Art, I wanted to make sure this reached you personally before launching into a some long, sentimental gratitude-laden holiday greeting, but I'll wait until you reply. Sincerely, Spatterdash, from way back.
Sweet screamin' monkeys.
If they ever offer that shoe in dark brown with a tan top, or in black with a gray top, I'm eating spam for a month and buyin' those.
Funny things about the OP article.
It clearly indicates the fedora was "country" wear, not appropriate for urban centers, yet by the thirties and the forties, the fedora was the hat of the man about town, the ultimate urban cover.
Seems the world has been embracing casualwear and dressing...
That was my wording, and I have yet to read that the seasonal chart, though useful, is accepted widely enough to be considered officially proper.
No, I don't owe an attribution when sharing my opinion, which I specifically said my comment was.
The "Most" would be the majority of those who...
You had a number of reasonable and civilized options for defending/supporting either the wearing of black or the seasonal color chart without making a snide comment about ignoring good taste.
BanjoMerlin,

Hat Ribbon Supplier Review
Hey, gang.
Wanted to post a review.
I think a few of you may have heard of this gentleman. He goes by the name "petitour" on the Bay and he has a wide variety of cotton/rayon hat ribbon. He sells 6, 9, 12, 16 and 19 ligne, and sometimes 4 and 22, in a good...
Tomasso,
They may be, as a number of their discountinued styles are.
The idea would be for the Broadstreet to be available as a standard retail item, and not a high-dollar custom order.
For those unfamiliar with the shoe, it's a classic wingtip with fabric uppers - nylon weave, I think - that Allen Edmonds used to offer for summer wear.
Our own Matt Deckard had a pair recently recrafted, and both he and the Allen Edmond CEO mentioned them in their blogs.
Well, today at...
