    Help need to complete my Sherlock Coat

    Hi, After watching the splendid BBC production of Sherlock I became enamoured with his wonderful Belstaff Milford greatcoat. Unfortunately, that coat costs around 1300 pounds and is discontinued. BUT a friend of mine who sews has agreed to hand make a replica of the coat to my...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Just picked up this beauty the other day. English made houndstooth plaid trench. The pockets even have slits to put the belt through, which is new for me. *this is closest to its true colour.

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Trench Coat grumble So I have a Silverbelly VS and have been trying to find a trench coat to match it with. Everywhere I go I see women with trenches that would match my hat perfectly. No such luck for men. Apparently the "manly" version of beige is actually khaki. This frustrates me to end.

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Tying a trench at the back I have a couple of trench coats now and like to knot the belt behind me to bring in the waist. It also folds at the back in such a way as to almost create a frock-coat like shape. However, some people have poo-pooed this method and say that tying the belt at the back...

    cleaning a soiled beaver felt hat.

    Hey folks, Got a common problem here, but I thought I'd let you know the specifics just in case. I was out swing dancing with my VS custom beaver felt when I decided to dip myself at the end for comic effect. Whoops, there goes my hat! Double whoops! Now I've tread on it with my shoe. There...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    New coat to go with my custom VS. I couldn't find anything in beige/ivory in Melbourne, even after hunting all over the city. I ended up buying this cheap piece of cotton construction from South Korea for around $40 off ebay. Turns out to work surprisingly well. The colour matches nicely and...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    That coat I found in an op-shop for $5 one summer. It's 100% wool, and of surprisingly high quality. Best piece of treasure I've ever stumbled across.

    How long do hats continue to shrink?

    My custom VS feels a little snug and I wonder if I might have to stretch it just a little. :(

    Dressing for silverbelly

    I just found this suit online that might be simply smashing with the new Silverbelly. http://www.italsuit.com/product.php?productid=19013&cat=375&page=1 Of course, such a low price is a bit suspicious and I would have to approach with caution, but I figure as long as I get the jacket right...
