    High Crown

    Dazed and Confused This just sounded wrong. I've just checked through Art's "Limited Edition Gallery", twice, and he has no model called "Dillinger" and most of his hats are $385. He does have one listed at $600, and one listed for less than $300, but nothing higher than $600. You must...

    "Ask Men" Video on how to buy a hat

    Turn around slowly and walk away I haven't looked at the video, but if I opened the door to the hat store and saw what I see on the frozen opening frame of this video, I would turn around slowly and walk away calmly, and hope no one saw me coming out of the place.

    Mens Dress: The Look of Nonchalance

    Skeptical about "nonchalance" I think of myself as being chalant. If it matters at all to you what you see looking back at you when you look into a plate glass window when you walk along a city street, you will soon enough learn to dress without giving it a great deal of thought. It's a...

    Which items of vintage clothing would you never wear? And why?

    My two 1) "Plus" anything trousers 2) Sock garters (I keep thinking of Joel McCrae in "Foreign Correspondent" escaping the bad guys. They have him trapped in his hotel room. He's getting dressed and is wearing his shirt, tie, socks with garters, and shoes. He puts on his robe and steps out of...

    Finally ready for first hat-fedora! :)

    Buy the gray one and be prepared that it will shrink if you get it really wet. Wool will do that.

    knackered old Aero

    There's one born every minute How about $358.10 for a nearly-sixty-year-old pair of blue jeans ? So long as there are fools with money, someone will come along to divide the twain.

    A Message From Aero Leather USA

    The game is not worth the candle In the US, bankruptcy laws are for the protection of creditors like the customers left "holding the bag". It is the responsibility of the creditors to hire an attorney to bring suit against the debtor. With attorneys' fees of $200 per hour and up, and that...

    30's Style tweed pants

    For the record Trousers finished by turning the excess length inside the leg and stitching are said to be "hemmed". When you turn the excess outside the leg and stitch them into a fold, they are said to be "cuffed". There is a hilarious (if you are a clothes geek) scene in the Fred...

    any WOOL felt custom hatters?

    Fur felt is not expensive The price your hatter pays for a fur felt body is a very small part of the price you will pay for the finished product. Even a low-volume custom hatter doesn't pay more than $40-60 for the body. The finished product will cost $250 and up. The biggest piece of the price...

    Proper boots, and their place in the vintage wardrobe

    You find a lot of 13 EEE "great pebble or scotch grain" shoes in your neighborhood?

    Proper boots, and their place in the vintage wardrobe

    Easy on, easy off As compared to standard overshoes, these go on and come off easily. I was in a shoe repair shop last Saturday and saw some "Tosh Weather Gear" overshoes that had a woven fabric liner. I was keenly interested, but they didn't have my size. I stepped out of the shop and...

    Wearing a fez

    I asked a friend who was visiting family in Lebanon to see if he could buy one for me. In the end, he took a taxi to Syria (seriously, he took a taxi to Syria!) and came back with one for me. It appears that the Levantine head is small. It sits on the top of my 7 3/4 noggin like Stan Laurel's...

    Proper boots, and their place in the vintage wardrobe

    I bought the Swims overshoes. They scuff the shine off my shoes less than the cheaper brands, but at the price I paid for them, I expected them to leave the polish intact.

    The best and worst vehicles for the hat wearer

    Supine If you are reclining from vertical, you will eventually be supine. If you lean forward so that eventually you are on your belly, you will be prone.

    Newbie on Fedoras.. are these good options to buy?

    "... what actually is an ambassador hat?" It isn't anything. In this case "ambassador" is model name, much the same as a Nissan Maxima. You might as well ask, "What is a Maxima?"

    Pattern/Material Description for Hardy Amies 3 Piece Suit

    Here's my guess "Hobnail" or "Sharkskin" It looks early-to-mid 1970's to me, but I'm no expert.

    Remember these cash/receipt tubes in stores?

    Wow! That takes me back. I grew up near Pittsburgh, too. I remember going downtown to shop at the department stores several times a year. There were no shopping malls in the area then. My mother and father and my brother and I would get in the car and drive downtown (in Pittsburgh, that's...
