    New Stetson label - to remove or not remove?

    My personal preference would be to take it off if it's easy to do. I wouldn't want to do any damage, but it looks like it's tacked on behind the bow, so anything minor would be hidden.

    Are you upset they put that wide ribbon on it? What kind of mandolins do you have?

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Allow me to introduce The Stratoliter: Lightweight sahara, 2 3/8" brim with underwelt (idea stolen from St. Ignatz). I've long wanted a Stratoliner, and finally came across a beauty that was simply too big for me. It now sits on the noggin of our own RBH. The proceeds of...

    Borsalino hat mystery, or, Does Borsalino Do Rayon?

    ^Thanks for the link. For reference, the relevant post by Besdor is below. He describes the USA made Borsalinos as "stiffer", which is certainly not the case with this one. The felt is super soft/floppy. And as noted, this has "Made in Italy" on both sweatband and liner.

    Borsalino hat mystery, or, Does Borsalino Do Rayon?

    Arriving in the mail today were two modern Borsalinos I bought for good price. One of them has me greatly puzzled. It's a floppy Alessandria with (what seems to me) the correct markings. This sticker--the same style is on the other Borsalino I received--is stuck to the hat...

    Question on Panama hat sizing, (Brent Black?)

    ^I think a BB Panama thread is an excellent idea. Will posted about his recent--somewhat mixed--experience with BB at A Suitable Wardrobe today. Apparently you don't get a hat box?

    Men's DRESS BOOTS to suit all budgets.

    Perhaps not a "dress" boot, but I figured you'd like them, anyway. Alden Jumper Boots from Leather Soul Beverly Hills:

    "Pockets on a Polo Coat"

    A "proper" polo coat should have patch/envelope pockets. I think that's the right way to go.
