    Hair cuts

    Me too, actually. I'm wondering that if these men did not apply products to their hair, their hair would look curly or very wavy? I'm under the assumption that pomade and hair oil products can control these hair textures and make them somewhat straighter, like in the pictures of the gentlemen above.

    Black Sheep Hat Works

    There are nice hats in this thread for sure, but I'm not going to lie; on the Black Sheep website, I'm really liking the looks of the Watcher and Shakedown models. I would prefer a lower crown though than 4 3/4 inches. Can they make adjustments to their displayed models in such a way?

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    If you'd want to wear that style of suit, I'd recommend that you try to "transition" yourself into wearing it, so that it looks less, for lack of a better word, weird. People will eventually get used to the idea of you wearing one sometimes (if it is sometimes, just initially). When you get a...

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    Maybe this has been brought up before, but we're probably very fortunate to live in times where staunch conservatism in style is no longer entirely necessary. In the current decade, and the last for example, there's this mentality that just about anything's alright to wear (however ridiculous it...

    Hair cuts

    I guess so, as I've got very straight hair. Anyway, I was under the impression that Elvis did have straight, "fine" hair, according to an interview with his hairdresser, Larry Geller. I think by the point of that picture, '68, he was already styling Elvis' hair too. You're probably right about...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Wow, thanks. That's one brand I didn't look into yet. Unfortunately, they're a bit more out of my price range than I feel comfortable at the moment. I might just go with the Christy's. It's still close enough to the Bond hat, no? I wish they offered that particular Bates hat in a darker, almost...

    Hair cuts

    Hmm, I was looking at a 1968 photograph of Elvis Presley... Any idea how to achieve this look? I think I may have to grow my hair a little longer, but would a product like Brylcreem or Royal Crown Pomade help a bit to get that center parted look with the front hairs combed to the sides? It looks...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Yes, I think it's a nice one in that scene, and I'm pretty sure it's basically the same hat (maybe a couple of other different colors?) throughout the first four or five Bond films. I'm almost certain I could pull off the narrow-brim trilby look, and I've always liked James Bond's hats, whenever...

    Akubra Overload

    While I don't doubt that there have been some Australians buying Stetson hats at some point, I'm not sure if there are that many. Chances are, Australians that know about Akubra will probably think that their hats are of better quality compared to Stetson felt, but I'm not sure if too many know...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    OK guys, I've got a hat related question, here. If I'm after a narrow brim trilby/fedora in this particular style: Will this hat, the Sportsman by Christy's of London be a reasonably accurate facsimile of Sean Connery's hat? I'd like your opinion on that, as I may be ordering a...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    I still cannot bring myself to go out and buy an actual trench coat, for some reason. I must have a rather ridiculous impression that I'm too young or young looking to be wearing one. I do admire those that can wear one in any serious context, though. I am going to want to invest in my own...

    Over the top at the royal wedding

    Even if he wasn't actually wearing the top hat, there's something about carrying a hat that can look very stylish. See some of the photographs of President Kennedy, for example; he carried a fedora more than he wore one, but something about that still exhibited style.

    When does the "Golden Era" start and end for you?

    My 20th century interests mainly lie within the early to mid century, that being from roughly the World War I (or Great War if you prefer) period, through the actual "Golden Era" (1930s, 1940s), and up to the late 1960s, or early 1970s. Obviously, "Golden Era" hardly applies to the latter I've...

    Most hats in one year

    Gee, the most I ever got in one year was just two. I may consider slowing down, if not completely stopping my build-up, on my hat collection once I have about five or six fur felt hats total. So far I have two hats that I'd mainly wear for hiking or being outdoors (one of which is my serious...

    just ordered a Knightsbridge in the color of Cork...

    Hmm, is there an alternative place to get those colors, now? Seeing as I'm also considering the peatwood like I was talking about (and that was supposed to be my very next hat), I'm wondering if there's another online shop. When looking for the Sportsman model on the net, most shops just stock...

    Hair cuts

    How much pomade a day do you use, exactly? I'm a "little dab" sort, myself, sometimes a little more than that too. When I style my hair like a pompadour, I use a fair amount of the Royal Crown, just a bit of Dax, and occasionally a little bit of Brylcreem. When I'm after a less "wet look," I'll...

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    Well my apologies for disappointing you, but this summer, I might just let it go for a while, until next fall. ;) To be frank, when I get into university, I'm going to want to look and feel more professional, so adjustments will be made where I feel they're appropriate. Back to the whole...

    American shoe company upswing

    Occasionally, I consider someday investing for myself a pair of Aldens or Allen Edmonds, but I don't have the funds right now. Would you say that shoes of that caliber, being very expensive, are actually worth the cost? They are elegant, and hopefully stylish depending on the pair, but is this...

    Pomade

    The same thing happens to me, actually. Maybe it's normal when using pomade or oil based products, but today I didn't have anything up there, and my parents almost didn't recognize me when we met at my campus' administration building. It was just parted off-center towards the left, and swayed to...

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    Sure will, eventually! I've got them trimmed just a tad, a week ago, so they're not as "shaggy" as they were, maybe another week or two, I'll post. I plan on consistently growing them throughout the summer, maybe even a beard, too. I'm not sure if I'll keep the latter when I get into my...
