    Great advice--as straight-laced as your beautiful shoes.

    What are you listening to?

    My commute to work was rocked by Eddie Heywood's version of Begin the Beguine (Swing Era, 1944 volume). Also listened to Exile on Main Street--1972 is seeming about as far away as 1944 these days....

    Driving hat?

    Modern car headrests are so annoying to hat wearers--this one, anyway. I guess the fact that they can save your life in a crash counts for something....

    Los Angeles Magazine

    I noticed in the current issue of Los Angeles Magazine an article on hats and where to get them in LA. Most of the places they mentioned were for fashion hats, but they did mention Hollywood Hatters and Baron's........ http://www.lamag.com/issue.aspx

    Praising business casual?

    I just don't buy into business casual. I work in an office that is business casual (no jeans) but I always wear a suit. On "casual Fridays" I wear a blazer and flannels, tweed jacket and cavalry twills, hacking jacket and gabardines, etc., but always with a tie--the non-matched aspect is my...

    New Vintage 3 Piece Suit: Looking for Feedback

    I have an early 60s bespoke Hector Powe with the rings and elastic braces--it is amazing fabric and really great cut. I like to research the original owners of old bespoke suits (thank goodness for tailor's labels) and the gent for whom this one was made was a rather prominent man in the City...

    Why are posh people so scruffy? Hilarious article

    I used to know a British MP who was also a baronet. He always went around with half of his lunch and the contents of an ashtray down the front of his suit. Bespoke, rumpled, covered in Partagas ash and scrambled egg, he was still remarkably debonaire.... He caught a hot young wife, too, but...

    What are you listening to?

    Got to find that one, John--sounds great. My other guilty pleasure is a CD called "Swingin' with the Grateful Dead"--big band verion of Truckin? Sugar Magnolia as a jump tune? Believe it or not, it works!

    What are you listening to?

    If you can find it, there was a great album called "James Bond and his Sextet"--jazz impressions of James Bond themes. Seriously good music to drink a martini to.

    What are you listening to?

    Today on my drive in it was more big band music, especially the amazing Malibu by Benny Carter--this piece for me sums up the Film Noir vibe. Also listened to Tommy Dorsey's verison of "On the Sunny Side of the Street"--grab your coat and DON'T FORGET YOUR HAT!

    LLCoolJ - Where's he getting his hats?

    Maybe you CAN make a fedora out of a sow's ear?
