    Anyone have the inside word on who is making the hats for the new HBO Perry Mason series? Set in the 1930’s. Looks like a first class production:

    A little insight and perspective please!

    I've been giving the same hat maker my business now for about 15 years. Initially he sent me a little gizmo to measure not only the size of my head but also the shape so that the hat would be as close to custom as one can get these days. The first hat I received from him was perfect in terms of...

    Cancelling Hat Orders

    So this is a question for the hat makers on the forum. I did a dumb, self-indulgent thing a while back and ordered two custom hats from my favorite hat maker (been a customer for over a decade) within a few weeks of each order for approx $500 each when I couldn't really afford it. I watched a...

    Spectre

    So I'm sure most of us have heard that the 24th installment of the James Bond franchise will be called Spectre, and will make it's debut next November. I had a thought this morning that perhaps one of the qualities that make the movies so enduring is that Bond and assorted cast members all...

    Western Hat from Gangster Squad

    Does anyone know what kind of hat was worn by Robert Patrick in Gangster Squad? It has a western feel to it, but I wouldn't call it a Cowboy hat. Maybe Australian?

    Officer Pinks

    Anyone know of a good U.S. source for ready to wear officer pinks? I'm thinking the same style as worn by Indiana Jones in Raiders.

    Vendor Problems: Could use some advice

    So I recently sent one of my more expensive hats (approx. $500) back to the original vendor to reshape the brim just bit. I don't care for reshaping the brim myself with the ol' tea kettle in the kitchen method, I prefer an experienced vendor to do it with the proper machine and plenty of steam...

    Stainless Steel Watches

    I was curious if anyone could be able to answer a question for me: Are all stainless steel metals created equal? For instance, I'm wondering if the stainless metal on a Citizen watch band would wear the same or more quickly than, say, a Rolex watch band. I'm not talking about the quality of...

    Sport Coat Vs. Suit Coat

    Is there any difference between how a sport coat/blazer is made and a suit coat? Any "rules" against wearing a suit coat by itself as a sport coat with a different pair of trousers?

    Sources for Bespoke Luggage

    Okay, I did a search and got the phonebook, so apologies if this has been covered, but I wasn't able to find this topic. I have an idea for a weekend bag that I saw once in a movie. There are many many different versions of a weekend bag, but so far I have had no luck finding the exact bag I...

    Lowering the Crown on Hats

    I was curious, is it possible to lower the crown height on a preexisting 100% beaver felt hat, one that I have had for several years? The height has always bothered me and I'd like it lowered about an inch. I'm not thinking of doing this personally, but I was wondering if this is a service...

    Tintype Photography

    I'm a big fan of tintype photography, or at least the look that can be duplicated to appear as tintype. I'm thinking of old west pictures of gunfighters and the like. Does anyone know how one goes about getting this look with regular digital photography, like for instance through Photoshop or...

    Appaloosa Movie Hats

    Does anyone know who made the hats in the movie Appaloosa? For my next hat project I was thinking about having a copy of Everett Hitch's hat made, but depending on lighting the color looks very different, from a greenish brown to a dark sand color. Thanks!

    Fading an old Korean War Fishtail Parka

    I recently acquired a mint condition Korean War fishtail parka. Trouble is the cotton outer shell is still a deep green color, it looks too new!! I was wondering if anyone knows how I can fade the outer shell other than washing the shell a bazillion times. FYI: I'm going for the Book of Eli...
