    Rare one

    Just the thing for a stroll along the beach, methinks.

    Falcon Park Hattery

    Oh, look at that! A hat like that makes a man want to go out an buy a new suit to wear under it, something at least made to measure, possibly even bespoke. Worth the wait? I guess!

    What is a Charliesheen and why does anyone care?

    Gone fishing...

    You might give a 'Spey' rod a try. Very long and two-handed, they are reputed to be just the ticket for those with shoulder problems. I have a bit of a missed up rotator cuff and I am giving serious thought to trying one.

    Does a jacket without breast pocket look odd?

    Absolutely!

    That course of medication indicates Lariam. If you tolerate it, fine, but about 25% of people treated with it get adverse effects. Be careful.

    Does a jacket without breast pocket look odd?

    With the exception of that shooting jacket (which I actually like), I cannot help but feel that a shirt or a jacket without a breast pocket approaches uselessness. If I am feeling really dressy I want a pocket square. If not, like Tomasso, I want a place for my dark glasses/notebook/shopping...

    Your favorite toys as a kid?

    Absolutely! For a small child, Christmas morning is a process of digging through the wrapping paper and setting aside the contents so one can play with the real treasure, the cardboard box! When I bought a large gun safe, I unpacked and installed it and wondered what to do with the carton. My...

    Your favorite toys as a kid?

    I remember turning my sandbox into a bunker. We dug out the center, put wooden crates up for the sides and mounded the dirt in front. I can't remember just who we were fighting but we had the best pillbox in SoCal.

    Gone fishing...

    I mean to get there, someday. My favorite freshwater fish in all the world is smallmouth bass. Great battlers.

    The Prefect Suit video.

    I've got another clothing book coming. I'll read it first and then take on The Englishman's Suit. And I know why the firm is called Chester Barrie, 'Simon Ackerman' sounds entirely too Jewish for pre-WWII London.

    Expedition to find the Lost City of Gold

    On the subject of anti-malarials, be sure you can tolerate the one prescribed for you before you leave! Many, and I am included among them, cannot tolerate larium, the normal 'default' drug. It makes me nauseous and gives me violent, psychotic nightmares. Others have suffered psychotic breaks...

    The Prefect Suit video.

    On the other hand, Charlie Allen's is amazing. Of course, given that he probably gets between $2-3,000 for one, it had better be!

    Terror attack in Oslo, Norway

    Really! And I consider myself an open, reasonable, fair-minded person . . . who likes guns.

    The Social Meanings of Hats

    I can't stand T-shirts. I only wear them gardening or exercising because they do a good job absorbing sweat. I wear hats to keep my head either shaded or warm. Of course, if I can keep my head either shaded or warm with style, so much the better.;)

    Frank Lloyd Wright's Only Gas Station

    Yanno, I've been through Cloquet and I think we ate at the Perkins right across from that station and never realized . . .

    The Prefect Suit video.

    That is certainly more of my idea of a frock coat than Oswald's. A frock should only be buttoned up in the most severe weather. To my mind a frock coat is at its best when it frames a truly outstanding waistcoat. The one on the left being a prime example. Brocade? Yeah, baby!

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    My great grandfather's railroad watch is at Renaissance Watch Repair for a complete cleaning and overhaul. I will post picts when it returns around November. Anyone know a good place to find a watch chain? A double Albert would be cool but excessive so a single is fine.

    Just keep a watch at night, an armed watch. No point in repeating Percy's misadventure along those lines.
