Got it off of an etsy seller in England and went back and forth 3 times with their measurements and a measuring tape. Then had my wife take my measurements to make sure. I had been looking for a coat for about 2 weeks and had short listed 6 (down from 12) when I saw this one come up and...

I think overall it fits well, not as well as on the mannequin perhaps, but not to poorly. Here are some quick snaps after my weekly trip to the local record shop pardon the mirror distortion.

Just found this thread. Here's my 'new to me' tweed Tenchcoat, ( if it's tweed can it really be called a trenchcoat?

Got dressed to go out for dinner earlier this evening. Decided to steam a pinch into the Dobbs to see how it looked. I think I like it! Sorry for the mirror pic.:confused:

A bit more casual than usual today with a cap and my black Merc Harrington.

I fell for the simple, clean, classic styling of the dial design of this Seiko. The fact that it's a mechanical movement was a big plus. Didn't care for the metal link bracelet it came with so I swapped that for a leather strap.

Wearing the grey Mallory Stingy again today. Only posting because I think I was a little 'stingy' ;) with just 1 photo last time, so here are some more views.

Dark red-brown (oxblood?) Biltmore Beaver Blend stingy.

Charcoal stingy Biltmore Royal today. My first hat bought new in the early 90's. Recently had a shop take it in for a reblocking, new sweat and new ribbon. They absolutely butchered it, and that spurred me on to learning how to do it myself so that I could make it wearable again. It's not all...

Definitely a Dobbs of more recent vintage than most of those posted, but my first with the Dobbs name on it and still a very nice hat, if I do say so myself.

Wow! What a smashing colour combination. I love the edge treatment on that brim, and such sharp, clean lines and silhouette. Lovely, lovely hat!

Wow! Now that's a compliment! Thank you VERY much.

Already posted a couple of times in the What Hat Are You Wearing Today thread, but I figure I'd take the time to introduce myself here. My name is Charles (Chas is easier to type though, so there's that out of the way). I live in Ontario, Canada (so my spelling may look a little odd to you...

Grey Mallory stingy brim today.

Don't know if it's preferred or not, but the first pic was the hat on my desk in my classroom, so here is a pic of my reflection in the bathroom mirror wearing it. And yes I wear jacket and tie everyday, usually with a waistcoat (vest), however I almost never wear a suit.
