    Seeking Sweater style name

    No. I mean a bigger version of the collar in the picture. So, if I close it all the way to the top, I'd look like a very warm but silly ninja. :D

    Some Advice Needed Please

    Since you live in the area of Mr. Utz, I must agree that you head there. Take the jacket of the suit with you, and maybe the tie or ties you're likely to wear. That will allow you to see all the colors together, especially if you put them on while trying hats. Personally, for that suit, I...

    Seeking Sweater style name

    OK, no doubt most have seen cardigan sweaters like these; http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?categoryId=51724&storeId=1&catalogId=1&langId=-1&from=SR&feat=sr Now imagine it with a more generously sized collar. That's what I'm looking for. Would that collar have...

    AUCTION #131: Schoble - Supreme - XXXX - Size 7 1/2 - C0000228855 - SOLD

    Congratulations, Daizawaguy! If it's anything like the one I so briefly possessed, it will find a very special place in your collection. Alas, I did not bid, for I have far too many dark brown on dark brown lids as it is. But at least I have a replacement for the Lee Trinity on my wish...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    He just told me it was a c-crown bash. If you ask him now, he might remember which specific block he used.

    Distinctive ribbon color question

    I think that when you dress it's ties the outfit together if there are accessories that match. With the hats, I enjoy matching the ribbon to something, but if you match the felt, that's fine. The easiest solution is a pocket square or tie, and the match does not have to be exact. Just...

    Looking for that first hat

    I find Stetsons run pretty close to true on the numbered sizes, so makes sense. Did you see a style you liked at Dillards? In terms of brims, crown heights and shapes, etc. Stetson makes a great gray called Caribou for many of their models. Moonstone is probably what you'd want in an Akubra...

    Looking for that first hat

    If you get the actual measurement of your head, try to find a sizing chart for the manufacturer of the specific hat you want, such as on their website. There can be slight differences from time to time. Also, prepare yourself for an early error or two. You might have to exchange your first...

    Black, Brown or Gray? -- Universality

    I love gray, and I have many gray hats. It is true that some grays don't work together, but it's rare. The main problem is that a dark gray fedora with a bluish undertone can be very hard to "dress down" so watch out for that. Medium grays, like Granite and such, are the most universal.

    NEWS BOY CAPS

    I think it has a great deal to do with how you put it on, how you wear it, and the size/shape of your head. Some people have a higher "crown" which will take up some of the slack in the cap. Others, not as much. Still, I've seen a full cut in person, and on somebody with a very high head...

    Johnnyphi Schobel listed on the Bay!

    You got lucky. I had to leave the house today on an unavoidable errand, so I stopped at the PO earlier than I expected. I would say give it 10 business days, or there abouts. You're gonna love this hat. It was painful to send it away. :(

    My latest Art Fawcett acquisition

    I've learned a great deal about myself during my hat-wearing years. At this point, I don't buy a hat unless I know I'd wear it often. This hat will be worn plenty. I wore it to the grocery store today. I have other stand-out lids that have also seen that store. I know I will have moods...

    Brim Shaping

    Try this; Hold the brim with both hands at about 5 and 7 o'clock. Waggle the hat up and down, letting the weight of it snap and unsnap the brim over and over again. Do it about 10 times and then see how the snap looks. Repeat the process a few times if desired. Sometimes all it takes is a...
