Hmmm...or short top hat...lol.

In honor of Dr. Sueus' birthday, it's dress up as such at a school where I teach. This is the upper portion of my "Fox in Socks" outfit. However, what would an actual hat of this sort be called?

It does indeed. There is something about Irish whiskey that lends itself to mixing with the Islay scotch well. No rocks for us. If a Scotch is cask strength we may add a tsp of water, but otherwise it's strictly neat for us.

A dram of Jameson's infused with 2tsp. of Ardbeg 10. Mmmmmhhhhmmmm

They did! I got probably 50 kids that said how great I looked. Strangely, the classes were much more well-behaved when I had my coat on during class rather than with it off.

Under the band is a small label, that has serial numbers. When I purchased it I inquired about them here and was told by several of the folks who restore hats, that certain ones in the sequence gave the date of origin. It's been a good 10 years or so ago, but as I recall Art F. helped me out a...

Thank you, sir. When I ordered the suit, I chose the cloth to match the Borsa .

At one of the schools where I teach, today is Fashion Friday. So I decided to dress to the nines. The Fedora is a 1941 Borsalino, the suit is a Magnoli custom 1930's era, italian wingtip short boots, gold and ruby tie pin, and even Boker pocket knife from the mid forties.

Greetings again everyone. In my previous post I mentioned, "more hats" and intended to get to it sooner, but had let's of private inquiries and sold a half dozen fedoras. So...here we are with the next one, a great example of a Stetson Boater. The estimated era is 20's -30's and they can be...

A Rum Belly Vengence. (A VERY dangerous cocktail) Easy to drink but shanghais you the first chance it gets.

I had Old Rasputin Imperial Stout served cool...just below room temperature. Absolutely delicious.

The coat arrived in fine shape and looks stunning on me...if I do say so myself. Keep me in mind if you get anything in that size again. ;-) Oh, and thanks for the tie! Cheers, M

Greetings! For your consideration: A fantastic example of a Knox Twenty, in 7 3/8. The inner circumference is just over 23in. So like many vintage hats, some are a tad loose, others as midge tight. I wear this size ant it fits me nicely, though on the loose side. The brim measures 2 1/8, and...

Hi all. While this isnt vintage...or vintage-like, its a great coat that saw me through many miles on my Triumph. I do custom leatherwork, so I had to adorn it properly. The patch is fully tooled and dimensional as well as painted. I never went down, but did leave the road grime as i like the...

I pulled out the Dobbs Twenty today. Cheers, M
