I recently purchased a black, Lock & Co homburg from one of the board members. The ribbon and the edge binding need to be replaced. Does anyone have any recommendations as to who provides this type of service? The hatband is good, but the ribbon at the back has come undone. Also, what type...
I've been wearing my boater on and off for years. My hat is a Brooks Brothers model that I picked up on ebay a few years back. It has an actual hat size (not like their current hats that are S, M, L...) and has a blue and red ribbon. From what I've been reading in this thread, it seems that a...
Lokar,
I was just wondering whatever became of your hat? Did you bring it to Lock & Co on your trip to London? Were you able to have it refurbished?
Let us know how it turned out.

Viktor, I tried to send you a PM, you have "exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space". I'd like the hat. I will send you an email. Mike
Just found this thread. I've been using Brylcreem on and off for years. The funny part is, I think I may be using the same tube. I have found that the trick for me is to follow these steps:
Wash hair
Do NOT dry hair
Squeeze tube while sliding comb over tube top (one pass). This creates...
Charlie,
I would have figured that a "day cane" would have a gold or gold-gilt top, not silver. I've done my fair share of searching on ebay and didn't come across that many. I'll have to look some more this weekend.
In regards to the Victorian look, would the malacca be correct as well...
You are looking incredibly sharp. I am waiting for my morning dress to arrive from the tailor. I received word yesterday that there is a good chance I'll have it on Monday. Chester Jefferies charged my credit card today, so I'm assuming that means the gloves are being shipped. Hopefully they...
Thank you for the advice so far. Though it is not a vintage wedding, I will be wearing full morning dress, and she will be in a ball gown (or at least that's what I hear).
We had heard about about the cutting of the seam, but were trying to figure out how it worked. I mentioned the taking...
My fiancee and I are working on the final plans for our wedding. One of topics that has come up is that of gloves. She would like to wear gloves, but we're not sure as to how the placing of the ring on her finger is handled.
I've done a search on the forum, and didn't find information...
Interesting. I sent them a second inquiry about the color.
Any chance of you posting a distance shot of the gloves? Also, I'd love to see one of the sides of the fingers (I'm curious as to how the handsewn gloves are structured).
Thanks.
Mike
Those gloves look great. These are the same gloves I'm looking at for my wedding.
Any chance you could post a pic of them from a distance that is a few feet away? I'm curious as to how to the hand stitching will look to a casual observer while I'm wearing them.
When I emailed Chester...
TexArchStudent, thanks for the link. The last time I had read through that thread, it hadn't gotten into any real detail about the gloves.
From what I've been able to tell, the chamois gloves are the way to go. I will have to correspond with Chester Jefferies about having them made since...
