Just a quick bump, as this beauty ends tomorrow.

I went to Van at JJ Hat Repair on a few occasions for a ribbon change, cleaning, and a brim modification to an old parabuntal. The repairs were... OK. The ribbon was stitched on rather sloppily, and I asked him to tack parts of it down before I took it back. I asked for a rolled brim and got...

It's a beauty for sure. Good luck!

I'm annoyed, because someone put a bid on the hat before I could upload this picture that I took with a nice camera. Drat.

Sorry! I hadn't thought to put one in and now it's too late as someone has put down a bid.

Hi all, Here's a link to my eBay auction of a beautiful custom Montecristi finished by Paul's Hat Works. I'm selling it to fund the finishing and blocking of a vintage Montecristi body at Optimo. It's in excellent condition. Thanks...

Hi all, I finally received my recent eBay win in the mail yesterday. I'm very excited. It's from Casa Arcentales, the same firm that made FDR's hat for the Tehran Conference and HarpPlayerGene's amazing hat. Here are some photos, including shots of the original box, leather band, and...

I thought that you fellows might appreciate this suit. It really is beautiful. It's way too big for me, too, or it wouldn't be on eBay!

Hello Gents, It's been a while since I visited the Lounge, but I found a doozy of a suit that might be of interest to you fine folks. It's a dated 1939 three piece Harris Tweed with a lot of interesting period details - three patch pockets, bakelite buttons, skeleton lined, Lightning...

One day left, so a quick bump. No bids yet!

PS: If the suit goes to a lounge member, I'll throw in a matching set of braces. :)

Cheerfully edited. Thanks!

What a lovely coat! Would you please tell me where that store is located? (pm is fine, too)
