got myself some new duds.
Basically, the pants were made to be worn exceptionally high (like above the belly button). The first time I wore a pair of these pants, I happened to walk past a mirror, and I stopped dead in my tracks and said: "That's it! That's the element I was missing! High-waisted pants make it!" I... -
Aarsenic and Old Lace
I have this, too - I really like the movie, and being a big Cary Grant fan, I like him in it - but it's the performance he always complains about.- havershaw

got myself some new duds.
Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, that suit's a beauty, all right. It's mid-weight and could be worn in summer without much problem. I also have a summerweight, paper-thin dark brown double-breasted from 1939, as well as a black-and-white houndstooth from the same year, also double breasted... -
got myself some new duds.
Just got this suit: that one's a little blurry. here's one with my Stetson Twenty: I bought two other suits a few weeks ago (both late 30s double-breasted suits). This one was made in 1948. That's pushing it a little, but it was cheapish and I love the color. I just happened to... -

two worlds collide...update!
Well, to be honest, the hat could be made out of duck feathers and I'd still probably buy it - I buy pretty much anything on eBay that's from the Ambassador. I just think it would be supremely cool if it turned out to be a really nice hat as well. And it's my size! I am going to email the... -
A really big Borsalino...maybe for Canadave?
Sorry - been a tad busy (still am). I'm recording some folks from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and they're staying with me right now. It's been a pretty hectic week at the ol' studio, trying to get a full-length album done in a week. -
two worlds collide...update!
It's not often, when one has multiple hobbies, that they cross into one another. but stranger things have happened. Examine, if you will: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8109325597&ssPageName=STRK:MEBI:IT For those not in the know, the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles... -
A really big Borsalino...maybe for Canadave?

Fedora, I have a Stetson Twenty which came from Philly...does that confuse things any further? -

A really big Borsalino...maybe for Canadave?
Hey Canadave! Check it out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=14065&item=8111123828&rd=1 23" seems like a huge circumfrence to me, and it says below that it's marked a size 9!!! I'm a 7...and my Borsalinos are usually 5 or 5 1/2. Sounds like this might work out... -
What's a wind trolley?
The price you pay: you walk around with a string connecting your hat to your body. I tried it once. Not only did it look a little...um, dorky, but everyone asked me why my hat was tehered to my body. I like the way they look on a hat, just not in use. -
Dang Stetson Hat Sizes
That's pretty much the exact same encounter I had with her, only mine was a vintage Dobbs, but it was similarly manhandled. I was not permitted to handle (or even touch) her Borsalinos. After a couple of minutes, my wife and I were basically asked to leave if I weren't buying anything. -
Trying my hand at hat restoration
Yeah, it seemed a little too ambitious for me. Plus, I have three or four ahead of it that are in much better shape. -

Hats Off To Art Fawcett
I bid heavily on that hat. (Not heavily enough, unfortunately...) Glad it went to a great home. That's a real treasure you've got there. Congratulations! And great work as always, Art. -
Trying my hand at hat restoration
Darek, You have yourself a beautiful hat there. Congratulations!!! And as far as that other hat goes...I almost bid on it myself, believe it or not (well, I have a Fedora block, and a man needs a guinea pig once in a while...!). -
Dang Stetson Hat Sizes
Hey, I met Mrs. Dewson once, come to think of it. ...it was a pretty short meeting, when she got a whiff of the fact that I might not walk out of there having spent a couple of hundred bucks on a modern-day Dobbs. -
The finest book on hats, ever.
I saw that picture of Graham at OPTIMA and wondered why it made its way in there...it's cool he was there, and everything...but I wasn't too sure what it related to in the book. plus, if I recall right, it's just sort of shoved in there, the last photo in the book, sort of a, "oh, and here's... -
How to travel with hats
That Stetson 100 case is just what I was talking about (I've bid on several, but always get outbid). I have a case now, so I don't really look for 'em anymore. But those Stetson 100 cases are nice. Imahomer, believe it or not, I don't care too much if my vintage stuff gets banged up. It...
