    Fedora - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Wikipedia is a very good place to get up to date information but on certain topics it is very lacking, as is the case with the article on fedoras. The problem with these topics is that the amount of published material is limited, which makes it hard to cite many good sources. The wikipedian...

    Food you keep going back to, because it's just what you need right now

    My fall-back-to dinner is lasagna. One hour in the kitchen and two hours waiting will supply me with breakfast/lunch/dinner for 4 days, if not more.

    Short Sleeve French Cuffs?!?!

    I really don't think its such a bad idea at all, in a fashion-way. He needs to loose those extremely flashy links, though.

    Help me date this Gieves DB shawl collar jacket, plz.

    Were talking minimal differences here. In comparable darkness (you wouldn't wear a dj in broad daylight, would you?). As long as the trousers you decide to use are black and barathea, none would notice unless they decided to brighten up the dining room with a hefty industrial lamp. Heck, I even...

    Help me date this Gieves DB shawl collar jacket, plz.

    I don't see the problem? There is no reason not to wear it as intended.

    Shoe width modification

    Any cobbler should be able to stretch your shoes for a small fee. I often do it with vintage shoes, and have had good results.

    Toppers Unite

    There are plenty. They do not make plush for hats, but for carpets and teddy-bears.

    Toppers Unite

    Indeed it is a myth that silk plush can no longer be produced. There is a very low demand for top hats today, and when someone does buy one, they get a felt or melsusine hat. There is also a large supply of vintage silk plush top hats out there. This makes the crafting of new silk plush top hats...

    FS: Silk Top Hat 58 Long Oval

    Might have been a bit unprecise there. I think the hat is a 58 with a sweatband. Upon closer inspection i have found markings that say it is a 58 (7 1/4).

    Unworn Walk-Over shoes pre-1900 (?)

    Neat summary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dress_boot They are called button top boots, and are basically formal boots worn commonly until the 20s. (More so than the shoe.)

    Boardwalk 1905

    Amazing photo. You dont see many of this size from that era. Looks like a profitable place to be a pickpocket!

    FS: Silk Top Hat 58 Long Oval

    For sale is a vintage top hat. It measures to a size 58, which fits me with some extra space at the sides. I regularly use size 59 and 60 because my head is an extra long oval. This leads me to believe it fits a 58 LO, but not extra LO, as the sweatband is missing. The silk plush on the...

    Ice Cream !!!!

    Mmmmmm. I have a lot of trouble keeping myself away from my motorized cranking ice cream maker. Last Friday i enjoyed an episode of Poirot with a bowl of hazelnut ice cream. I can also recommend cognac ice cream or vanilla ice cream with sherry for you connoiseurs out there.

    Spear point collar shirts

    Btw I have also had good experiences with baron boutique, they made me a nice spearpoint shirt for only $50. Might be worth looking at. http://www.baronboutique.com/mensshirts.htm (MSCO 16 collar style)
