    Toppers Unite

    Forgot to post! I bought a replica made by a new York milliner, Rodney Gordon. It was made for a stage production in the '90s I think? I'm unsure if he used new old stock silk plush, or if this was some kind of fur. Here it is paired with my work in progress Edwardian morning coat.

    Unfortunately, no. I had been seeing it for weeks and weeks and weeks and now that I actually want to find it, it's not there

    There was a brown one available for sale on my local Facebook marketplace. I just assumed that it was black that had faded.

    Toppers Unite

    I already did. I found that a circa 1980s velvet clothes brush also works well for that final polish. If only I could get it to stay as shiny as it looks when wet. If I used a tiny bit of Vaseline, all I'd have is a greasy hat. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEtFEMMyA5l/?igsh=NHJhcXEzZWZwdXps

    Thank you for the help! God knows I can't afford that. I did luck out and found an older Christy's melusine top hat a few weeks ago for $90. It's a good hole filler for the moment

    I know of NWH. How much did the Northwest Hats topper cost?

    You don't think I know most of that? It's been impossible. Everything vintage is just too small. The few vendors who DO have what I want also know exactly what they have. Cheapest antique I've seen is $2,200 ish, and that's for a size smaller than what I need. Although I do want to point out...

    Men rings - How to choose? What do you wear?

    Here's my latest flea market acquisition; an art nouveau ring from before 1910. High quality rose gold filled. The stone is a later replacement, definitely glass, (looks like it's been glued in), but I'm keeping it in rather than replacing it with a garnet or white sapphire I have from another...

    Since I'm never going to find an original in my size (7 5/8) for under $450 ish dollars (my absolute limit), anybody know of the best looking modern alternative that isn't insanely expensive?

    WTB TOP HAT 7 3/4

    Where in this godforsaken world can I find a good black plush top hat, in 7 5/8 or 7 3/4 for less than $300? New, repro , vintage. I don't care so long as it's not wool. Or am I just delusional?

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I wanted to show my summer outfit from the Manhattan Vintage Show the other day as technically my soon-to-be suit is just the jacket worn as a sport coat at the moment. I made the jacket using drafting manuals from 1916-19, and the detachable collar, necktie and cuffs. I found a pre tied collar...

    Suits - Pre 1920

    Dusting off this old thread to show my summer outfit from the Manhattan Vintage Show the other day. I made the jacket using drafting manuals from 1916-19, and the detachable collar, necktie and cuffs. I found a pre tied collar stud tie that was in abysmal shape and picked it apart for the...

    1910s Summer Clothing Help

    I'm in the process of making myself a simple 1910s linen summer suit, and I'm not sure if I'll have enough fabric left for trousers. I can't get any more of this fabric, and I don't have a pattern for plus fours or jodhpurs (nor would they be flattering on me). What I'm looking for is visual...

    For Sale; 1900s Borsalino s. 7

    For sale: early 20th century Borsalino. US size 7 (despite the label pointing to a European size 7 which is a 7 1/8 I think, it measured at a US 7). Asking $65+ shipping.

    Pre 1940s dress hats

    I will once I see if it fits! If it doesn't, there's no point in keeping it....I'll know in a month at the latest. Thank you for the help, by the way. You have a fantastic collection and I'm grateful you could share your knowledge

    Pre 1940s dress hats

    I took a risk at $24 on what's either a 7 US or a 7 Punti early 20th century Borsalino. It appears to be Punti. Out of Romania, and it appears to have been sold there originally, too.
