    Vintage hat ad: trying to find a specific one I remember - help?

    Guys Hope you can help me? I used to have a jpeg of a vintage hat advertisement whose cartoon showed a father opening a box and holding up his new hat as his adoring wife and children gazed up happily at it. Can't find it on any of the threads. Does it ring any bells? :)

    Which Christy fedora?

    I'm looking for a smart "wear with suit in London" fedora and wonder which of the Christy hats comes closest to the Bailey Gangster, my current cheaper fedora? Any advice? I think the Adventurer may be a bit rugged/outdoorsy. The Gangster is a 4in crown and 2.5in brim but I'm most...

    Same dimensions as Bailey Gangster - but better quality/fur felt?

    Gentlemen - I have a Bailey Gangster fedora which is a great shape, but I'm not a fan of the wool felt. Please could you advise me on which hat is similar in shape and dimensions, but in fur felt? I'm looking to get one in navy, if that's relevant. Happy to spend up to $150 and ship...

    New hat - and Susquehana Hat Co. enquiry

    Got a great deal on a brown fur felt fedora today in London - hat had been crushed and I paid only £40 - with steaming it's great! My question is, where can I find other hats from this company? The style and soft fur felt are perfect! It's a "Mason" fedora by the Susquehana Hat Co. but I...

    Bailey Gangster - between sizes

    Hi Guys. I'd like to add a dark grey Bailey Gangster to my Olney navy, Guerra Brown, and MS black fedoras. However, I seem to be in between sizes. My Guerra 57 is snug but just about OK, yet the Olney L (58-59) is too large. Do any of you have a Bailey Gangster, and could you give me...

    Lightweight suit - Florence, London or Paris?

    I'll be in Paris for a working trade-show in June, the hottest and most uncomfortable time to be there! In true British style, we will be required to wear dark suits with the awful British black shoes - no continental style allowed for us with the antiqued brown shoes I prefer! I'm very keen...
