    Back of Hat

    Lots of interesting bashes and creases - and they look dandy when viewed from the front and sides and even the top. BUT, the back of the hat pales in comparison. Not much definition happening at the back of the hat. Prove me wrong? Ideas? m

    Dreaming Sartorially

    Lately dreaming of well tailored clothing. Last dream a few days ago: Everything on the racks is NOS 1930s, some of it very vibrant colors...I throw on a sport coat and its a perfect fit, light as a feather (I know...) and I keep throwing my arms up in amazement at the perfect armholes! I'm...

    Personal Advice - Orphan suit coat

    Wore a new suit twice - the last time encountering an errant nail head on a rocking chair and tearing the trousers. So, would the suit jacket qualify as a sport coat? Its a ventless two-button in what I imagine is kinda an air force blue. Lighter weight/drape. I'd appreciate any thoughts...

    Fightin' Words in the Lounge

    Saw a thread in the Hat forum with a few contentious words between hat sellers. Kept my nose out for once. But, seeing as these guys offer their wares in the public square and there develops a discussion about one or the other's veracity, ethics, quality etc. do we dive into this and...

    FELT - No fighting.

    We know there are a couple of heavier weight high quality modern fedoras out there. Question: Are there vintage fedoras pre-'65 that used a very stout body? If so, were the heavier bodies manipulated to make them seem a little more refined ("wears like iron, looks like silk")? m

    Blousing Shirts - The TUCK

    What is the most "elegant" (for lack of a better word) look for the shirt tuck @ the trousers? I've tended to go a little billowy in the back & very flat in the front and a little pinch out at the sides. Is there a classic line for this? m

    Trouser Buckle

    The buckle on trousers - located at the small of the back - seen on older clothing. What is this called? Is it useful? Is it more useful for certain body types? Should you wear trousers with this feature without a coat or vest to conceal it? m

    Cowboy Felt

    There are hundreds of hatters making the western style hats - cowboy hats. Some of these things sell for thousands. Are they using the same felt our guys use? m
