Which custom hatter?
For me, I made my early decisions based on research on this forum. Price was a factor, but so was positive word of mouth. I narrowed it down to two members here, Steve of Adventurebilt (who had a lower price and more styles back then) and Art Fawcett. By happy accident, there was a...- Not-Bogart13

self-concious in my fedora
That advice is best tailored to your local environment and the kind of people they appear to be. There are high school kids out this way that you only look in the eye if you want trouble. I think it's important to remember that your earlier brush with ridicule, while not the norm, has made...- Not-Bogart13

Looking for a hat....
Yeah, I've seen those around. I wouldn't steam it. I don't know how you want the brim to look, but if you just shape it with you hands and "play with it" from time to time, it may slowly conform. Those are great little casual toppers. I usually see them in the men's section, but I think...- Not-Bogart13

Indy jacket: Wested vs. Gibson & Barnes/lfightsuits
lol lol lol lol And I have never had a problem with them, service-wise or jacket wise. :eusa_doh: I actually recommend US Wings frequently, especially if you run on the larger size. But I do know that some have there problems. Maybe it an astrological thing or something? Taurus should...- Not-Bogart13

Indy jacket: Wested vs. Gibson & Barnes/lfightsuits
Being a daily COW poster myself, I can honestly say that this was a common problem for some time. But Peter finally put his foot down and said that "custom" referred to the options that he offered, not to all those exacting details. It has cut down on the nit-picking this past year. But I...- Not-Bogart13

Is This cravat too BIG
I know nothing about ascots and cravats. But that thing is serious overkill. It looks to me like something that somebody without any class would wear to convince others he had class. [huh] Sorry if that's harsh.- Not-Bogart13

how much do you spend on tailoring
I'm one of those people that has no choice but to get every suit, blazer, and dress trouser altered (short legs, short arms :rage: ). When I buy anything, I automatically add the tailor's bill in my head. If I don't feel that the item is worth that much, I don't buy it. If it's vintage, or...- Not-Bogart13

Indy jacket: Wested vs. Gibson & Barnes/lfightsuits
There's no denying, Wested is the "original," and high quality. But that doesn't necessarily make it the best option in all cases. And as far as money goes, I read about a LOT of returns and exchanges of Wested over at COW. Wested doesn't cover that cost, and some people have paid $700+ all...- Not-Bogart13

What grey is more versatile?
You may not think it matters to you, but it matters. Versatility can have a great deal to do with subtle undertones and trim color. For example, both light and dark grays can have a very blue undertone, or could be more earthy. The ribbon choice will accentuate or downplay such "subtleties,"...- Not-Bogart13

leather jackets
Leather popularity seems to have it's highs and lows. I think younger people are spending more money on the so-called "essential gadgets" that modern life shoves at them; iPods, the latest camera phones, etc. And fewer of them are content with the lower priced clothing brands anymore. Thus...- Not-Bogart13

Opinions on this suit, please...
I like it. It says vintage, but avoids that terribly dated look that most 70's stuff has. I especially like the vest. I think it'll work on it's own as well.- Not-Bogart13

Tom, I am slack-jawed. That is a beauty. Way to go, Art! :eusa_clap It looks like the top of the front got bumped out in shipping, though. But I either way, stunning.- Not-Bogart13

If money were no object.....
If money is no object, and I'm limited to one choice - Art Fawcett, no question, and I'd give him complete and total freedom to create. If I could get multiples, I'd have at least one of every color felt Art offers! And at least one wide brimmed pork pie among them.- Not-Bogart13
