Received my Classic Fedora from Brent Black yesterday. I've been wearing it in the house today, due to the rain outside (oh, yeah--and the whole "work" part of WFH).

With temps in the low 90s and humidity higher yet, it's a good day to unwind with a dry Hendricks martini and a Panama.

That Scotch and the soup both look great. I'd like to see more of the hat, too! Full disclosure, I'm in process of designing a Panama now, and in search of ideas.

It's described as "analogue quartz." So it's not a mechanical watch, & will require a battery, right? It might keep fine time, I don't know, but if you want a mechanical watch I'd say keep looking.

I've got the IR, and believe they're a US 10.5. I'll have to check when I get home this evening. I wear either 10.5 or 11 (US), myself, typically in a D width. I've a slightly flat foot, as well. The IRs were just a tad tight at first and have broken in to be a terrific fit, width-wise...

Nice revision to the web site. Browsing the available patterns is now much improved.

I received my order of five Natty custom shirts yesterday, and have to say I am very impressed. An excellent fit is what I wanted, and what I got. The materials and craftsmanship, too, are top notch. The customer service I received when placing my order, both on-line via chat and also through...

I can vouch for Saddleback. I've had their Thin Briefcase for going on 3 years now. It's seen daily use, in commutes, business trips (stuffed into overheads & under seats), and on vacations; carries my laptop, note pads, pens, wires, cables, packages, etc.; and hardly shows the wear. I've...
