    Is it possible for a regular tailor to sew in a new sweatband? Are special skills or tools necessary a regular alterations tailor might not posses? I ask because I have two panamas I would like to equip with leather sweatbands. This means the old cloth band will have to be removed and replaced...

    That is actually how I believe their craft to function. Many of them might indeed originate from other dimensions, others might simply access those dimensions temporarily. This would also explain how they can travel regardless of medium, even under water. Stories of UFOs being shot at, and the...

    I believe the only ones that know of this are my Family and a family friend. Apart from that I told no one. As I have no proof, I never saw the point in spreading the story. I am not trying to convince anyone; I understand very well where sceptics come from. There were no other witnesses I’m...

    The object I saw some years ago was a flat-ended cylinder in shape, with a silver metallic surface. No texture or further details, apart from a single orange light on the "rear" end. It was slightly faster than a commercial airliner and moved in a straight line at medium altitude. Size is...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

I usually only wear my boots if the weather necessitates it. Rain, mud, snow. I find boots heavy and hot, aswell as a pain...

    Question: Hemp vs palm leaf straws comparison

    This thread actually made me buy my first hemp aswell today. I'm sure it will be seriously useful as a panama alternative I wont have to worry about. And the whole roll-it-up and put-in-pocket thing will come in handy aswell.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Montecristi Panama "Gambler". 2 3/4" brim. Ive been eyeing this one ever since I got my first panama a couple years back. Got it only two weeks ago directly from Ecuador. I absolutely love the proportions and the almost flat brim with a very subtle and elegant snap. Downside: the brim can be...

    Question: Hemp vs palm leaf straws comparison

    I've never actually considered traditional panama hats to be very durable. The straw will dry out and crack with age, and if crushed most panamas will be ruined. They also don't hold up to any kind of rain. Compared to a good felt hat they are quite fragile. I don't own one myself, but from...

    New Member to the Hat Forum

    Hello, new member out of Europe. I'm a general enthusiast for classic mens fashion, of course including hats and classic caps. Got a few vintage felts and straws in my rotation that I like to pair with classic outfits. I will wear a tie most places as long as its not too hot, and these days a...

    Can the shoulders on a jacket be brought in?

    Almost anything can be done if you're willing to pay for it, and find someone willing to to do it . When altering the shoulders of a jacket, the sleeve length will have to be altered together with it, as taking in the shoulders will shorten the sleeves in turn. The shoulder pads will usually...
