Ohio: The Heart [and Hat] of it all!
OH-KY I am a transplanted Buckeye, living just accross the river in Fort Thomas KY. I enjoy the rivalry and am amused by the misconceptions each has of the other. It's mostly in good fun. Gus Miller at Batsakes is a gem. I have several hats he made for me, including a top hat! I confess I... -

Cardigans for casual gentlemen
Do not go gently into that good night... How I envy all of you! I love cardigans and have thought often this season of finally buying one but can't pull the trigger on it. Somehow, Ozzy Nelson haunts me, and the Uncle Joe Carson (Edgar Buchanan) character from Pettycoat Junction. Both my...- filfoster

Alternatives to Red Wing Gentleman Travelers
lining Of course, it's personal preference but I agree with Atterbury Dodd on this. The leather lining seems like such a good thing but this is one drawback. Wearing holes out in the lining is another.- filfoster

NEWS BOY CAPS
LOUNGE-time learning Dinerman, I have learned something. (Don't tell Mrs. F: She's convinced it's not possible) This selection suggests that snaps were the norm and not the exception. Thanks! Still have the 'snapless' Tom Joads in the works but I am satisfied he just might have had the... -
Looking for a hat
Big Tent Carldelo, that's what I think too. The Lounge is a big, welcoming place. It's big enough to allow all of us who love hats of whatever sort (except for beanies, perhaps, but that's for another thread), to show and tell and argue. I think only MK speaks for the lounge because, uh, he... -
NEWS BOY CAPS
Snappy patter PoohBang, thanks for your help. I think I'll be happier with a 'snapless' hat since I can't get a definitive photo of the hat to show a snap and it's my impression that caps without the snaps were more common, so a better representation of the time. Perhaps some Lounger has the... -

NEWS BOY CAPS
Snappy hats Thanks. I am hampered by lack of samples or pics. The movie version of Tom Joad's hat does not show any snaps so that's what I need. The source above looks just right and Michael at Hatterdashery is interested in recreating this cap too. -
NEWS BOY CAPS
Late as usual It wasn't until I began recreating Tom Joad's costume from Grapes of Wrath, that I discovered that most newsboy, or 8/4 or Gatsby hats, whatever you call them, now have those execrable snaps on the brims. The last ones I bought, 8 years ago or so, were tweed Borsalinos that did... -
Slowly moving away from vintage and on to Akubra exclusively.
Akubra I note the Stylemaster has a very similar shape to the Jaxon Bogart fedora but has the bound brim. -
BRACES (SUSPENDERS)
X Y Z I prefer them in terms of looks. The 'X' ones look like hip-wader suspenders or what firemen or loggers wore.- filfoster

Slowly moving away from vintage and on to Akubra exclusively.
Akubra Since last fall, I have bought four Fed IV's from Hats Direct. I have been surprised how quickly they arrive-usually in a week. They arrive well packed and the hats themselves are the ones I like best, except for my vintage Dobbs light gray. They are easy to bash and even the 'standard'... -

Collar Bars
Myself, I can't bear to pierce the cloth of a dress shirt collar. That limits its use ever after. I recall some shirts actually made with holes in the collar points for these bars. Swank is a brand that has indeed been around for a long time. It's no Tiffany but everyday mens jewelry. I have...- filfoster
