    Hat Store Images

    Lock & Co., London, England Here is the Lock & Co. store, closed for Boxing Day. The store where the coke or bowler was invented. Here is a shot inside: And from across the street: Last time I was in the store was many years ago. Already their hats were nothing...

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    Turnbull and Asser Here's a type A-1 style jacket I photographed on Boxing Day in the window of Turnbull and Asser, London. Happily the store was not open so I never found out the hideous truth about the price. The knits are hard to see, but very accurate and nice on the wrists. The...

    Zip or buttons on a custom Aero?

    Not sure how useful such generalizations are. http://www.goodwearleather.com/pages/gwa1_images3.html

    **NEWS EXTRA**Good Wear flying jackets take vintage authenticity to new heights!!

    I did, in fact, order this jacket from Goodwear. Unfortunately, John has only one example to work from, and it is, if I recall correctly, a size 44 (vintage, so closer to a size 42 today). I wear a modern size 48 or 50. Because the jacket is so different from a type A-2 or a type A-1, he...

    leather jackets

    And in today's Guardian: Leather for men is back with a vengeance. But be careful how - and where - you wear it Pictures for the article here. That said, I see fewer young people wearing leather in the San Francisco Bay Area (outside of certain subcultures, anyway). The hoodie and...

    Found on another site

    Hey, I wouldn't advocate rounding up wearers of hats like these and sending them to re-education camps. There must be a place for such a look. But check out the link. The hat is described as "smart-looking" and "That hat, though: hot. If it coordinates, it can nicely spice up the whole...

    Bow Ties

    I like and have worn bow ties. However, I am with Jon Stewart on both TC and his bow ties. Honestly, he doesn't pull it off- it's a silly costume on him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmj6JADOZ-8

    If you read the Lounge for too long, you might forget there is a world out there... sort of an alternate universe... http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showpost.php?p=721690&postcount=4382 I can't iframe the link and it's all about the comments, but here is the image, to whet...

    Heads up for the Londoners:

    Sigh Wish I'd seen this thread before going to London for the holidays, rather than afterwards! I'll have to look more carefully next time. I did go by various stores and wondered. Saw nothing good in larger sizes in Portobello. Tried Bermondsey on Boxing Day, following bad advice...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Glad you got that one, Brad. I spotted it earlier but decided I wanted more information before pulling the trigger. Glad it's in good hands and that we'll see what it's really like soon.

    Ah, double guns are guns, or most likely rifles, with two barrels? The tattoos do have a certain appeal. But the engraving on the first image you posted is pretty impressive.

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Cigar value of the year? Well I never had an opportunity to pick up a supply of Cuban cigars while in London. That town really closes down around x-mas. Tonight I smoked another El Mejor Emerald. I think that's my best discovery of 2008. Best, at least, for value. It's a full flavor...

    Welcome. What is "double gun collecting"? Tried to search Google for it and came up with this: But perhaps double guns go better with double breasted suits?

    Attic find - "dads fishing coat" style U-boat / Dr.Who

    Thanks for the translation and the suggestion. I'm a US 48 or 50... I've spent a fair amount of time on German eBay, but haven't found much by way of quality vintage in my size.

    Attic find - "dads fishing coat" style U-boat / Dr.Who

    Congratulations on your find. The site you list is interesting. Are you familiar with their products and are they any good? Oh, and what is läpivär jätty and kuluva? :rolleyes: The online translation systems don't seem to know.

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Actually, I happened to walk by it. I also happened to walk by JJ Fox and Davidoff. I have been doing a LOT of walking. Problem is, nothing is open x-mas and Boxing Day. But tomorrow I figure everything is open. So the question is, is it worth the expense? Which cigars are so good I...

    Paul's Hat Works

    Ha! If you read a bit more of this site you'll know better than to suggest I'm associated with the Hat Guys. Glad you enjoyed your visit with Michael. I still think to sell hats at those prices is just dishonest and takes advantage of the lack of knowledge of the buying public. Unless I...
