    Dad would never go out without a Fedora!

    I'll have to admit I'm not nearly as strict on the dress code as some of you guys. I do dress in coat and tie (sometimes suit, sometimes sportcoat) for work and church (and other formal-type occasions). But the second I get home I'm in a tee shirt and jeans, khakis or shorts, depending on the...

    Cavanagh edge question

    Two of the three vintage hats I have (to date) are cav edged. I love 'em. Very classy look if you don't quite want the formality of a bound edge.

    Site for golden era clothes

    I've always thought a good product would be vintage-style repro neckties. I love the way 40's ties look, but I prefer the longer modern style, and I love the modern fabric "holder" on the back of the wide part. So, does anybody sell vintage-look ties with modern amenities?

    Ok..Don't Laugh

    I've always admired tap dancers. I have neither the aptitude nor the discipline to try it, however. Go for it, Kilgour, and report back to us. By the way, I gotta ask, why is breaking your toes a common occurence for you?

    Gillette vrs Gillette

    Haven't tried the new vibrating Mach 3. I have a Mach 3 Turbo and I honestly believe Gillette has achieved the perfect razor. Ren, I know what you mean about not feeling any pressure, but I found that for me, at least, that was the beauty. The razor barely feels like it's touching my face...

    Blue and what?

    That's a good looking hat, Root. Does the picture accurately show the shade of blue? I recently picked up a Stetson Playboy that looks similar. It's blue with a purplish ribbon. The blue is darker than yours looks in the pic. The Playboy is seriously blue--almost a "U.S. Cavalry" blue. I...

    old school Crime Literature

    I love those titles ("Death Must Walk Sideways", "Poison for Her Illicit Love"). Sounds like they came out of a random word generator programmed with pulp fiction/film noir cliches.

    What to do?

    My advice: Try to work something out with him that will make him happy and that you can live with. If that doesn't work, give in and take the hit. If you're dealing with people, you're going to run into a certain percentage of sob's. Might as well build that into the business plan and...

    Introducing the Streamliner

    That's a fantastic looking ad, JP! Looks like it could have come right out of a 1940's Esquire. Hey, Art, have you gotten JP's bill yet?

    Palm Beach suit

    Wow! Shoes, socks and everything. I wonder if his boxer shorts are included.

    Introducing the Streamliner

    That one's looking good, Art! Who's the target market? While I think most of us think it looks cool, I bet most of us are too stodgy and old fashioned (I include myself) to try to pull it off.

    Optimo nutria natural

    I agree. That's a great looking lid. I love that tight front pinch and the kind of rakish way the hat flows from front to back.

    advice/opinions on hat purchase

    Dave, if you get it, you GOTTA wear it with the chin strap.

    Help..I need a name!!

    I like Andykev's suggestion, "Whipcord", for the name of the style. The style, itself, I didn't care for at first, but, I'll have to admit, it's growing on me.

    Bond.

    Edge, I totally agree with you about "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." I saw it with my dad when it first came out, and I thought it was great. Later, I became aware that it was almost universally despised. I figured maybe because I was 11 years old when I saw it, and it was my first Bond...

    Latest Acquisition

    It's the new happing thing. The "druid" look. It's only 7 1/2, JP. Art can only do so much. BTW, is this what's known as a stingy brim?
