Just posted this on ebay - it's a vintage tan fedora from Abercrombie & Fitch, their "Safari" model, with the old band removed and a new brown grosgrain ribbon put on in its place (the old one was moth-eaten). For you younger readers, this is not Abercrombie & Fitch in its current guise as a...

I agree on Lauren Bacall.

Hi John - I'm relocating to L.A. in a week or two, but I have two kids, so probably not enough room for all of us. Otherwise I'd jump at that low rent!

Add some flair to your wardrobe with this 2-button men's navy velvet sportcoat, or smoking jacket, as some people want to call it. Photos available at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/54687297@N00/sets/72157623125321397/ * Jacket features include two flap front pockets and besom chest pocket...

I have a buyer interested.

SALE PENDING! Here's a vintage 1940s light gray Royal Stetson Whippet in really excellent shape. (It's the hat I'm wearing in my profile pic, BTW) More photos here: http://gs149.photobucket.com/groups/s63/MQSGF0DQUD/ I purchased it several months ago here on the Lounge and subsequently...

Yeah, it was me. Looking forward to receiving it!

Much obliged. That is exactly what I wanted to know.

Is this hat any good? The price seems too cheap. I don't want another Panama that's going to crack on me after a few weeks. http://www.vintagesilhouettes.com/mh0741.htm Any suggestions much appreciated.

I had an unbelievable day at the thrift store - picked up five Brioni jackets for $4 each.

I called every Blockbuster, Hollywood, Movie Gallery, and Video Update store in town, and nobody has a copy to rent. I finally asked a Blockbuster clerk where one would go to get a hard-to-find movie, and he said, "ebay." There is no joy in Springfield...

Hey, Mycroft, that avatar of yours is about the creepiest picture I've seen in a long time. Looks like the last thing a Nazi might have seen before being assassinated by the French underground. Or perhaps it is from the point of view of a german shepherd, since it's black-and-white and appears...
