Thanks everyone, I'd completely forgotten about Akubra! The Stylemaster is a sharp looking hat, and if it's a tough hat, then it'll have to go down on my wishlist. :D
So, I finally got around to measuring myself up for a hat today, since my job is finally offering me more hours (thus more money to spend on things I want :D). I'm a 7 1/2, which seems like a large size compared to a lot of other hats I've seen floating around, so I may just go out and buy a new...
It's a weekly ritual of mine to hit up the local thrift shops and try to come across some awesome treasure. Most of the weeks I walk out empty-handed, since mens donations are down in the area. This week though, I got lucky. (Couldn't link the photos into the thread; they're a tad bit large for...
Personally, I only really carry two knives on me; one of the keychain sized Swiss Army Knives that's perfect for sharpening pencils and other little neat tricks, and my Buck 110 (hey, if it fits in my pocket, it's a pocket knife :P). They've been on me since I got them, since my father always...
Surprisingly enough, I almost never hear those words. Closest thing I ever get is a 'you look nice today', or something to that affect. The last time someone asked why I was dressed up (IE sports coat, slacks, and a tie), I promptly informed them that I had a Harvard Square debate to do, and...
I don't know, I have a wool plaid tie that I wear with a herringbone sports coat, and it looks pretty good. Of course, I keep the rest of my outfit pretty subtle as to not provide too much conflict. I always just follow how 'formal' the setting is or the materials are; I try to only wear silk...
I'd be snatching this baby up, but it's not my size. I'm no expert on vintage sweaters, but this one definitely deserves a good home.

Personally, if I'm wearing a tie with my corduroy jacket, it's gotta be a wool or knit. It just helps keep the casualness about it (then again, I almost always wear it with a pair of jeans).
A very poorly edited photo (I doubt the ladies in the imagine would like me putting their faces up anywhere than Facebook :p); the inside label reads 'Callibu (maybe, the writing is gold on white, and hard to read), Bradenton, FL), made in the USA. Probably a late 70's - 80's piece. The pants...
Well, since I'm in a rural part of Florida (by rural, I mean 'We have nothing but chain stores and subdivisions where the orange groves and cow pastures used to be'), my wardrobe consists of a lot of jeans. On the flip side, if I know I'm doing something minutely important, I can break out the...
Personally, the only 'fashion suit' I own is an almost emerald green with white pinstripes through it. It's not too extreme, and surprisingly conservative if you wear it at the right time of year with the right stuff. I'm seeing a lot of the modern stuff taking cues from vintage styling; atleast...
Being a newbie to the forums, I thought I might start myself off with a bang. I can never find many vintage pieces that fit me (or any in general), but I came across this three-piece suit at the Goodwill. It's got the copyrighted ACWA union label on the inside pocket, along with a Woolmark...
