    My new 30ish suit

    I wanted something with a bit of a 1930's look and decided to get a SB peak lapel suit. I gave Joe this Apparel Arts picture and told him I wanted the one on the right, but with a more natural shoulder. Here's what I got straight out of the box (no alterations) (Note the Carlo Franco...

    Nice Landing!

    Jet Blue with a nose wheel stuck perpendicular landed at LAX. Some burned rubber and scraped rims. Move along folks, nothing else to see here. That's why pilots deserve the big bucks.

    Custom Shirts 2nd Attempt

    So, I've placed 3 different orders with MyCustomTailor over the last year and a half. I expected my feedback to Ravi to inprove the fit and quality of my purchases but unfortunately, that hasn't happened. I ordered several shirts which despite, photos measurements and multiple emails fit very...

    Custom Hide briefcases

    I ordered this a few months ago and I've been meaning to post some pictures. This is a cross between item # 9201 and item # 9101 in the whiskey color. These guys were great to work with and very cooperative in making the changes I requested. The leather is beautiful and the stitching and...

    Ladies Montecristi Calada

    I just wanted to post some pictures of this very lovely hat I bought from our very own Panama Bob. As usual, the price was surprisingly reasonable and the quality is impeccable. Sorry, it doesn't come with the scarf. My wife has been hoarding that in her closet for the last decade.

    Baron Seabiscuit woman's hat.

    The Rest of the Story When we saw Seabiscuit, my wife really liked the hat in one of the stable scenes. I decided to try and find one for her. I started by calling Art, but he didn't know about the hat. Since Baron did a lot of Seabiscuit work, I called and spoke with Mark about making the hat...

    Zing!

    So my wife and I went out with a few friends Friday evening past. One of the friends L doesn't like my hats. She always give me grief about them. (Yeah, I know I should shoot her, but I'm a law abiding citizen.) So, I'm wearing my Panama fedora and tropical looking clothes and we're sitting...

    What do you think of this one?

    This hat has been nothing but trouble. I bought it from Casey (Never Again) Dazell. I gave very specific instructions on the size and blocking that he completely ignored. I took it to Texas Hatters and they let it sit in the back room and get filthy with lacquer and felt dust. I took it away...

    Snappy Comebacks

    So my post about the trenchcoats the other day got me thinking. We should share our snappy responses given in response to questions about what we're wearing or why. My first one was: Q: Why are you wearing a hat and trenchcoat? A: It's raining. I'm often asked about interviewing when...

    A ladies hat question

    Sorry for interrupting, but I am trying to have a hat like this made for my wife. I've only got a few Seabiscuit screen captures and can't really figure out what's going on with the crease or fold on the top. If any of you ladies know about this kind of hat or can point me at some photos I...

    Question about AE Broadstreet Spectators?

    To anybody that has bought these new, Are the brogue holes in the black, black or white? I bought a used pair on eBay and the holes were white, but when I started cleaning them, the holes turned out to be black on black and white on white. The shoes were coated several layers deep in...

    Watch Pockets

    Do anyone have pictures detailing what a vintage pants watch pocket would look like? How would you wear a watch if you were not wearing a vest? I have a Hamilton RR watch on a 12" chain. On modern pants, I just clip it on a belt loop and stick it in my right pocket. But, I then have to...

    Way into Left Field

    I have recently come into possession of various New York Central railroad hat badges. I have eight of them for Station Master, Conductor, Brakeman, etc.... So, Does anyone have an idea of where I can get a RR conductor hat that I can wear them on? I don't think a vintage one will do since...

    What do you think of these shoes?

    I've never worn saddles before, but at the risk of having someone else on FL who wears a 13B snipe me on this auction, I'll ask your opinion. Are they a reasonably vintage look? suede saddle oxfords

    Golden Era CDs at Costco

    We just picked up two four CD boxed sets at Costco. The first is all 1930's music and it's just called "1930". The second is dance music from 30's, 40's & early 50's and is called "Let's Dance" Each boxed set was only 14.99 and CDs have about 12 songs each. They are published by Quality Audio...

    Hair Care Products Question

    I'm trying to find Dapper Dan hair pomade. They don't have it at my local store, they only have FOP. The guy said he could order it and it would take two weeks to get here. This seems slow to me. In this day and age, we should be able to get some internet site to overnight Dapper Dan pomade to...

    Hat FAQ?

    Is there a hat FAQ somewhere that breaks down various manufacturers and lines. For example, what makes a Royal Stetson royal and what will it be made from? Thanks, Andy (stalking my next eBay acquisition....)

    Not a Fedora

    My latest eBay acquistion: A Salisbury-Jacobsen silk plush top hat from Newark. This hat was a 7 1/2 and actually fits me pretty well. Well enough to wear for a formal night out. It will debut this Friday when we go to see Elektra. My local hatter sold me a new sweatband and ribbon so I...
