    'tophat' turned fedora

    Hmmm... Wearing a topcoat with the collar turned up and and carrying submachine gun, you'd look like a hitman from the 30's. ;) :)

    A Safari Jacket Potpourri.....lots of pics

    Chris, I like the pocket flaps on the jacket from WPG a lot more than those on the jacket from U.S. Wings. I have a Willis & Geiger but may get one of those. How did it do after the initial wash? Any serious shrinkage?

    'tophat' turned fedora

    Interesting It's reminiscent of the C&K Lincoln with a narrower ribbon and a bound edge.

    Violinist in the Metro

    One man's opinion. I imagine that the music is beautiful but the acoustics are atrocious. For people, like me, who have difficulty hearing in places where every sound reverberates off hard surfaces (walls, floors, ceilings, etc.) it would be extremely uncomfortable to stop and listen, even if...

    The 'Douglas' contest

    If only I hadn't shaved the beard. Thanks, Douglas. The ascot was fortuitous. Tomorrow I must try a workshirt and vest. It's challenging to keep your sartorial leadership within arms reach. ;) :) I usually try to do this when the neighbors aren't at home. It's the joggers and dog walkers...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Nice hats, gentlemen. Indycop, I hope your interview went well. You certainly dressed the part. Today it's a chocolate brown Worth & Worth fedora. The hat is so soft it'll barely hold a crease. Made in Columbia.

    Western, anyone?

    CJ, Wool aside, those westerns look very good on you. I like the Hondo. You wear the style well. Justdog, How wide is the brim on that Resistol? It looks like an OR clone but that's probably due to the cattleman block. Nice hat. filfoster, We need pictures.

    Snot Rags?

    My dad, six uncles and grandfathers (one was a farmer, the other a railroad man) all carried handkerchiefs. The ones they used at work were not the ones they carried to church or social events. These men didn't have just one or two handkerchiefs, they had dozens. They ranged from the ubiquitous...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    gtdean, That's a real bummer on the Playboy. But... congratulations on a very nice OR. Seller sizing has always been an issue. Absent a tag (and sometimes with a tag), they're often incorrect. The only recourse is to confirm the size yourself. After a discussion with Baron Kurtz in...
