    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Where are the best places to purchase Borsalino Fedoras? The Borsalino website itself never has my size. Thanks.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I have a question about hat sizing for a fedora hat. I have a couple of "mall" quality fedoras that are both a small/medium sizing in the headband. They fit perfect. I want to move up to a higher quality fedora in which I have to have my head measurements. Whats throwing me off is the fact...

    Trying to decided between a G1 jacket and a 33 halfbelt

    That jacket looks good. You changed the zipper pull on the 33 jacket?

    Trying to decided between a G1 jacket and a 33 halfbelt

    I received shipment of the Cathcart 33 Leather jacket in black a few days ago. It is a superb jacket. It has a nice thickness to it. The fit in the sleeves is spot on. I initially thought the wrong size jacket was sent. I've gained more weight than I expected. Adam at Cathcart was very...

    Trying to decided between a G1 jacket and a 33 halfbelt

    The VERY day I post the SJC jacket after checking almost daily for the last4 months or so, my size disappears, lol. Which one of you bounced on my jacket? lol

    Trying to decided between a G1 jacket and a 33 halfbelt

    The zipper pull with the loop does look very different when compared to a ball chain pull. It is vintage correct though.

    Trying to decided between a G1 jacket and a 33 halfbelt

    I've seen that picture and sent it to FiveStar a few months back when I was contemplating having a custom jacket made by them. Then, SJC dropped their halfbelt and I went away from Fivestar and have been contemplating the SJC ever since. lol

    Trying to decided between a G1 jacket and a 33 halfbelt

    One more thing, while over at the Cockpit U.S.A. website, I ran across a military jacket that combines elements of both the halfbelt and the G1. It has a vintage straight collar, though not spear point, its very close, and the chest pockets of the G1. Its a interesting combination that...

    Trying to decided between a G1 jacket and a 33 halfbelt

    After reading the replies, and they are very good, combined with what I'm looking for, I'm leaning toward the half belt. I can always double back and get the G1 by eliminating some other purchases I'm debating. I want another wax jacket from Barbour, lol. That might be on the chopping block...

    Trying to decided between a G1 jacket and a 33 halfbelt

    Thats true but I have seen both of them dressed up like I want and they both looked good. Its gonna come down to whether the G1 looks good with a high crown fedora, which is how I want to wear it. I know the halfbelt does. The G1 dresses down better. The halfbelt appears to dress up better...

    1930s Wool Sports Jacket suggestions

    I've never ordered from them, partially because they are always out of stock, but their jackets look good. They have several different colors of this style: https://labourunion-1986.com/collections/outerwear-jackets-amp-coats/products/navy-plaid-sports-jacket?variant=35974757187735

    Trying to decided between a G1 jacket and a 33 halfbelt

    I'm having a hard time trying to decide between a military spec G1 offered by Cockpit U.S.A. and a 33 half belt being offered by Simon Cathcart. I'm not looking for anything outside the price range being offered here, both being around $600 with tax. The main thing I'm looking for is a jacket...

    The SJC Clothing Thread - Show us what you have or wish to have!

    I want to order some spectator shoes. I wear U.S. 9D. I was advised by SJC to size up to UK9 which would be a U.S. 10D. Anyone had any experience with their spectator shoes. They are spectacular looking, pardon the pun.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Someone convince me why I should purchase the 1930's vintage custom halfbelt from Fivestar? Is it a very good jacket for the price? It looks good on the website. Thanks.
