Rare, Weird 1934 Fedora
P.S. I think I might like one just for the novelty. -
Rare, Weird 1934 Fedora
Tsk tsk - those of us in the leisure suit crowd may be quite happy to find such a plaid chapeau. ;) -
What have I got here?
Unfortunately I can't answer your question, but I will say that I was watching that lot hoping the same thing. At the last minute I convinced myself that they would be too large for me... Sarah has been reminiding me that I need to keep the hat shoppping under control, especially after she... -
What Is The Strangest Thing You've Ever Seen?
Strangest / Scariest After arriving in Algiers I got on the bus to the University for an appointment at the library. The stop after I got on, several men in balaclava with automatic weapons got on the bus in back and in front. There was surprisingly little reaction. Two stops later they got...- vonwotan

Chumleys - NY Speakeasy Institution Near Death
That really is sad. When I came home from boarding school I finished up at a school in the East Village. At least once or twice per week we would go to Chumleys to do homework in the old booths, and being familiar faces, had quite a few pitchers with the lobster specials (order one get the...- vonwotan

Let's See Your Vintage Inspired Office!
My ideal office would be the lavender fields at the Abbey Notre-Dame de S?©nanque in Gordes, France. I might go inside from time to time in winter, but otherwise I would like to work outdoors.- vonwotan

The future of style.
That's one I keep meaning to rent. I caught part of the movie while visiting friends, but we left for dinner after about twenty minutes of watching with their nephew... Soma, Prozium, there have been a few others - many "distopian (?)" films that have dealt with the suppression of emotion... -
Finally, a hat that suits my face correctly.

New Whippet
Johnnysan, Great hat and great dogs. I've raised and guided hunts with Weimaraners for a little over twelve years but love our friends' whippets. We are currently considering a whippet companion for our Weim bitch Heidi. We lost our other guy recently so she's been a bit down... -
The future of style.
Proceed with caution - rant ahead Given the outfits I see around town, I believe your uniforms may have too much detail and design. Sadly, the lemming like drive to be like everyone else (or at the least, not to stand out), taken to its extreme makes me think of Huxley's Brave New World. I... -

Planting from Seeds
I envy you all the opportunity to grow vegetables, fruits or herbs. My garden had limited sunlight so I spent a number of years cultivating various New England native wildflowers and other perennials. I never did attempt to grow the various Cyprepediums from seed, for many this can be an eight...- vonwotan

Allen Edmonds:How many??
For many years now I have worn AE almost exclusively. Unfortunately, after discontinuing my size they added a hefty $100 surcharge to have shoes made in my size, and seem to have reduced the number of narrow lasts that were available in 6C. So after much debate, I have just orderd some Alden...- vonwotan

Suit etiquette: What would you do?
I think you reactied in much the way I would - had the urge to point out / fix the problem but hesitated. I would hesitate to point things out these days because I seem to be completely out of touch with fashion and what is fashionable. Recently someone posted photos from fashion week and the... -
The Business Drone...
+1 A well cut grey flannel suit with nice styling IMHO is timeless and allows more than enough leeway for personal style.
