    Victorian repro suits?

    Hello All! I hope this isn't the wrong place to post this... I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Victorian/1800s repros like Wah maker and others? Are they made from old patterns? Do they have good cut and small armholes? I really like those coats and was thinking of...

    A new VS hat!

    Hello guys! Thanks for all the comments! The bash is a diamond bash. I chose a 2 inch brim because I thought the 2.5 brim hat I had was just a tiny bit off. I think it is due to my face being a bit small that I am better fitted to shorter brim. The photographer is me, hehe. It's the classic...

    A new VS hat!

    Armhole question.

    Ah thanks Billy. I've seen that thread but I could not find info about how much the tailor adds to your physical measurement? Might have missed? Best, M.

    Armhole question.

    Hey guys! I have been reading about the high armhole thing on here a bit and I was wondering if there is any standard addition that is used to your armhole measurement? I am getting a suit made and thought that if I can specify the circumference on the armhole of the finished jacket that I...

    Is Josh Bernstein the New Indiana Jones ???

    I wouldn't mind more people wearing hats at all. There is always room for being different with styling and colors if that is your wish. My aim is to dress good and I would love to see more people do that. :) Best, M.

    Fishing line as wind cord?

    Hello! Couldn't find anything with search function, so hopefully not posted before. I was wondering if anyone has used a nylon fishing line as wind cord? I am thinking of maybe fastening one at the back of the hat by the sweatband or maybe just put in a hook in the band and then fasten...

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    I hope it is ok that I am resurrecting this thread. I don't think it is a question of if, but only of when. Greenspan actually wrote a very good piece a long time ago called Gold and Economic Freedom, it is on a bunch of sites so just google it. Quite funny considering what he later...

    New guy with a new hat.

    You really know how to make a guy feel welcome. :) I have to say a thanks to Art, he really knows his stuff (guess I really don't need to tell you guys, hehe). If you do get a hat from him don't be afraid to follow his advice. I was originally intending to get a stingy, low crown hat, but...

    A Tip Of My Hat To You All...

    Hello Chris! Welcome! Do you have any more pics of your suit? It looks really good from what I can see in your avatar. Nice hat too ;) Around here I used to mostly see middle-aged guys with hats and "oilcoats", the outback style, now though I see many younger guys wearing hats too, mostly...

    New guy with a new hat.

    Thanks a lot for your kind comments! This is such a great place. Dangerous though since I don't think this is my last VS creation, I mean I need one of every color to be able to match to clothes, right? :D My wallet will never forgive me. Ofcourse now when it is soon summer I probably need...
