I have a Chaps RL peak lapel morning coat ~ $40 shipped CONUS. The coat is a true 44R, black worsted wool (NOT herringbone) and has no issues. The coat was not designed with cuff buttons and it is missing the side seam that is considered correct. This is an ex-hire from ebay. The closing...
I cracked up when I saw a still photo of him waving around a shotgun with a pipe in his mouth. I've tried shooting a side by side while smoking a pipe; it really never turns out well.
I have a white tie outfit I've worn once. The large butterfly tie that I ordered from the UK was annoying to tie, and looked way to big. Also, the metal adjuster seemed VERY visible on the side of my collar. Recalling the slim batwing white ties on TV shows like "Downton Abbey", I decided to...
More info on this hat
...it is a Cavanagh edge, much nicer than the bound edge on a new Biltmore I got last year.
The liner looks more like oilskin to me, since the lettering is opaque, not clear.
Unbashed, the height of the hat is 5"
Inside diameter is 22 3/8", the brim is 1 3/4 wide
No size marked, but it is about a 7 1/8 to 7 1/4.
Overall condition is good, sweatband is a bit loose, but overall in fine vintage condition. PM if interested.
$40 shipped CONUS.
I've got a new Biltmore Centercrease in 7 5/8. Yours for $80 shipped in the US lower 48.

I'm out of town until 11/8, though.
Thinking about getting this one from the Village Hat Shop.

Any comments on Bollman quality, construction?
Sundance mens catalog
Recently arrived among the mass of holiday catalogs, lots of good stuff.
Some vintage looking boots made with Horween (non-shell) leather in contrasting colors caught my eye.
Leather jackets, officers shirts, and accessories also looked good.
Hi all,
I've got a mustard colored vintage doeskin men's vest for sale, about a 41/42 short. Purchased from a eb** seller in Britain, it does not fit me (I'm a robust 44R). The satin back has some water stains, but it is in good vintage condition overall.

I recently acquired a number of pairs of vintage kidskin gloves (ivory color), extra small (women's size 6).
The gloves are in various lengths, including some that would go to the elbow for evening wear. The workmanship is incredible, though some are in need of cleaning. If anyone is...
I live in Downey, kind of like being in exile...
About San Francisco, I was there last weekend and had a great time (dinners at Schroeders and Big Four). The streets seemed cleaner than LA, the bums less aggressive.
Hear, hear. I'm in the Coast Guard Auxiliary, and we generally wear tropical blues (in Southern California) in public. Much better image than the operational uniform.
