This is the Montecristi I got from PanamaBob a couple of weeks ago. I did like Andykev, and got an unfinished body, then had my hatter finish it up here in the states, although at a rather substantial cost. If any of you guys are interested in doing this, I highly recommend that you either have...
Here are a few pictures that I found from the Library of Congress' photo collections:

The other day, I was in my wife's hometown of Marion, SC (about 30 miles from where we live) visiting her parents. I was in need of a haircut, and asked my Father-in-law where he got his hair cut. He told me to go to the only barber shop downtown, and ask them to give me the works.
The barber...
Daryl (aka Kentucky Blues) got this vintage Cavanagh on ebay a few weeks ago. Long story short, it came in to me, and when I saw how nice the hat was, I decided to send it to Optimo to have Graham clean and reblock it for him, and have Marlene put a new ribbon on it. The hat was in perfect...
Well, not terribly cold, but it's very very icy. It keeps on sleeting and raining, and the power is flickering a bunch. I figured I'd put these pictures up so you folks can see what it's like.
South Carolina drivers do NOT know how to drive when it's slick outside.
This is what it looks...
Okay Gentlemen, I need some opinions. I can find a classically styled hat, shoes, and car if I want one. However, our selection of vintage styled suits is sorely lacking.
I'd like double breasted with peaked lapels in a two-piece, or a notch lapeled single breasted three piece suit, if that...
Has anybody here seen a hat or a large swatch of the new Sky Line color? Lately, I've been pondering getting a new hat in this color. My little swatch looks like it has some blue and brown in it.
Any opinions out there?
Is coming out in early 2004. It's called The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra, and here is the trailer.
Beware, as it will require a broadband connection to view it.

I love the whole style of it. It looks ridiculous, but it's neat to see...
I was sitting at school, casually scanning the paper when my phone rang. It's my stepfather, and he's in an antiques store in Kentucky. His only words are "Nathan, this store has a montecristi for $8.99" BZZZZT! Phone goes dead.
I bolted from the building and sprinted to our car and its power...
Is everybody around those parts doing okay?
It's looking pretty bad out there in the news. I'm not sure where everybody around there lives, but 213,000 acres have been burned up so far.
Stay safe, everybody.
I got my Phantom Blue Indy back from Optimo today. Here's a few pictures of it with the bound brim. The brim always kinda had a wobbly look to it, but that's gone now.
Here's some pictures of my pocketwatches.
This is a 17 Jewel Hamilton 974 from 1928. It is a 16 size, and has a 10k gold filled case. It keeps excellent time.
Here's pictures of the 23 Jewel model 922 Hamilton made in 1931. It's just *slightly* smaller than the 974 in the...
