Boater assistance
I don't know about US sources for Olney boaters, but if you do get one I'd advise sizing down 1 or 2 sizes - I sized down one and it still needs a bit of padding under the sweatband. The straw is thick and stiff - very much a traditional rigid boater, and made in England, but the sweatband is... -

German & Austrian Hutmachers
^That's a particularly nice homburg. I seem to recall reading somewhere that German's statistically have the largest heads of the western world, but I still don't see many 60/61's come up! -

Show us your SHOES !!!
Nice collection CCJ - definitely get some trees. BR - very nice. I tend to wear English made shoes, but I've been impressed with the couple of pairs of AEs I've picked up.

Levis 505 jeans
Current 505s in the UK are pretty much identical to 501s but with a zip. Haven't seen any 505 shrink to fits recently.- ManofKent
