metropd - not rushing you or the other buyer, just leaving a note here to say please PM me whenever you have a decision and I'll send the funds and my address to you.

Still interested if he does not take it, but you can give him as much time as he needs as far as my end is concerned. No big dates to go on with it... yet.

I would not feel quite comfortable wearing a double every day. I also like three piece suits that show a bit of vest, so I have to pick single. That being said, I do love a nice DB as well.

If Paddy does not want to have it shipped, I'll take the hat.

I just see tipping your hat or removing on the elevator as another part of being a polite and decent person, much like the other things I mentioned. I will hold a door for a man, but I'll rarely open a car door for him or pay his bill. Unless, of course, it's a matter of gentlemen fighting over...

I don't see how this would be regarded in any ways other than indifferently or as polite. Most folks don't notice the gesture or know what it means, the few that do will most often appreciate it. I hold doors for women, I open car doors for them too. In most cases, I don't let them pay when...

I read the article, I also feel a little torn about taking the hat off in some indoor situations. At someone's home or table I always do, even baseball caps which are generally considered "OK" by most these days. At a sit-down joint, absolutely. At a bar? No, I don't. So, what about the...

Instead of trying to sell them, you might try to trade them out. Will probably take you longer, but you could get what you want over time.

Hi Bill - I received that hat bowler today. It is in beautiful shape, thank you.

As far as where to build, I am completely out of my league. I am admittedly bad at matching jackets to other things. Perhaps go through the threads in the sticky above your post for inspiration on how to do the colors. My experience is that colored shirts can be a nice compliment or...

Indy will tailor his suits out of a fabric of your choice, you could pick one of his cuts and ask that it be made in a different color. There are several online tailors that will tailor a suit cut of your choice. I think that linen or silk are going to give you the best color options. If...

You're right, I suppose match wasn't the appropriate term. I'm always worried that my eye sees something as attractive and no one else does, which is the main reason I have avoided sport coats for so long. I'll get some photos in here sometime soon.

Hi Bill - I'll take the hat. I'm in Raleigh, 27606, can you tell me what the shipping will be?

HI all - thanks for the replies. I actually did already browse through all of the links in the sticky. I have determined that some ivory or off-white pants will look good, which I found from one of the pictures in the thread. I have some very light beige that seem to work and confirm...

Hey all - long time no post. I got a fantastic deal on this silk jacket: It's labeled "teal", but I'm not sure that's entirely accurate. I can say that it is slightly more blue than the picture indicates. Unfortunately, I have no idea what I should pair it with other than brown...
