by a hat shop so I stopped in. I ask if they could help me with my bash and the lady told me (in broken English) that the hat probably needed to be... -
Yes, spring is here but where to find tweed or flannel pants?
Too many of the cloths made today are more about appearance than substance. One of the things I enjoy most about this website is the resources to great cloths and a lifestyle that harkens back to a time that at least seems a little more romantic. I also wanted to ask about the trowsers sold... -
Yes, spring is here but where to find tweed or flannel pants?
The FL has me thinking of fall. Several years ago I had a pair of grey flannel pants that were heavy but comfortable. Seems like most pants today are made for going from the house to the heated garage, to the heated car with heated seats to the office garage and then to the office. I would... -

Breaking in an FQHH jacket
You are absolutly correct about that. I plan put away my Gortex, fleece and other high-tech jackets and wear my Aero for just about everything from shopping to taking out the trash and walking the dogs, regardless of the weather. Seems like most of you own miltiple leather jackets but I am...- Doublegun
