    Another Vintage Borsalino. Opinions..?

    The hat looks great. You're lucky the hat was still there after 4 months.

    Drunken hat grabbing minors...

    Makes you regret the days when real gentlemen not only wore a hat, but also carried a sword.

    Lock & Co.

    This is exactly the point of my original question. I wanted to know if they buy the felt elsewhere and block and finish the hat themselves, which is OK, or if they buy the hats ready-made and ready-blocked and sell them at a premium. That's why I asked earlier: It could have been the...

    What happened!

    See the "What Happened?" thread below. Another weird thing: the above post and this one were part of another thread, and they are now merged into this one.

    Dobbs 5th Ave -Stingy Brim

    If I remember well, most of the replies suggested a vintage Hawaian shirt with the hat. I think that a white short-sleeve shirt would work too, untucked and with 4 pockets, like the one the Fuentes always wear in cigar ads. It's a common shirt in Latin America.

    What to do about soggy cornflakes?

    After some research, it turns out there are Czech cornflakes, and they're called "Emco", not "Kubflacz", as previously thought. From the "Prague Tribune": "About 10 years ago Emco introduced a Czech name for cornflakes - now the company holds 35% of the local market". For the whole...

    What to do about soggy cornflakes?

    Kubflacz, the notorious Czech cubic cornflakes.

    What happened!

    Yes, everything I posted today is gone. I have to retype my funny post about Czech cornflakes.

    For 1 pound 60 each.

    What to do about soggy cornflakes?

    They've taken over that too? If the Czechs would make cornflakes, they would make them shaped like cubes.

    Lock never made the hats themselves. See above my post about hatters vs. hatmakers. The difference is that the hats used to be made by hatmakers in England, and now the hats are made in a Czech factory.

    Lock & Co.

    So in the bowler/derby story, Coke was the customer, Lock was the hatter, and the Bowler brothers were the hatmakers. The hat is still called a coke hat by Lock. Soon to be available at Lock and Co., London.

    Lock & Co.

    Bad for me, because I don't want to pay 160 pounds + 37% tax just to wear a Czech hat. The appeal of Lock is that it's British, was founded in 1676, made hats for Nelson and Wellington, it's got the tradition. I would pay a high price for that. But that image does not fit with a hat made in...

    What to do about sloppy dress?

    If people would only wear what's on display in the stores, it wouldn't be that bad. I always wonder when I see store displays and people passing in front of them, at the difference between how badly the people are dressed compared to the display windows of stores. I wonder who buys all those...

    Lock & Co.

    The difference between "hatters" and "hatmakers": hatters, like Lock, buy their hats from a hatmaker, who makes the hats, and then sell them to customers. Since hats came open-crowned from a hatmaker, the hatter's job was to fit the hat for the customer and style it to the customer's liking...

    Where's Josh???? Out of the Humidor

    I smoked a "Por Larranaga" petit corona for the first time and I liked it so-so. It's got a sweet and mild flavour reminiscent of honey-caramel with a hint of walnuts. Perfect for those who like light cigars, but missing the strength usually associated with Cuban cigars.

    Ditto, although the propeller may be outsourced.
