    MORE HELP PLEASE GUYS

    My Johnson Leathers jacket ( http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showpost.php?p=712645&postcount=7 ) has a cotton drill-type liner in the body and satin in the sleeves. I've come to find that the best of both worlds, as someone who wants to get his arms in his sleeves quickly and comfortably...

    7 5/8 Panama

    If you like it and it's loose, why not have a sweat band put in?

    Any one ever design a Jacket from scratch?

    I have seen a vintage Hudson Bay wool jacket on eBay. Looked a lot like that, but it wasn't a varsity jacket. More like an Ike or like the one BK posted. BTW, BK, great jacket. I'm considering doing something similar, but have no illusions about my sewing abilities. I assume it was...

    For gtdean: Stacks O' Hats!

    Whoa Okay, that is a lot more hats than I have. I feel much better now, thank you. And thanks for the sight of the hats- let's hear more about some of the more interesting ones!

    I look like a goon in my new hat.

    I think the hat's good on you. It's the style of trenchcoat that brings you over the top as a cold war Soviet operative. ;)

    Dating a Cavanagh hat

    That is a good point- older Cavs do have a wider sweatband. However, your picture showed a top hat and they often have a wider sweatband- part of the style. Viper Man-the widest brim Cav I have is also my newest. Can't go on that alone. It seems to me they catered to an old fashioned...

    Free Armani jacket scam (Anyone have this great opportunity yet?)

    Don't knock it I didn't get the horsehide jacket, but I did wake up with a free horse's head!

    Dating a Cavanagh hat

    Thanks Brad, and apologies for my rambling post. I'm trying to remember-can't we tell something from the printing in the liner? I just carefully compared an older and newer liner and, while they are nearly identical, I would say the older liner has broader, more nuanced lines...

    Dating a Cavanagh hat

    Another thing to keep in mind is that size tag. I'm betting that gold tag is a sign that it's late 50s-70s. The gold tag is just not a golden era printing style as far as I can tell. Part of what makes Cavanaghs so hard to date is that they seem to have kept a stash of great felt as...

    Mode Edge Sovereign Stetson

    I did chase it down by number and it is really nice. Sorry, Dinerman, already closed the window or I'd post the link. You're gonna be very happy with this hat. For what it's worth, I'd say that logo, the material used in the liner, etc., point to mid-to-late 40s. Sovereign quality with a...

    Interesting jacket, interesting backstory

    Nice jacket. 1950s, not 30s, but a nice jacket. The rule against posting live ebay auctions is, however, one of the rules I think most valuable here on the Lounge.

    Who else grinds coffee?

    Let me start by saying some of us here roast our own beans from time to time, as well as grinding them! Really? You can control both the temperature of the water and the duration of the brewing with a French press, but not with a siphon. The French press leaves in more coffee solids...

    Hey, I just want to say that I've seen Bigshoe's site, and I really wish I needed a pair of shoes right now. This guy at least appears to be a real find. Check it out: http://www.civilwarboots.com/ No, I've never so much as held one of his shoes and I don't get a percentage. It's...

    Just ordered Aero Windward jacket

    Thomas, Thank you for the photographs. I'm sure you will enjoy that jacket! We are having a Bluegrass and Old Time Festival at multiple venues here in the San Francisco Bay Area this week. I am looking forward to seeing the James King Band on Wednesday.
