    FS: 7 3/8 Beaver Fur Biltmore / 7 3/8 Robert Hall

    Well, I wonder if maybe my prices aren't a touch too high? I'm willing to entertain offers.

    FS: 7 3/8 Beaver Fur Biltmore / 7 3/8 Robert Hall

    I have two hats that, sadly, have been sitting unworn for far too long, and need to find new loving homes. The first is a Biltmore Canadian Beaver De Luxe Finish, 7 3/8. It's a fairly long-haired hat, if you will, but a beauty, and great for cold days. It was purchased on eBay a few years...

    Coat to match my hat?

    Hello ladies and gents, I have a question I was hoping for some help with. I have a lovely Biltmore beaver fur hat - the warmest one of my collection. Having just moved to Montreal, I know it will be wonderful during the cold winters! My question is, what sort of overcoat would go best with...

    Running like Bannister - but slower

    Just wondering if some of your fashion plates out there are also runners? I've recently come back to running after several years on the sidelines, and so far, done two marathons this year. The first one, I trained like the dickens for, and equipped myself in the newest and latest in footwear. I...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    A pineapple and rum before dinner, and a nice dry white with the food. Gal I've been on a few dates with had me over for a lovely meal before we went out to a play. Wonderful evening - although I apparently overdressed for the theatre...

    Your signature cocktail.

    Perrier and a young Cuban rum for me, with a twist of lime.

    7 year old Havana Club, dark, neat.

    Thanks - you all have confirmed what I already feared. I appreciate the input :)

    Tailoring Cost

    How much is too much to tailor? A question for you knowledgeable folks: I've recently (past six months) lost around 60 pounds. I have two beautiful suits that I adore, but they're now several sizes too large. So, what should I do? How much can a tailor take in a suit? Am I better off...

    Rum Lovers - Good Quality Rums

    Amen, good sir! I admit to a horrible pro-Cuban bias (after all, my father married a gal from the island), but this one is certainly my favourite!

    Beaver Brand Bowler 7 1/2 from John Helmer

    Hello again! I'm thinning out my collection in anticipation of a cross-country move, and as such, I've decided to put this beauty of a bowler out there, and see if anyone would be interested in her: Purchased at John Helmer in Portland just this last November. Well cared for, and I'll...

    Ladies Wool Hat

    Hey folks, I admit, I don't know too much about this one, other than it was my ex-wife's, and she only wore it once: It is a pillbox? Can't rightfully say. The label says "Betmar, New York", and says it's 100% wool. It's got a small elastic in the bottom to help secure it on the...

    When In London...

    So, it looks as thought I'm going to be in the UK around the first parts of June this year. A "Team Canada" of women's roller derby is being formed, and I'm going with them as the referee. Sadly, around my parts, we're particularly hat-shop-deprived, and I figured that somewhere along our tour...

    "Where there's tea, there's hope"

    Trying to decide what to have this morning: Tiramisu rooibos? Vanilla Lemon white tea? White Vanilla Coconut white tea? Earl Grey Cream black tea? Celtic Twist ceylon blend? Moroccan Mint black tea? Gen Mai Chai green tea?

    Any Cigar Afficionados Out There?

    Ida know - I've smoked far more than my fair share of stogies, but nothing beats the one I got in Cuba on a tour of the Cohiba factory, just before it closed to tours :( Brought it back home, smoked it... best smoke ever. Even the non-smokers in the bar were complimenting the scent! Not to...

    Any Cigar Afficionados Out There?

    IMHO Normalization of relations is a long way off, depending on who you vote into office come November, and the continued increase in Cuban-Chinese relations, among about a thousand other factors. in the meantime, come up to Canada or go down to Mexico if you want a Cuban cigar without the...

    Hats In The Car/A Newbie Question

    Tango Yankee, I was asking where you acquired that rack, but now I see the link. A splendid idea! I'm 6'2" and drive a Hyundai with a surprising amount of headroom. The only problems I encounter are the fore-mentioned headrest cramping and the occasional feather loss out an open window :(

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Got my new hat in from OFAS: A bit tighter than my other 7 3/8th hats, but judging by the condition of the hat (spotless) and the condition of the hat box (old, but very intact) and that lovely old attic smell, I'd say it just hasn't been worn in a long time.

    "Fedora Hats Are Rarely Sexy"

    Oh, I know, I know! I was merely attempting a funny here. I myself blog in my spare time, but rarely do my comments attract as much attention.
