Jos A Banks
Bank on Banks I usually get my suits at Brooks but have to say the looks of the Banks suits are fine for workaday wear, and at a substantial savings from the Brooks prices. I would think in this economy, many of us Brooks customers will be giving Jos. Banks another look for our everyday suits.- filfoster

Warhorse & Reproductions of History, how good are they?
Warhorse didn't finish I had some email communication with the man (I believe it is operated by a couple) about two officer uniforms a couple of years ago. I gave him the go-ahead and never, ever heard from him again, despite repeated emails. As for the shoes, What Price Glory? would be safe. -

Flat Top Got my flat top tuned up today, high and tight. The barber slathered on the pink "Butch Wax" that's been around since the '50s. Same smell I remember way back when.- filfoster

The Plush Life I don't know. He had a small supply of original plush when I last ordered my hat and I believe he now uses a synthetic. You can contact him through the website above. He evidently does not have direct internet access and you must commission the hat through Stan Boyle at "History... -

Top of the morning I haven't had the temerity to even slightly disassemble it, but from the feel and weight, I believe John uses a very stiff buckram or pasteboard base for the hat. These are VERY solid, especially the brim, which only the slightly padded leather sweatband makes comfortable... -
Sharp Dressed Man

Is that you, Senator? Tomasso: I know this is a changing room of last resort. I have done it from time to time but I have always felt really strange, hoping no one comes in, which they always do.
