    Looking for hat information?

    I have to say I'm a little proud of myself for starting a thread that after only three pages includes Hank Williams' boots. :p I actually do have a silverbelly Open Road (with a re-shaped crown) I got a fantastic deal on on eBay, though I've never been too confident of myself in such a wide...

    Looking for hat information?

    I am getting married in late September (morning church wedding, brunch reception that will end by 4pm), wearing the suit below (different tie, black shoes). I'm not certain I will don a hat on the big day (though I think the bride-to-be would love for me to!), since we won't be spending much...

    On ebay: 3 pairs of Allen Edmonds

    I'm mostly a lurker here, but I have three pairs of AEs I recently posted on ebay (my first time selling!) if anyone is interested: In very good pre-owned condition: 'Randolph' loafers in chili - 8 EEE 'Bradley' split-toe oxfords in chili - 8.5 EEE And they aren't in as good of shape...

    Custom Hide briefcases

    I bought a bag from Custom Hide a year or two ago. As I recall, there was still a bit of a backlog...it might have been a month or two before it arrived. But the quality was great, and I'm a very satisfied customer!

    Paul Frederick

    No mentions of Paul Frederick on here in a long time, and I just got a catalog from them with a "buy any item, get a second item free" gift card for new customers, for this catalog only (mostly shirts and ties, with a few trousers). Any thoughts on the brand? Seemed a bit iffy in prior...

    A summer wear quandary

    Thanks, everyone. I received many compliments, and stayed as cool as possible.

    A summer wear quandary

    Thank you all! In the end, I decided to keep both suits, as it turns out that I'm going to have several opportunities to wear them in pretty quick succession. I'm planning on the seersucker for the big event (at which I'll be working on set-up and probably shuttling around a lot) and linen for...

    Tie collection: what to keep?

    Hello, all. I amassed a fairly sizable (for a teenager) tie collection in high school, as I was in coat and tie virtually every weekend for some activity or another. Unfortunately, my high school years were from '97-'01, right in the middle of the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? fashion trends...

    A summer wear quandary

    Haha, always the first question with JAB. I didn't notice any problems.

    A summer wear quandary

    Here they are. I'll need some new shirt and tie combos, as nothing I have presently really looks quite right, but good enough to get an idea of how they'll look. If I decide to keep the seersucker, I'll have to exchange it, as they sent me plain-front pants instead of pleated, and I'll also...

    A summer wear quandary

    Haven't had much luck with plaids or lighter grays in the past, but I'll keep them in mind. Jos. A. Bank was 70% off for a day this week, so I went ahead and ordered a linen and a seersucker if only to see how they look and return them if I don't like them. My price point is fairly low; if I'm...

    A summer wear quandary

    Being a person of somewhat dark complexion who is drawn toward traditionally Autumn colors and styles, who has mostly been in either academia without much need for summer wear beyond lounging around the house, or else in extremely traditional fields where dark wool suits are a must year-round, I...

    Beautiful Dobbs w/ Cav Edge, Very Deep Brown

    Beautiful hat and exactly what I could use right now, but it's just too small :(

    Custom Hide briefcases

    Well, I saw an unbelievable deal on ebay and had to go for it, if only to check the quality and color for myself. I got what seems to be a very lightly used brown Organizer Laptop for $10 (plus $20 shipping). It's really too small for my purposes (plus I don't use a laptop), but now I...

    Shoe repair

    I bought a used pair of AE Evanstons in great condition on ebay for I believe under $50. Not thinking, one day I knelt down to tie my shoe outside, and realized that my other foot was in gravel...and so this happened to my shoe: It isn't terribly noticeable, but it makes me sick...
