I haven't extensively searched for such, but I can't say I have personally stumbled on anything heavier than 12 oz that's still marketed with a super number. Light by vintage standards, but in modern suiting it edges on the heavier side of the scale.

It is still possible to get "old-world" style fabrics - traditional companies like Fox, Harrisons, Dugdale, H. Lesser (and probably others) have lines that are very vintage-y in weight & look, though the patterns and colors tend to lean towards the conservative side. Naturally, you're unlikely...

Summer was around the corner, and I didn't really have many light colored hats in my stock, so... My second hat from Art, and once again I'm quite happy with how it turned out. I have a 60ies charcoal Borsalino "San Remo" that I really like the shape of - but as...

E. R. Wahlman actually also sell a limited sortiment of men's dress hats, and while limited, it still probably is the widest selection of hats you can find in retail up here. I recall my grandfather having a license-made stetson, might still have it tucked away in some closet at my parents...

Wowzers. It's a looker for sure, and dare I say something not for the faint of heart :D.

I havn't tried matching it with much yet, but obviously whites, and light tones in general seem like a good pairing, which is what the majority of my wardrobe consists of during the summer/spring months. As usual, colors shift depending on the lightning - indoors it really is a very...

I had long contempolated on taking the plunge for a custom from Art, and finally decided to take the plunge sometime early spring after seeing the latest and greatest from The Official Art Fawcett Product Advertizing Bure... err, I mean our esteemed fellow member Daizawaguy :D. I puzzled over...

I'm waiting for this to arrive in the mail, at 1/6th the cost of that, and I got another hat thrown in with it as an added bonus. Then again, It's not a Stetson Whippet, it only looks the part :D.

Totally dapper color Homburg.

That list is mostly just really silly (especially 10 (speakers) and 11 (camera lenses) ), and basically boils down to "don't ever buy anything used if you're a germ-o-fobic or don't know what you're looking for", which isn't really much of an advice :confused:.

I really dislike reserves myself. If you want a certain minimum price for something you should just set the starting bid to that and go from there. I realize that this discourages bidding per the "low starting bids generate interest in the manner of hopefully scoring a deal" -rule, but at least...

I was watching that, and really wanted to buy it, but alas, the size, the size :(. Soooo tiny :(.

Thanks for confirming it Brad! Always amazed how people can nail these things so well from the tiniest details, but I guess when you have a sufficient range of samples you eventually end up finding patterns.

Wow, that one is a real killer, wish I'd seen it :(. In other news, I picked up this Knox "Sixteen-Fifty" some time ago (currently on its way to Optimo for a resize), and I was wondering about its potential age - The seller says 40ies and I guess it'd be somewhere thereabouts, but thought...

Thanks, I'm sure I will - I had actually promised myself that I wouldn't buy any more brown hats as I have so many, but this one appeared to just click too well to pass up. It will also be my first large-crown non-stingy fuzzy, so it did kind of fill a niche I didn't have, Or that's at least...
