    Pocketwatches

    I really need to get myself a small elegant silver (gold is beyond my means at the moment) pocket watch to wear with white tie.

    It is acceptable. That is all. (as long as it isn't derby style lacing...)

    Spats!

    Darcy's (previously VSC) now offer spats: http://www.darcyclothing.com/shop/accessories/spats.html These were made under the guidance of Ray Frensham. They are currently correcting a few flaws to the design.

    The Hats of The King's Speech

    Dear Lord God, Ascots with wing collars by that time was going out and neckties with turndowns for morning dress was coming in (his abdicated Royal Brother wore a necktie for his wedding with that Simpson woman prior). There is nothing wrong with what is worn here.

    The Hats of The King's Speech

    Erm, it's outside and obviously cold. Everyone is wearing overcoats. Could it be that The King is also wearing an overcoat??? Easy enough mistake to make as someone did before when a photo of the DoE came up a while back of him wearing an overcoat over his morning dress...

    Detachable bibs and cuffs

    TBH, these detachable bibs (whatever you like to call them) are not worth the hassle. For one, we use detachable collars because it is easier to starch them separately and they are the parts that wear out more quickly (and we could change the style at whim making it very flexible). As for the...

    Formal Wear Primer

    I am now in the process of gathering together a pair of breeches and silk full hose. These will be used for my summer version of white tie.

    Toppers Unite

    Oh, forgot to post pics of my Magic Circle opera hat: At 5 1/8" tall, it is rather on the short side (almost bordering equestrian dimesions) which doesn't look that good on me and there is some wear spots but this will do for now. I bought it so I can choose been a satin and the...

    Toppers Unite

    I thought it might be cloth as I can hardly see the ribbing of the grosgrain. Eitherway, it is a lovely opera hat.

    Toppers Unite

    The tallow is holding up amazingly well. Oh god, one of those silk hat irons went up on eBay a few months ago and I forgot to bid on it (went for something like £15)! I SOOOO want one! If one comes up, do PM me!

    Thanks! This is most useful! Of cours, I dare not try these methods until I get a cheap crappy topper to test them on but this looks promising!

    NEWS BOY CAPS

    Gah! My cap from the Hat People is delayed because HMRC has held it (no doubt to slap a custom charge on it) and now with all the snow and Christmas I am unlikely to get it until the new year (it arrived in the UK on the 17th Dec) and after I fork out the bail money to release it from Parcel...
