    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    I think that the last maker has a task similar to that of the 'cutter' who makes the pattern in tailoring. An initial last/pattern is made using the customer's measurements and subsequent fittings serve to tweak the last/pattern until it results in a proper fit. For me, that's the art of...

    Orvis Caldo Panama $44.40 all sizes as of 8/19 one more week

    BTW, I actually own that same hat. I bought it a few years ago in London at a shop called Eco-Age. It's branded Pachacuti but it's the exact same hat. A decent lid; firm but not stiff, with a back woven brim, grosgrain sweatband and a simple ribbon. I think I paid around $100.

    Functionally speaking: The minor damage that you now have or the fix required if the leather continues to tear will not really have an adverse affect on the wearability of the shoe. Aesthetically speaking: There are gents who would shy away from wearing shoes showing damage or an obvious...

    Vintage shoe store.

    In the same vein, there was a story in the news recently of a long shuttered car dealership that was autioning off its 50+ year old inventory of "new" cars.

    Anyone else looking forward to sweater weather?

    I know, it's depressing to even think about "it." ;)

    Anyone else looking forward to sweater weather?

    Fall is my absolute favorite season but my enjoyment of it is always tempered by the realization that winter is near. My disdain for winter has more to do with the dearth of sunlight and lack of vegetation than the actual elements, which I often find invigorating.

    Deadstock 1930's Two-Tone Wool Halfbelt

    I wonder how the folks in Sheboygan who made the coat would react to the $2k price tag.

    Vintage Suitings: Discussions of, and sourcing modern equivalents, etc.

    Yes, you are wrong. There are many oldtime cloth merchants who will say that the high end stuff available today is superior in quality to the best from the days of yore. Now, comparisons of aesthetics and weight are another story.....;)

    Oxford Bags
