    Henry Tomkins bags - any experience?

    I'm in need of a new bag and wondered whether anyone had any experience with Henry Tomkin's work? http://www.htleather.co.uk/category/satchels The prices seem extremely good for a custom made bag. I'm pretty heavy on bags (I don't drive, so carry them for fair distances, and with a lot of...

    Sam - you always look good in a beret. My late father-in-law always wore one so I've felt the need to avoid them. Eric - having recently suffered the pain of working silly hours you have my sympathy. As for the hat you get envy :)...

    Manfred - great looking cap - definitely looks more continental European than English despite the name.

    What constitutes a trilby and what constitutes a stingy fedora isn't defined in any rule book - it's really more a case of what a hat maker/seller/owner calls it but generally the classic trilby would be flanged with a very pronounced back sweep, curving to the sides which is more distinctive...

    John - nice Borso. Andy - the Capas looks great on you - nice volume. Matt - great colour combination with the ribbon and felt. i wouldn't have spotted the blemishes if you hadn't pointed them out. Great white - good to see a work hat. I warn you the weekend hats will become addictive :)...

    They look good Manfred. I'd looked at the Sterkowski offerings on the 'bay and wondered what the quality was like - they have some interesting designs.

    GD12 - there's no clear division as to when a trilby becomes a fedora, but typically trilbies are short-brimmed with a very distinctive upsweep to the rear of the brim and and a downsweep to the front. On that basis I'd call it a trilby.

    Dunn & Co. Great Britain

    Whilst they started in the 1880's as a hat retailer, they had moved into general menswear by the 50's. Because they had so many stores across the UK you can find their hats fairly easily. I don't think they were producing their own caps and hats by the 1980's, just branding them. As to who they...

    Boater faction!

    Olney make pretty decent English hard boaters (they're still made in Luton, the traditional centre of straw hat manufacture over here). The straw is good - they're truly rigid, and the ribbons okay. The only real negative is the pleather sweat (oh and they come up very large, at least one size).
