    Hey, at least he doesn't starch his shoes.

    Fitting matters

    If you think function should play second fiddle to form, great. But pockets, if they're there, ought to be used. Or at least usable.

    Eddie Schmidt, Hollywood's tailor.

    According to one book, Gable was a Brooks Brothers man.

    1920s Panama + Art Fawcett

    Argh. I so wanted to bid on that hat. It looks great on you, Marc!

    Preppy is not 1930's

    I find it interesting that Europeans have this understanding about Americans, because the vast majority of men I see in suits and dress trousers wear them far too long.

    DB jacket project

    Good luck. I'd expect a jacket that big to be too large for you in the shoulders, no matter how much you wrap it around. Let's see pictures when you're done!

    What Are You Reading

    Just finished Warhorse, by Timothy Zahn. Now reading The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club, by Dorothy Sayers. I'm trying to work through all her Lord Peter novels chronologically. School is starting next week, though, so I'll be "et up" with assigned reading for a while.

    Double-breasted question.

    Not at all. I'm right-handed, and I use my right hand to fasten the buttons. The outside ones, anyway. I still haven't become very adept at fastening the inner one on a DB jacket.

    Double-breasted question.

    For men's jackets, the standard (from the wearer's perspective) is left over right. Right over left is for women. Since many Ebay sellers are women, they often close them backwards when they're taking pictures.

    Father of the bride - outdoor wedding.

    Many or most weddings are also religious ceremonies. In the West, at least, it's polite for men to remove their hats for ceremonies like that.

    There should be

    Waterproof? Last time I checked, most electronics aren't waterproof. And I can operate my Razr just fine with one hand.

    Father of the bride - outdoor wedding.

    Generally, one doesn't wear a hat during the ceremony itself, because they normally take place indoors where men are supposed to remove their hats. However, it's great to have a hat as an accessory to wear at other times before and after the ceremony. Andykev loaned me his top hat to wear on...

    I thought hacking jackets would have had center vents, given their equestrian origins. Not so?

    Cool (But Sold) eBay Stuff

    Somebody convinced the old coot to stop wearing bespoke, which was a bad move. Now his collars go floating around so far behind him they enter the room half a minute after he does.

    Think it's a 44" or 48" chest?

    What are you wearing today??

    Yes, congratulations--one of the most revolting things I've ever seen. It could only possibly be worse if you had some loud Windsor-esque plaid trousers on as well.

    Vintage removeable collar question...

    If you live in the US, have a 16" or 16.5" neck, and are interested in buying a stiff collar or two, send me a PM. I'm planning to put in an order to Luke Eyres soon, and looking to split the minimum order of 6 with some people to defray costs.
