I picked up a pair of Bucks Raider plain toe chelsea boots from tatra.ca and I highly recommend them. Great fit with no breaking in time required. They look good enough for a casual night out or on a worksite. Here is a video about the company, which is how I found them.

I plan on instructing my estate to put my hats up for sale at low prices using my account here at the Lounge. At least they will go to someone who appreciates them.

My favorite move quote as a valentine card. From the movie Criss Cross:

I'm interested. PM me with details.

Take a look at the Akubra line available from David Morgan https://www.davidmorgan.com/shop/category/2_22/hats/akubra-hats/. I have had a Adventurer (aka Federation) and a Bushman (aka Squatter) and both hold up to Seattle weather just fine.

Gorramit! I got the suit, but the jacket was too tight in the shoulders for me to wear. :( I was tempted to hang onto it as a "If I loose 10 lbs it might fit" suit, but that never works. It is on it's way back to the seller who was gracious enough to accept a return. Keep an eye out for a new...

Thanks for the support everyone! I don't see how I could not wear this suit. We will see how close the fit is once I get it. I'll ask my taylor to save as much of the material as possible during the fitting and preserve the labels as well. I'll be sure to post pictures once it's ready to wear. :)

W00T! I just won the auction :). Now comes the terrible decision...Do I take it to the tailor, have it fitted, and wear it or try to preserve it as a collectible. Since it is nearly impossible to find vintage suits in my huge size it will probably be the former. Any opinions?
