My new prohibition-era suit, inspired by Matt Deckard
I'll repost this new thread of mine from the Ask Andy forum: Two years ago, I had a new series of bespoke clothing commissioned in Korea. Well, I just had another trip back to the same location with the tailor, so I had another one made. I'll resurrect the threads to add the latest piece... -
My wind retention cord broke off my hat... in a gust of wind!
So in the last few weeks, I'm walking along the sidewalk, wearing my favorite Selentino Queen fedora and my trench coat. It's somewhat windy outside, so I think... "Ah! I don't want my hat blowing away. This is what that wind retention cord was made for!" That cord has just been wrapped... -
Just brushed my hat for the first time
I've owned my chocolate brown Akubra Lawson for about 7 months now. Love the hat, but only occasional use, as I'm currently in Iraq for a year. I used it extensively on my 2-week R&R though. Had not accumulated a lot of wear or dirt yet. I keep the hat under a desk, in a box. About a... -
News article claiming a "Hat Comeback"
Haven't seen this one widely posted here other than buried down in an Optimo thread. Not sure I agree with all the author's conclusions, but a rather interesting article about the status of hat sales today, and that they're rather strong. Good stuff... -
My new Brent Black Panama
I'll post more if and when I get time, but here's the basics: I'm on a 1-year military deployment to Iraq. I decided to splurge and order a true, fine Montechristi Panama, guaranteed to be the best, from Brent Black while I'm here. This will be used primarily to kick up my feet late at night... -

Question on Panama hat sizing, (Brent Black?)
So I'm in the middle of having Brent Black make me a custom montecristi fedora. I received the hat sizing sweatbands a few days ago, and am torn on what to go with. My original head measurement I made myself came out to be 24 and 1/2 inches, so Brent sent out 5 sized bands, every 1/8" from 24... -
Akubra Banjo Patterson vs. Lawson
So as I'm enroute overseas, I'm considering ordering a couple hats for delivery, to stay connected with the world back home, and maintain a feeling of civilization. One of the hats I've already got picked out. For the other hat, I've been wanting something like an Akubra, in brown, slightly... -
Had a great style and hat day in New York City
I'm on a business trip to New Jersey, and took a day prior to go into New York City, for shopping and sight seeing. It's been probably 15 years since I last visited NYC. Living in Alaska, I also have limited access at home to fine stores of ANY kind, so it's trips like these that I take the... -
I need good hat/men's store suggestions in NYC/Philly/Baltimore
In a couple weeks, I'm going to be doing a business trip, just under a month-long, to central New Jersey. Up here in Alaska, men's clothing stores and ESPECIALLY hat stores are extremely limited, so while I'm there in the "Lower 48", near major metropolitan areas, I'd like to do some quality... -
Need a good hat store recommendation in Hawaii
Up here in Alaska, we really don't have any good hat stores, so selection is extremely limited. I'm taking the family on a Hawaii vacation for several weeks starting next week, and would like to look at some good hats while I'm somewhere that probably has a good hat store in the state. Will be... -

Newbie's new hat, and can use sizing/fitting advice!
Hello, all-- been here for a bit, reading and doing research learning. My account validation just came through, so I can now post! For a while, now, I've been wanting a dress hat, to wear with suits and overcoats, but have been apprehensive as to styles and size. I'm a decently big guy, about...
