In a departure -- my new (old) Frenchie hat...
Swell! With the brim snapped up like in the e-bay picture, it looks like what Gene Hackman was wearing in "The French Connection". -

Where do you wear yours?
Both sides were bad. Hemingway said in 1938 that he was disgusted with both sides, and he used to be on the Republican side. Franco's side was called fascist, just as the republican side was called Red, but Franco's side included the monarchists, army officers, the clergy, landowners and... -

Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!
Good trench coats at reasonable prices are difficult to find. Not many makers; there's Burberry's (overpriced and of dubious quality). Try getting a used one at a thrift shop. I got mine like that for something like 20-30$. Also, e-bay.- geo

Where do you wear yours?

Where do you wear yours?
Often restaurant staff wear the wrong clothes, like black tie at lunchtime. I think this has contributed to the decline of black tie, since it's perceived as a waiter's uniform, or as what the orchestra wears. -

The shoes are custom-made, so I guess anything goes. Apart from pink shoes, there's also a pair of nice two-tone spectators, where the white part seems to be suede.http://www.marcguyot.com/5.aspx -

Trilby vs. Fedora
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the difference between the two is that a trilby has a tapered crown, whereas a fedora has an untapered crown, which looks square when viewed from the front. Also, a trilby has a narrower brim. Did I get that right?
