    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    In that picture above, I think the two keepers are front-center (the Mallory, gray, sort of narrow Playboy-type ribbon) and far rear-right (BB-Locke, heavy felt with sewn over welt, liner has gone missing). Trying to figure out creasing currently.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    The box with this bunch finally showed up today. I think two of the hats will work for me, including--amazingly enough--the one I was really taking a gamble on: the Brooks Brothers hat. He gave no size for it, but it turns out to be a 7 3/8 and actually fits (once owned by someone named 'Ken')...

    Evolution of Colonial English Accents - Australia and New Zealand

    That's one I've heard all my life in the Southern US, although the "blunt" part wasn't used that I recall.

    Evolution of Colonial English Accents - Australia and New Zealand

    Yes, that, too. American as well as Canadian, although those began earlier than Australia, et al. I think it's fascinating linguistically. Cleanth Brooks did a little book on the relation of the Southern American dialect to provincial English accents that was quite interesting. I have it...

    Stetson Sovereign (WITH PICS)

    I understand your mixed feelings about creasing it. As I've thought about it in the past, I think it's the right thing to go ahead and use it. You are someone who knows and appreciates what it is. The counter-argument would be that you have enough hats to get you by now and would rather have it...

    Briefcases

    ^Most of the Classic Luggage offerings are English made, and thus relatively more expensive due to the exchange rate. You are also getting a more...refined bag, I suppose one would say. From the pictures I have seen they are more aesthetically pleasing than the Custom Hide bags. From the reviews...

    Evolution of Colonial English Accents - Australia and New Zealand

    Fascinating. I've wondered about the development of the various English colonial accents

    Do you own a Tux?

    There's no such thing as gray houndstooth tuxedo pants. They could possibly be morning trousers, in which case you could wear them with a morning jacket (unlikely to need to) or use them for a stroller. Your best course is simply to treat them as odd trousers to wear with a sportcoat or sweater.

    You have to use a url that ends in ".jpg". What you give above would work as a link to the hats. Or simply copy and paste the IMG Code Photobucket provides:

    Optimo south side mobsters

    Great photos, and some nice creasing inspirations, too. Graham seems to be partial to the center dent.
