To black tie or not to black tie
I see your point, 59Lark. Styles change and evolve--which is fortunate for otherwise we'd all still be wearing togas! Each generation in recent history has become more casual than the last. No-one can change the trend. I would hope, though, that the current trend for truely outrageous... -
To black tie or not to black tie
Yes, you're right of course. I don't mean to say black-tie is Anglophile's only option; there is a whole range of perfectly acceptable attire from which he can choose. I rather got the impression that he wanted to wear black-tie, and I don't think there's any reason why he shouldn't other... -
Opinions & dating on this suit
That looks like a nice suit and a great deal for what you paid. In my experience, simply wearing clothes that fit correctly will give an instant vintage look, even more than smaller details you might add. I've seen photos and ads from the 30s and 40s of suits with and without button-holes... -

Post New Hats Here!
New Knox 20 for Christmas The last few hats I've won on eBay have been duds, but I've just received this little gem which makes up for the all the disappointments. It is in unworn condition, has a Cavanagh edge, and fits really well. Though it was smashed pretty flat by the postal services... -

Saks Fifth Ave. Cavanagh edge, 2" brim Travelling by train with my wife and son. We had a three-hour stopover in Paris, enough time for lunch and a little walk around. Here are my wife and I at the Gare du Nord train station (photo taken by our five-year-old son): Outside the Gare de... -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
I took a walk around the town where we live, Amiens, with my wife and our son. Amiens is about 70 miles north of Paris. I wore my vintage Dobbs: The Christmas market downtown Jules Verne's house, where he wrote his greatest books (now a museum) A few blocks away is the house where... -

Don't try to spare my feelings, what do you really think? :) It is unfortunate, but you're right. I'll go put my Campdraft back on now... -

I recently won this Stetson on Ebay. Nice enough quality, but I think the crown is too low for my taste: -
Christy's Homburg in Light Grey
LordBest, that's a beautiful color. Thanks for showing pictures of your hat. It looks great on you! (Is that a light gray, or more of a charcoal?) -

HAT ADORNMENTS: ribbons, bows, pins, pugs, leather, etc.
I've just gotten a new pin from Ebay as well: I promptly put it on my Campdraft: And here it is on me; this is as close as my 7 5/8 extra long oval head will probably ever get to a Stratoliner: -

The pocket square should harmonize with the nose, but not match exactly. -

Great hats everyone! Knox 1 5/8" brim, black: (My nose is red because I have a cold. Really!) -
Miller's Douglas Dress Hat
I've had my eye on those as well. I ordered a similar hat from them a couple of years ago (same dimensions, different bash and wider ribbon) and was a bit disappointed in the quality of the felt, which is surprising considering that their in-house brand is made by Biltmore. The hat looked nice... -
