What kind of hat is this?
Please excuse my ignorance, but could you guys explain briefly a "reblocking"? Why would one NEED to reblock a hat? What is involved? -
Proper Suit Care (Vintage and Modern)
Although I only dry clean when absolutely necessary, or in the case of a new purchase from a thrift store prior to tailoring, I do occasionally utilize my dry cleaner for pressing only. I can't currently afford a steamer. Is it "bad" for the suit to have a simple pressing? -
Pointy-collared dress shirts
J, were those shirts at Kohl's 100% cotton, or were they a cotton/poly blend? -
Took the plunge.....
That's very interesting about Japan's "dress code". How fortunate/unfortunate. Fortunate that the men in Tokyo dress well every day (rather than some of the slobs I work with) but unfortunate that they're not changing it up now and then. They probably wear really bold socks. ;)- Undertow

A Few Questions from Newbie
:o I guess I kinda fit into this category. I'm not worried about when the hat was made, only if it's good quality. I own good modern hats and a few good vintage. I don't pick a hat soley based on its production date. Then again, I'm also a fool that enjoys a well made wool felt. (I still... -

Hand gun ownership in the U.S.
Two handguns, will be three in the near future. I own a Smith&Wesson 686, 6-shot .357 magnum revolver with a 6" barrel. For protection I carry a Taurus .357 magnum 5-shot revolver with 2" barrel. Soon I'll be purchasing a Smith&Wesson Model 1911 .45 (and yes, I have fired Kimbers and...- Undertow

The Single & Ridiculously Good-Lookin' Room
I am single and ridiculously good-lookin'. And I tend to be a room, also. Accepting applications for girlfriends, wives, and dance partners. :D- Undertow

the old fashoned barber shop shave...
I was actually speaking to my grandfather about this the other day and he advised he and his brothers shaved themselves. He only received a barber shave when he went to get his hair cut. Otherwise, he and his family used his father's straight razor until he was old enough to buy his own "safety"...- Undertow

My New Dobbs
Yeah, in the picture it's more or less a center dent. I was fidgeting with the bash right before I took the picture so it's not quite anything, really. However, it has a natural tendecy to fall back into a diamond bash. I think I will work around with it dry for a while. What would I need to... -

My New Dobbs
I recently acquired this nice little number from a local antique store in my area. I talked the cashier into selling it for $28. When I asked her the history of this hat, she said it was from the '40's or '50's to the best of her knowledge. The top of the liner has a plastic covering which I... -

minor gripe
I would like to see Fedora in their own listing rather than coupled with Bucket hats. My god, who's error was that? I agree that searching on eBay truly can be an artform in and of itself. -
Sweat! (Not Sweet)
Unless you had something on your head that would naturally leave a stain on any other item (motor oil, coffee, etc.), you're probably just dealing with a little salt, urea and water. Nothing too bad. I think the above suggestion of dabbing with a wet cloth should work. I wouldn't submerge the... -
What kind of Montecristi do you like and what would it be worth ?
Both of my hats are low weaves and I enjoy them very much. They are like wearing nothing, air seeps right through them (I think they're something like 130's). They're stylish, functional and cool in the heat. I think the brim on the left is 2 1/4 and the right is 2 3/4. I'll have to bust out... -

Art Fawcett + Kind Friend = THIS
Those vent holes are interesting. I don't think I've ever seen that before. How effective are they?
