CBS Evening News
I'm really just hoping the nouveau money and well-dressed wealthy begin seeing hats as a viable accessory again, and thus reintroduce said apparel to their wardrobes. Once this takes place, high quality hats will once again creep into outlets like Brooks Brothers, Younkers, Macy's, etc., and... -
How to inccrease the pinch on a fedora
I think a little steaming and gentle, prolonged pinching should do the trick. I would hesitate to apply clamps - although maybe some other loungers could give you more on that. Whatever you do, don't make it a habit to grab the hat by its pinch, even if to increase the pinch. You'll wear a... -
The Accursed "Boomerangers"
I know I've had my scary situations in the past, but I simply will not live with my parents. I moved out when I was 17, never to turn back. I've already been homeless, lived out of cars, lived on people's floors, lived with friends, until I could finally make enough money to live on my own -...- Undertow

Retro-extremists? What are we called?
And to add to your point... Unless you're specifically singled out in being labeled one way or another, why give it a second thought when others try to determine how to label themselves? If someone says they are "Ivy League", I guess I'm not interested one way or the other. But if someone...- Undertow

What You'd Like To Have, What You Won't & What They Will Probably...
Oh, no doubt - I get that every time I insist on the wolves. But I tell them if they're willing to split my possessions up, pull the plug, and other various post-mortem requests, they ought to honor my request to transition from worldly flesh into...well, Wolf energy, as one might say. :rolleyes:- Undertow

Born in a suit?
Well...depending on where you bought your shirt and how much you paid! :rolleyes: I just happened to be at both Younkers and JC Penny's last night looking over button downs, "suits" (suit seperates now, neither store actually sold suits), slacks and shoes. While both stores had... -
Matching hats with suits?
Sounds like a midnight blue; too dark to be blue, too blue to be black. That's a great color for formal occassions. I agree a charcoal color hat would fit, and also a light to medium gray. Don't worry about the "gangster" look - you're gonna get that no matter what you wear...along with... -
New Stetson model at Cabellas...
"A satin-lined, fur-blend hat with natural water repellency that makes it great for winter wear in areas where weather can change rapidly. Sueded sweatband inside, leather band with bound ribbon edge outside." I wonder what they mean by "fur-blend"? Is this 100% rabbit, % rabbit and % beaver... -

What You'd Like To Have, What You Won't & What They Will Probably...
I'm on the same page with this one. I've told my family numerous times that I'd like to be thrown to wolves. They simply won't have it.:mad: So I said I'd like to be cremated and tossed in the trash next to yesterday's leftovers. They protest. :mad: I asked what they preferred. "We'd...- Undertow

Craigslist, anybody have luck there?
Iowa is full of antique stores and estate auctions; anything that doesn't get snapped up in an estate sale, is usually either pawned or sent to an antique store. Period. Anything on CL is 1980's+ and typically in the ThighMaster line of reasonable utility.- Undertow

And You Wonder Why I'm a Cynic...
That's really too bad. I'm dealing with something similar with my state department of human services. A friend is trying to obtain food stamps (she's broke with 2 jobs, not much else one can do). She filled out an application online and received a follow-up phone call within 24hours. Great...- Undertow

Matching hats with suits?
You might consider this thread for pairing ideas: Hat Ads It's too bad that homburgs have basically gone the way of top hats - theatrically appealing, but not practical. I say that with respect as I too have a homburg that I enjoy wearing occassionally, but receive the strangest looks (as...
