    Naptha

    My quick and dirty method for dealing with a sweat-stained ribbon is simply to wet down the entire ribbon with my handy squirt bottle. It seems to remove the little watermarks. I'm sure it doesn't really get rid of the stain, but it evens out the color.

    Pull out the Tuxedos

    I wonder if my toppers would look out of place with a DB peak lapel tuxedo. I'm definitely planning on acquiring a proper evening tail coat, but I'd like a nice dinner jacket as well.

    White tie and tails!

    Got the hat, working on the white tie and tails, and I'll worry about where I'll wear 'em later. :)

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    Every picture I upload there gives me a completely different set of "celebrities." Garbage in, garbage out.

    Mia Borsalino

    My Open Road is quite soft, although since it has such a crisp Cattleman's crease I haven't tried to reshape it. I don't know how old it it, but here are the logos inside:

    Gentlemen's Shoes

    Dang, they're not in California yet. I have big ol' feet, and you know what they say about guys with big feet... They need big shoes. :)

    Health Insurance Rates?

    What I'm really looking into are those new Health Savings Accounts (HSA) that work like an IRA with the addition of a high deductible (and therefore inexpensive) health insurance plan. I could take care of my lack of a retirement plan and my lack of health insurance in one stroke. I guess I...

    Just bumpin' an old thread, since I have the hat and now need to dig up the rest of the ensemble.

    Formal Wear Primer

    Any good sources for made-to-measure tail coats? I haven't the jack for true bespoke, and I'm too big for off-the-rack. Also, I noticed the evening tail coats in the 1997 movie Titanic didn't have the same kind of cutaway that you see nowadays. Like this...

    Got my Top Hat...

    Barber Shops

    Occupations

    I drove up and down the Hamakua Coast a lot in the late 1970s when I went to school at HPA in Kamuela and lived in Kurtistown in the Puna district. Very beautiful country. And dangit, now I'm hungry for some malasadas from Tex Drive In. lol

    Dambusting film photo clinched..

    To be fair to the makers of the original movie, the exact shape of the bomb was still classified when the movie was made. ;)
