    Help ID fur of Cavanaugh w/ Cav Edge - new acquisition

    Hello All, I recently purchased this Cavanaugh in a very soft fur - much softer that any sheared beaver hats I own. The seller was not certain what fur was used. The hat is a dark chestnut brown with a lighter streak above the hatband. It is finished with a Cavanagh Edge. I love this new...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Bright Young Things Just watching Bright Young Things and besides enjoying the movie I'm dying to find out who made, where to find, the very dark brown velvet finish fedora that Miles wears to the race track. I also really like the wardrobes in this movie.

    bye bye television!

    I'm glad to see I'm not alone in this. I did without for two years before my family "convinced" me that I should give in a buy a TV. It's been several months now that I have a TV and cable and I'm seriously considering cancelling my service - the cable modem is nice but programming and...

    Beware of Sheer Sweaters

    MK, Thank you. Thinking back on sweaters and sweater vests I have owned, you seem to have identified a challenge that I had never put in words. Part of my preference for waistcoats is that they are opaque and, on me at least, tend to stay in place better. I do very much like the look and...

    Curtains for the Necktie?

    I don't know that I see the total demise of the necktie, magazines and newspapers seem to make these (and opposing) declarations every so often. I can however confirm that there will be one person wearing bowtie or ascot on a regular basis during my lifetime.

    Do you buy organic?

    I buy local or organic where possible. There is quite a lot of debate over the health benefits but, in some narrow examples certain benefits have been demonstrated (i.e. commercially produced Florida oranges measuring vitamin C in micrograms while organic producers in the same state have...

    Non-traditional engagement rings

    I know this is a bit late but, the subject is one that interests me. The "tradition" of the diamond engagement ring is largely the result of a very clever marketing campaign by DeBeers. Prior to the 1940's there were a wide variety of engagement rings - variations on the eternity ring, promise...

    Men's Bear Fur Hat. Aargh - should have "bought it now"

    I am certain someone more knowledgeable than myself will know how long they have been in use in Asia (quite a long time, I believe) but, I do know that Winston Churchill was sometimes seen wearing a Persian Lambswool hat that you can find listed these days as an Ambassador or Envoy hat. I have...

    Men's Bear Fur Hat. Aargh - should have "bought it now"

    I should have used the buy it now feature. Someone beat me to this bear fur hat that sounded like it would fit. Now it's back to searching for persian lamb in similar proportions - and, if possible, similar price...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Secret Agent based on the Conrad novel. It has been quite some time since we read Conrad so I can't say much about the adaptation. I did however, enjoy the movie.

    What are your sartorial guilty pleasures?

    Tough one, some people might say it's my bow ties and ascots or too many hats (ask my girlfriend). However, what most don't see are the silk undergarments... Fine silk woven to stretch and breathe is comfortable in any weather.
