    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Sorry for the slow response. I compared the two coats and there may be a subtle difference in fabric. The Melton seemed softer at first, but the more they were handled, mine then seemed softer.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I purchased a peacoat based on the peacoat dating thread and seem to have wound up with an oddball. And I am very curious to see what everyone thinks happened with this coat. It is dated 1975 with no mention of Melton, but appears to be black Melton with the pre-1980 lining. I am pretty...

    Prada Menswear Fall 2012

    I was disappointed with the high collars because they looked like cheater collars. They looked to be turtlenecks under a regular collar rather than a high collar on the shirt. I couldn't help but think of cousin Eddie's turtleneck dickie from Christmas Vacation. Maybe they were trying to...

    Prada Menswear Fall 2012

    DanielJones, they seem to be wearing Swims (or some other brand of rubber shoe protector) throughout the show. Likely they were using them as a more modern substitute for spats.

    Need Help with Borsalino plz.

    Is this what you are looking for, but in black? I noticed Borsalino seems to label some stingy brims as Trilbys which could be creating some confusion. http://www.amazon.com/Borsalino-Stingy-Brim-Paper-Braid/dp/B004V22N1W/ref=sr_1_20?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1319676564&sr=1-20
