    Movie Theater luxuries

    My wife and I went to see the new Star Wars movie this afternoon, but the movie isn't really what this is about. We went to a new theater near us that's only been open about a month. On premises it had a bar and grill as well as a bowling alley. The theater had a "recline and dine" option...

    What style is this sport coat from LA Noire?

    Is there a name for the type of sport coat that the detective on the right below is wearing? There are a number of similar multi-colored and paneled sport coats that show up in this game. Some look like multi-colored half Norfolks to me but I haven't been able to google any examples...

    New Stratoliner vs Moose River comparison

    I finally received my new Stetson Stratoliner. Before I go any further let's get this out of the way; this is a positive review of the new Stratoliner. But there are some interesting things to discover along the way. First, are they really the same hat? If you mean were they profiled and...

    Born in a suit?

    We've all seen or known men who seem to have been born in a suit. You may even be one of them. There's something about their appearance that is absolutely correct and natural in a suit. On the other hand, we've also seen men that just don't look right in suits. You might be one of them...

    The Pinnacle

    I was looking at a new Stetson Pinnacle in black this past weekend. A few things stood out to my mostly uneducated eyes. First, its hand was really nice. The beaver was soft, smooth and just felt good to handle. A wholly different feel than say an Akubra rabbit fur felt (of which I own...

    Steamer or kettle?

    A question for those who use commercial steamers like the Jiffy J-1 for their hats; for occasional use does the commercial steamer do a really better job than a kettle or is it more a matter of speed (of actually getting steam) and convenience? In a hat shop I can definitely see why you'd...

    Storing your hats?

    I've been storing my hats in what were supposed to be hat boxes. Today I was looking through my collection and discovered that my Biltmore Panama was looking kind of dingy and yellowing. I don't remember it looking that way last time I wore it last summer. It occurs to me that my hat boxes...

    Poll: Button or snaps on your suspenders?

    Just curious whether your suit suspenders button or snap to your trousers. I have some of each but far prefer the button on suspenders.
