    Blue hat with black band?

    As mentioned in the Christy's thread, I am in need of a blue hat and, being very keen on contrasting bands, but wanting something quite dressy, which I think precludes a lighter band, am considering ordering a Navy Adventurer with a black band. Before I do so, however, I wanted to seek some...

    Thanks for the warning - I am actually fairly relaxed about the ribbon depth, so I think that I will give them both options in the order, so that they can supply me with the one available, without needing to come back for further instruction.

    An elusive detail of early 1900s mens fashion

    When I get home I will post some pictures which should illuminate. In the meantime, yes, the free ends rest one over the other. The slip illustrated here is of two piece construction with a fairly pronounced rib effect that is quite stiff to the touch - a little like a linen canvas, perhaps.

    An elusive detail of early 1900s mens fashion

    Unfortunately my page on this subject went down when Geocities closed, but, to quote myself: "Two options seem to be canvassed for the origin and purpose of slips, one being that they are a vestige of the under-waistcoat popular during the Regency period in Britain, when I understand it was...

    Cufflinks and Shirt Studs.

    I wouldn't really describe the fastenings used on waistcoats as studs, since to my mind a stud must have a post and a back, whereas generally in my experience waistcoats take what is essentially a shanked button with a removable retainer.
