Here's one that I happened to archive do to the unique shoulder treatment. (Maybe Mark would be kind enough to repost the missing pics.)

This recent pic from thesartorialist blog reminded me of this thread.

Marc had wondered if anyone else was enjoying this thread....

The answer is YES YES YES. Please repost the pics if you can. Many of us who didn't see them 3 years ago want to enjoy (or drool).

Thx

The suit made for Douglas Fairbanks is very cool.

Oviatt's Czechoslovakian velour fedora

A fine quality velour felt hat, likely pre-WWII. The felt is very soft but fully moldable. Blocking is very straight with 5 3/4" open crown and 2 1/2" brim. 2" ribbon. Very beautiful sweatband is 2 1/4" wide. Liner is utilitarian cotton or linen suggesting that silk might have been unavailable from Europe at the time? $15 retail.

Steve, I look forward to learning more!

I just posted this in the hat forum, and a member encouraged me to post this here. Picked up a Alexander & Oviatt hat at a vintage store near Hollywood the other day. It's felt and silk and in pretty good condition given it's age.

Hate to be redundant as I posted this up in "Hats" but for posterity sake here's a beautiful old "Oviatt Model, Made In England" by the "New" Failsworth Hat Manufacturing Co. I was told by family that hat was originally purchased in the 40's by the actress Ann Richards ("AR" embossed in sweat). Only other tag I could find is an Oviatt price tag for $15.
