    The Mad Hatter bank robber

    There's a serial bank robber operating in New Jersey that has been nicknamed the "Mad Hatter," because he wears a different "hat" (cap) every time he knocks over a bank. He's taken over $60,000 so far. http://www.amw.com/fugitives/case.cfm?id=43932

    Glass bead cuff links?

    Depends on what the beads look like. I would not wear matching cufflinks and tie bar. Could you use two beads connected by a chain?

    Jewellery, gents?

    I have a plain ol' yellow gold wedding band, but my brother-in-law wears one that's titanium or tungsten--something exotic and very hard. He's tough on his things, so he went for a band that would be more durable than gold, which is easy to smash, bend, or scratch.

    Show us your suits

    Nice suit! Definitely leave that bottom button undone, though, when it gets to you. The way the pattern changes direction and points at the crotch in that picture indicates it's cut with open quarters and the bottom one isn't meant to be fastened.

    Collar Bars

    I got mine (a safety-pin lookalike that clips on) at J. Press here in DC. That and a small independent menswear shop are the only places I've seen them.

    Going to Washington, DC in April - Hat store suggestions?

    Ditto what Barry said. I'll just add that when I've been in the Dupont Proper Topper (once or twice), they haven't had much to speak of. Not much worth considering, anyway, except some $100+ Stetsons with stingyish brims and very stiff felt.

    Allen Edmonds:How many??

    Park Avenue in black, brown, and merlot Lloyd in merlot Westgate in brandy Plus one or two other Ebay busts that I've thrown out. All mine are secondhand, acquired from Ebay or thrift stores.

    Allen Edmonds sole repair??

    This has happened to me on several pairs of AEs--the sole has just gotten worn down to nothing in the middle. The only solution is to have them resoled. You can have half soles put on them, where they cut the sole just forward of the waist and replace the front half. I've had half soles and...

    Belted Back Suit Heaven ! Nathan Marsak’s Collection.

    You never realize something isn't sticky anymore until you go to find it... Saw this family photo posted by Tourbillion over in the display case, and the suit vaguely reminded me of the jazz suit here from Marsak's collection. A really toned-down version. Well, maybe it's a stretch.

    The QUALITY of 1937 Sears suits !

    That photo would be more helpful if the wind weren't blowing his trousers and making them look like parachute pants.

    "new" Florsheim 2-tones

    Nice shoes, Duck. They are indeed spectators, just cap-toe versions rather than the (arguably) more common wingtip version. If the tan isn't the right color for you, you might be able to darken it a bit with some brown or darker tan cream polish.

    Can you date these for me? 2 Suits: 1 DB 1930s, 1 SB 1940s?

    Do you have a link or a scan of that?

    Red '30s Saks Tie

    Nothing, they're just too short and usually not wide enough for my tastes.
