Lots of green.

Lots of green.

Nice hat. What is it?

 

[CircuitRider]

Toboggans or sock caps here in Southern Indiana.

 

[Mountain Man]

Here in my neck of the woods we call it a toboggan.

We call it that here in WNC, too - and we pronounce it "Toe-Boggan" with the stress on "Toe" - what Northerners refer to as a "toboggan", we call a sled.....

Tell me about that shirt, BigBeard. Vintage?

No, unfortunately I tend to be too large for true vintage ( 10's-50's ), this is a modern MtM job from Hemrajani Bro's of Hong-Kong and the internet. It's the second generation in a run trying to get a suitably old-fashioned collar out of them, the first gen are decidedly more 70's than 30's. I'm getting there though.
1st Gen.

2nd Gen.

I still want to slim the leaves of the collar some more, with a more pronounced curve on the outside edge.
Hope that helps.

Thanks, Adam. The hat is a Knox Jaguar. I fished it from the 'bay. It came with a feathery band but i switched it out. Some pics in the Conversion Corral.

Here in my neck of the woods we call it a toboggan.

[nice hat dude!]

Well I always heard the south was going to rise again who would have thought all it would take is a discussion over what name a "Knitted Hat"is referred to by.To all of the Southerners I would like to direct your attention to post #19342 of this thread,I would only like to add again that in the 53 years that I've been around I have never once heard it referred to as a Toboggan in Canada.

I actually like them both. In fact, I hate the current trend in "tiny collars" on men's shirts.

Well..that's why then.
You are in Canada...and most of us are not.

Pretty much the same as last time (http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?13274-What-are-you-wearing-today&p=1547459&viewfull=1#post1547459) expect with a high winged collar now!

I also got a new waistcoat, maybe it's better with my stroller ensemble than my old one?

Received two positive comments today!

Bah! Noticed it first now that my collar is not quite straight.

You come home from the hospital in your "first toboggan" Why would you want to wear them 20 years later, unless to play in the snow..---John

I prefer this old waistcoat. I think the four button one doesn't look right with a stroller.

Good to see those outfits. Well done.

1940s overcoat (no maker's label); Tootal bow tie and scarf; modern waistcoat by Lambourne; modern French shirt.

 

[Metatron]

Great! Very Christmassy!

I have never heard it referred to as a toboggan either---ever. You ride a toboggan in the snow not wear it on your head.

 

[Miss Tuppence]

I've been wearing this practically every day since the weekend, (I had to pack light!) and I must say I had some lovely comments!

1940s overcoat (no maker's label)

An excellent ensemble altogether; but those "bullet-resistant" double-breasted (and usually belted) coats are surely some of the best overcoats ever produced for the sort of cold spell we are having at present.
I believe that herringbonekid started a thread on them some years ago
(would PM you, but your mailbox is full).
