    Buying the right Lee 101J

    the early ones are a bit shorter though. i am 6'4" and it just covers the belt line. the sleeves are perfect, it's just a way different cut than i am used to with the "modern" denims.

    Buying the right Lee 101J

    I realize this is an OLD thread, but there are some things here that are pertinent to a purchase I made. I won an ebay auction on a Lee Rider 101-J, 48L, circa 1964. I do not believe this has EVER even been washed, the denim is that "clean". Everything, points to this being correct, but there...

    In praise of Art Fawcett and customer service

    A little over a week ago I asked how I could "cup" the brim of my VS "Last Man" hat. I thought I could possibly do it myself. Some of you suggested it would better to contact Art, well I did.

    Bib overalls and suit jackets

    isn't that the truth? the old jackets actually look like they were meant to be worn ANYWAY you wished. these Berne bibs are very nice, comfortable and actually tailored a bit, the legs aren't as balloon like as I remember them to be.

    Bib overalls and suit jackets

    Reviving a dormant thread. I always liked this look, I play drums in a blues band, been doing it for 46 years. in the 70's I used to wear "bibs", painter & denim, to perform in. I stumbled on this thread and it got my juices flowing again. Since I now own a couple "Last Man Standing" fedoras I...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Easiest, least "painful" way to cup a brim...

    I would like a bit more cup on my VS Last Man. What is the best way to accomplish this for a novice? Thanks

    Italian brands hats

    I have been talking to Sergio at Melegari, he informed me they use FEPSA felt. That explains a lot from what I learned from you guys about WHY this hat is so very supple.
