Sorry, I didn't mean to sound insulting. Being a taller man I prefer a full Windsor knot because it is big and matches my size. I have always prefered larger knots. I understand that the larger Windsor knot doesn't look as good on shorter stature men.

If you think ties are too long you are either tying it like a school boy and not a full Windsor, like a man, or you are only four feet tall. Edit: I don't think too well first thing in the morning.

I bought this Dobbs fedora from ebay before I realised that there are US and European sizing charts. This hat is a little too snug, so I want to sell it and put the money toward something worth while. Like another hat. So, it is a US size 7 1/8. The colour is Sage. The hat comes in a Dobbs...

One thing I think has disappeared in my life time is the respect younger people have for older people. I think it disappeared some time around early 1980.

I wear a tie every day to work. I do find them to be a bit short. I usually end up with a stubby little bit that has to be tucked into the shirt. This problem was partially solved by getting rid of my gut. I now have a flat stomach and my ties are long enough without having a stubby little bit...

That's a horrible thing to do to the great man. They make him look like he suffered from some horrible facial tick.

And one more.

And here is the inside.

I bought this Dobbs Fedora before I knew there were two sizes of 7 1/8. It is a little too snug and at this stage I feel the best thing I can do is trade up. But before I sell it I would like to know a little more about it. I want to make sure that when I do put it up for sale that I can offer...

Or I might end up selling it and buying a better fitting Homburg.

This is my new old Dobbs Carmody Fedora. It's a little snug but I hope it will stretch as it gets more wear.

Just saw The A Team. It was a fun movie, but not destined to be a classic.

Unfortunately, of the three words every Thai knows one is 'off' and the other starts with 'f'

He was an old Thai man, so 'Cowboy' could have been one of the three English words he knew and I'm sure 'Old' and 'Man' were not the other two. He seemed so proud at being able to say an English word to a Caucasian all I could do was smile at him.
