    A List of Quality Haberdashers

    A haberdasher might sell hats, but a hat shop is not necessarily a haberdasher. A haberdashery in the US frequently refers to a store selling men's accessories but, in the UK, might carry buttons, ribbons or even small home furnishings or accessories.

    Is the glass half empty or half full?

    If the staff are doing their jobs, never less than half full.

    "How Could You?"

    I can't understand how anyone could give up their dogs either, much less give them up to a shelter. We lost one of our dogs a few weeks ago after a long stuggle with several health issues. Max was with us for more than twelve years and we still can't get used to him not being here when we...

    Bicycle Helmet?!

    Just my two cents - I would contact my local equestrian supply shop, or look around for a bowler with the webbing used for dressage - they still make some top hats this way as well. In addition to being hard, the webbing or large adjustable leather sweat band helps cushion your fall. Many have...

    Opera, anyone?

    I love opera, and I think the Saturday afternoon Met performances on TV are terrific. They are an easy way to introcude some of my friends to the Opera without having to spend a lot on tickets. Our parents introduced us when we were quite young and it was a regular "home from school" ritual...

    Why are the rich so cheap?

    I guess it's my turn to poke a stick in the hornets' nest. I grew up with many very wealthy people and I have to say that the cheap/stingy one's were the exception to the rule. But for the generosity of these people to organizations like Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York, I would not have...

    Stars Line Up For Vanity Fair Film Noir PhotoShoot -Merged thread

    Thank you. I wonder if the silence after those first few posts means that others were not terribly impressed. I rather liked the shoot.

    What do you do for Living?

    What's my job? I would have to say - quite boring. My calling is to be known as a patron of the arts and to become a member of the Grolier Club for my (still in the works) library / book collection.

    NR Davis Side-By-Side Shotguns - Advise?

    I'll be up at Minuteman on Sunday and will ask whether anyone there is familar with these guns. We have a few real "sweet sixteen" enthusiasts that might have some additional information. I've been shooting registered skeet for the past twelve plus years and rarely get out my one remaining...

    Stars Line Up For Vanity Fair Film Noir PhotoShoot -Merged thread

    Vanity Fair March 2007 - Film Noir shoot Did anyone see the March 2007 issue of Vanity Fair? I was browsing in the barber shop today while waiting and found a photo shoot that is a tribute to 1940s film noir. What do others think? I quite liked some of the hats, clothing and photographs...

    NR Davis Side-By-Side Shotguns - Advise?

    Scotrace, Do you have the particular models? I am not familiar with this particular maker. Hopefully the following will help. Here is some basic info about the company and a link to Gabel Guns, a shop specializing in firearms produced prior to 1898. They have a bulletin board with quite...

    My Art Fawcett Panama - With Pride

    Beautiful hat! Now I can't wait until Derby Day. This is generally the first day each year when I get out my (second) favourite panama. I still haven't found one quite like my first - it was an extremely fine soft panama I could not afford to replace even if I found another of that quality...

    Bronx River Beaver

    There seem to be quite a few of our hawks down around Wall Street. My stepfather used to have one nesting outside his office window. Occasionally he had to close the blinds so particularly sensitive clients did not see the hawk eating lunch...
