    Partisan, Pesant, Revolutionary Cap??

    In Yiddish it's called a _kashke't_ or _kashke'tl_. I'm not sure of the Russian, but it's probably the same.

    Wearing a fez

    I believe he specifies a fez "that fits", as he's started a thread about how to stretch the one in question.

    Hat Virgin about to make plunge!

    Easy for you to say!

    Beaver prices

    ... that's why it seemed not such a bad deal to pay $300 for the current Borsalino beaver hat, at 25% off of the in store price with an extra 10% off (if you know how to hold your mouth). I like the design better than that of the Pinnacle. I have Stetsons, but that one doesn't appeal to me. If...

    Hat Virgin about to make plunge!

    trilby... Do you mean a Trilby? This is the British term for most soft felt hats, as they were popularized by the stage play of that name. A Trilby should have a narrower brim, but is in practice used as a catch all.

    Beaver prices

    Actually, their sizing online mystifies me, too; but I recommended in store shopping because a) I'd be nervous about buying a hat I hadn't tried on myself and b) in this instance, the instore price starts out $50 less than online. FYI, L=59 &c. As to the wind and the UPS truck, I shall hope to...

    Beaver prices

    Feltfan, I have may have an agenda and a business interest, but they are unrelated to beaver fur, Borsalino, or Brooks Bros. (though I'm an occasional fan of all three). I posted an earnest question and answered a question asked of me, as I'm answering yours. I guess that even after some two...

    Beaver prices

    With all due respect, they don't need to do the cleaning or reblocking, there's any number of places about to handle that. The Fawcett hats are beautiful, but I'm not necessarily after a vintage look. I'll certainly take a gander at one of the Bencraft stores when I'm in Brooklyn.

    Beaver prices

    well, it kept the beaver warm.... I can't speak to the future, but you can get a nice price on a beaver Borsalino at Brooks Bros. right now. The internet price is $498, but in the store it's $448. With 25% off the in store price, it's about as good a deal as I've found. Anyone got a better deal?

    Question about Barbour waxed cotton jackets

    for what it's worth... For the Barbour waxed jackets, bestinthecountry.co.uk has even better prices. I've bought from them and been very happy. They don't carry the Barbour tweed jackets, but they do have some nice ones from Chrysalis (be prepared to wait!).

    World's Most Popular Overcoat

    Loden coat in the US Brooks Bros. carries them -- certainly I've seen them in the store on 44th and Madison. Tried one on a couple of years ago and found it much too roomy for my frame, but Brooks tends to cut a bit large anyway. I did get a nice Loden shooting jacket from Chrysalis and just...
