Great...now I can start adding "buying NEW hats" to my list of things to blow my money on...as if an impending child weren't enough...!
Beautiful work, Art!
Right - me too. But the catalogs say that raw-edged were their most popular style. I'm just wondering why, if they were so popular, aren't there more around?
Actually, this is something I've always wondered about. I have a whole truckload of 30s and 40s catalogs, which always proclaim the raw-edged hats to be their most popular hats and their best sellers. And I feel like I see a lot of raw-edged brims in old films.
But I agree with...
I saw this a week or so ago, and while I generally don't like remakes and I especially don't like any cgi stuff, I thought it was pretty great. I agree in general with Matt Deckard's assessment. The hats weren't right, a lot of the suits weren't right...and most of all, when Brody is in the...
herringbonekid, you asked about my wife and I never got back to this thread! sorry.
She wears some vintage, and is awfully good at finding new clothes that somehow look vintage on her. Right now, we're expecting a baby, and there's not a whole lot of vintage maternity to be found...
She...
I split the seam on the sweat all the time for 6 7/8 hats to make them fit better for me (I'm a 7 also). If you do that and use the stretcher just a bit, it should fit great.
I have a ton of vintage fedoras, of varying qualities, as well as a modern Borsalino and a couple of Akubras. Obviously, we don't get a whole lot of rain here in AZ, but we do have a monsoon season that can get a little crazy in terms of rain, and I've been caught in two or three of them. The...
If you're going to spend that kind of money on a new hat, I heavily recommend you buy something other than a new Stetson. I don't personally own any new Stetsons, but I only ever hear absolutely terrible things about their durability - particularly in the rain. In fact, one member of this...
My suits are about half-and-half, in terms of double and single-breasted. I actually sort of like the single-breasted better, but they're much harder to come by.
Marc, I'm married. And yeah, the clothing storage thing is definitely an issue. The 30+ hats I have (all in boxes) and the...
Thanks!
Actually, I just counted - I have around thirty suits, and over half of them are tan or brown. And those probably get 85% of my daily wear. Brown is sort of my color, I guess you could say - most of my wardrobe is brown or tan. Similarly, I have around the same number of hats, and...
Here's my double-breasted 3-piece pinstripe suit with the almost 22"-cuffs. I sort of took these photos in hurry, on my way out the door to an xmas party. Yes, I know I'm showing cuff on one arm and not on another. One of my arms is longer than the other and I have to consciously rectify the...
