    How many hats do you own?

    Wow, I've got more hats than I thought. I think I'm at about thirteen, but I can't seem to find them all. Those of you with lots of hats: how do you store them all? I've got mine all over the place and I'd love a nice method for storing them.

    bye bye television!

    I only use my TV to watch DVDs! I love it that way -- I really don't miss TV channels and commercials and the bizarre things that are being broadcast these days. Sometimes I feel a bit out of the loop, but after four years without a single TV channel in the house, I still love the feeling of...

    The Color Brown

    I too am a great lover of browns. I've got one brown suit that I adore, and a good variety of odd jackets and trousers in various browns. Brown tweed, especially, is awesome. I've even got a light brown (pale taupe?) striped seersucker suit for summer wear.

    Your signature cocktail.

    Mine depends on the bar, the hour of the day, and the time of the year. My favorites are a Hendricks martini garnished with cucumber, a Tanqueray and tonic, and a pint of the local brew -- usually Walkabout Worker's Ale or Southern Oregon Pale Ale (a newcomer, very tasty). At home I tend to...

    Favorite cigar & hat combination...

    In this weather, I smoke inside, so I don't wear a hat! But in the summer I have a few Panama hats that I happily wear while puffing away on an Avo No. 3 or No. 5. :cool2:

    Pocketwatches

    In the "Jeeves & Wooster" TV show, Bertie Wooster commonly wears his pocketwatch in his breast pocket. Sometimes with a pocket square, too, so it must work all right!

    I'd love to get my hands on one! I'm in.

    Golden Era pipe tobacco line planned

    Sounds delicious! I smoke GL Pease blends quite regularly and am constantly impressed with them. Tasty, tasty stuff.

    Pipe Smoking

    It's a bit blurry, but good looking stuff. I've tried straight latakia and straight perique before. They were both pretty rough. I've been considering trying some rum-soaked perique as per Aleister Crowley's favorite smoke, but I'm not sure I've got the cajones for it. -- Pymander

    Pipe Smoking

    Wow, straight latakia? I'm not sure I could handle that. But I do enjoy Samuel Gawith's "Balkan Flake", which I believe is around 30% latakia. And where in the world are you getting Syrian latakia in bulk!?! That's awesome! I'd love to get some, just to make my own blends. Red Rapparee...

    Duchess Clothier in Portland, OR.

    I think I may have screwed up the colors a bit with the photo, because the ribbon and trim on the bowler are actually a pretty close match. They are just a shade lighter than the suit. And thank you! Heck, I've managed to cultivate a handlebar moustache now, actually, which I suspect makes...

    Duchess Clothier in Portland, OR.

    Thanks, Jake. I am really happy with the suit, though sometimes the sheer quality and style of it makes me feel like I might stand out a bit too much. I'm not sure why, as I spend pretty much all of my time in suits and ties. It fits pretty well in the arms, I think, and might be perhaps a...

    Pipe Smoking

    Hi all! I've been smoking a pipe for a few years now, and have been lurking on FL for a number of months. Mr Dundrillon, I love your pipe-smoking setup. I probably smoke an average of a bowl a day -- during the work week I don't always get a chance to smoke, but I usually make up for that...

    Cleaning ties?

    "Silk and Clean"? Has anybody used this "Silk and Clean" pad that Jos Bank sells? I've got a couple of ties that I'd love to save, but I guess I'm too cheap to shell out the $10 to see if this works...

    Should I get a Whangee?

    Deckard, did you have any trouble getting your umbrella on the plane? I am going to want to travel with my brolly soon and I'm not keen on running into TSA issues at the airport at the last minute.

    Duchess Clothier in Portland, OR.

    Pictures! I'm not very good at posing for photos, but here are a couple of them. First, an image of me reading a book and smoking. I try to make sure that any suit I wear is good for this sort of activity. And here's a picture of me posing awkwardly with my new brown bowler, which I...

    Duchess Clothier in Portland, OR.

    I'm actually wearing a Duchess Clothier suit today. It's a three-piece "E.B." with a few modifications. It's brown with gold pinstripes, double-vented, single-breasted, 2-button. The vest has a notch lapel. I love it. Fits very nicely, and I get plenty of complements about it. I'd have to...

    Dressing dapper while beating the heat

    Seersucker? Howdy, folks. I don't think anybody has mentioned seersucker yet. I happily discovered it this summer as I struggled with the boiling heat issue. Seersucker, silk, and linen have gotten me through the summer. And thin socks that I keep wearing out! Somebody mentioned the Jos...
