I think if you look up that rn number-- I think rn 68369--you can find the retailer. Possibly London fog? Cheers

Hi I like the second example, dk brown db with the lighter pants. Not enough contrast with the first pairing. cheers joe in seattle

Hi It does look like they were in business in 1921: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130207765068 1921 AD FOR E.V. PRICE & CO. - CHICAGO MEN'S CLOTHIERS ...and also in 1939: I also found a mention of the company in some kind of archive...

Hi Sorry about the low post count--I just don't feel that I have much that I can contribute to most conversations. (But, I have been sitting in this dark corner of the lounge for about three years, so I have seen a lot.) Anyway, I have a good number of F-B suits (6-7) and I can...

Hi You might also try: Michaels Bespoke Tailors at 1333 5th Ave Ste 400, Seattle, WA 98101 or Decaro Sartoria Custom Tailors 2025 1st Ave # D Seattle, WA 98121 No experience with either, but I've seen plenty of their work in the thrift stores around here, and have a couple shirts...

Hi I agree with Dinerman. I thrifted a very nice grey flannel suit with the same kind of pockets (I almost passed on it because of the pockets.) Mine came from a Seattle philanthropist, hmmm. You know, I would have been kicking myself now if I didn't get it--the suit has grown on me and...

Hi FL Thanks for the pics. Maybe all the ones I have (strat, open road, whippet, & brand new unknown model) are newer ones, they have logos like the first, round, one, but are not outlined in a square or a circle and don't have the X's. cheers joe in seattle

round logo/square logo? Hi I am confused, what do you mean by round vs square logos? Are you talking about the logos in the liner, at the top of the hat? I don't see that differentiation on any of my Stetsons. Are there some pics somewhere? curious in seattle joe

Hi Duck I like that hat. I have a brown whippet and it is one my faves. I think the whippet has a classic look. cheers joe in seattle

Nice hat Hi I like that hat--it's a color not often found. So, is Portis a brand to look out for? I have two, probably from the 50's I'd guess, but I didn't think much of them, hearing very little about them on the forums. cheers joe in seattle
