Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!
Hard to say It might be OK, but I think life owes you a really good trench coat to go with the fine hats. My long beige Burberry with wool liner set me back a little over $100.00 as I recall, and the ladies all go "Ah, a Burberry !" Priceless ! I'll keep an eye out, too, on da Bay, if you...- W4ASZ

Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!
Absolutely. I have looked for an Aquascutum now and then, without success. I did, however, find stashed back in a closet my grandfather's old Alligator trench. Rayon -1950s - St. Louis. It actually fits. I was shocked.- W4ASZ

Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!
I have purchased several Burberrys on da Bay. The main thing is to make sure of the sizing. You'll need the measurements, and a lot of the sellers post those in their listings. It's funny, the 50 long I have is quite roomy, but the 48 regulars are snug with a sport coat on. I'd say generally...- W4ASZ

New Swanepoel/Stetsons: "Fewer than 50 of these hats will ever be produced."
I showed the picture of the Swanepoel Homburg to my St. Regis, and it insisted on being put back in its box. As Sir Winston might have said, tomorrow these hats will still be ugly. -
New Swanepoel/Stetsons: "Fewer than 50 of these hats will ever be produced."
Book Him !!! The suspect Albertus Swanepoel was advised of his rights under Miranda v. Arizona and made the following statement in response to questioning : Q. Being that you are a hat designer, how often do you wear a hat? A. I don’t really wear hats, except in the cold of winter. I... -

New Swanepoel/Stetsons: "Fewer than 50 of these hats will ever be produced."
I think Albertus Swanepoel was the villain in an early Bond movie. My little photo funny has been deleted as unfair to both Escape from New York and the legendary Isaac Hayes. But why did these have to escape from New York ? -
Ebay vendor?
There's a straight answer I'll keep in mind. Thank you, Sir ! -
Ebay vendor?
Yes ! ... This is what I use for searches. I have it bookmarked in my browser, and when I want to run a search, it's easy to get at, and putting the phrase of what I want in quotes gives me even more accurate results. When I have a question, I'll run a search this way, then a couple on TFL... -

WWII Espionage
Thank you as well, Lone Ranger. I am comforted to know that the experts here are of that opinion. I would hate to have missed something ! -
WWII Espionage
I have read nothing, ever, that indicates that Herr Hitler's people had any success spying in the U.S. This would have to be something new, but I'll wager it just isn't at all. Thanks for your time on this, Amateisgal and Chasseur. -
Good night, Vienna !
Thanks for that information ! I still enjoyed the footage from the "grand opening" in 1933. In one clip, you see construction workers at the base of the diamond antenna, then you see their work destroyed 77 years later, for the second time, as the SS dropped the masts at near the end of WWII.- W4ASZ

Good night, Vienna !
The Story and End of the Bisamburgsender (1933-2010). This could go here, under Radio, under Hats, and under the Loss of Architectural Treasures. There is good footage in the middle for the hat fans, Homburgs galore. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm0_E7Zjcl8 Please to enjoy, except...- W4ASZ

Hat color for navy blazer
I'm not the Great Arbiter of good taste, but it looks to me that my Roadmaster, which is "Natural" in color works with the khakis and navy blazer. http://www.bencrafthats.com/product.php?pid=455&desc=Hat+-+Roadmasterby+Stetson -
Our own vintage town
I'm with it ! W4ASZ -- the antenna restrictions were intended to keep out television (other than the Baird-Jenkins mechanical system!) and the various UHF services such as cellphones and wi-fi. We could certainly amend to allow special exceptions for equipment manufactured before January 1...- W4ASZ

Nutria felt in the modern day
Not Heresy, but ... I came close to bidding on that one. My inclination, were it mine, would be to get it cleaned and blocked and then to enjoy the hell out of it ! Conversion is for religion, not hats. ;) -
How often do you wash your hair? (guys & gals)
Every day. It is one of the simple things which I owe to myself.
