How do you go about cleaning your ties? I often come across interesting ties for sale that I pass on, because I have no idea how to safely clean them.- Pera.T

Thank you both very much! The cardboard trick is a great idea, exactly what I needed! Good tip on putting a cloth between the tie and iron too, I'd hate to ruin them. Will be good to get these sorted out so I can actually wear them! :D While I'm here, a favourite of mine that's seen a lot of...- Pera.T

Not sure if this is the right place to post but I have a question for all you seasoned tie collectors! I have quite a few vintage ties from the thrift store which are crinkled and have lost their shape, how can I get them looking wearable again? Is there some way to gently iron the ties...- Pera.T

A NZ hatter unknown to me...
I have one of their cheaper Panama's, and it's a nice enough hat for what it is. They're the only hat maker still here in New Zealand, so I like to support them. However, at the price the felts go for it makes more sense for me to buy an akubra or save a few extra dollars for a custom hat from... -

Toppers Unite
You don't need 15 posts, just an online photo album account! You cant upload photos through the forum unfortunately... Did you find the topper locally Tommy? I don't have much luck finding vintage hats in New Zealand (or anything vintage actually) :( -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Great hat DRB! That granite is an interesting colour, a lot different from what I imagined when I looked at the felt sample :cool: -

Amazing jacket! I want one, and for $5 too please :) -
Show us your TIES
This is one of my favourite threads, I love checking out all the great ties you guys keep posting up! Vintage ties are nearly impossible to find here in New Zealand (as is anything vintage actually), so I only have a small collection. I made a great discovery at one of my local second hand...- Pera.T

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Thanks! I knew leaving the final dimensions in Art's hands would be a good idea :) Open crowned it's about 5 1/4", brim 2 1/2", ribbon 2". The felt is so soft it creases with ease doesn't it! It's only drybashed at the moment, but the side dents keep popping out so I may need to get a bit of... -

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Got this one yesterday, it's also my first VS hat. I asked Art to make me something similar to the Jazzman, and he modified it slightly to better fit my face shape. It's a wonderful hat, very different feel and quality from all the other hats I own and wear. When I first tried it on it felt a... -
Public Enemies hat in exhibition?
Well the rest of the costume doesn't look real, that suit isn't right, and the coat looked different and had a white windowpane [huh] -
Hats in restaurants
I didn't say people shouldn't wear suits, I was replying to the comment made that you can not wear a fedora with anything else, which I totally disagree with. I wasn't aware that there are age limits on what fabrics you can wear, or that jeans were designed for fondling girls in, what a... -
Hats in restaurants
I also wear my hats with t-shirts, they go with formal or casual clothing. I think it's weird that there are people on here that believe that you have to be wearing a suit 24/7 to wear a brimmed hat! If I'm going to the beach or doing something outside on a hot summers day I dont want to... -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Stoney, that's a great looking hat! I have a VS on order and I'm trying to decide on a colour. I really like the look of the Powder Blue sample but I think it might be a bit to 'unusual' for me. I asked daizawaguy what he thought and he told me it's definitely not a conservative colour!!! But... -

Boater faction!
I bought this modern boater recently from Skyvue. It's a great quality hat, and a joy to wear! I don't really like the navy and red ribbon look, so after getting some 2" black ribbon from CaneRodMaker I thought I'd take a shot at making a replacement. I'm a lot happier with how it looks... -

The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard
Wow, these interventions seem to be getting more and more frequent J B lol Perhaps you should call the family to the table for a meeting and tell them all to get over it! You seem to be very accomodating to their thoughts on the matter but perhaps they should try to respect your feelings...
