That looks spot on . Thanks!

Just picked this up on eBay . It reminded me of a cross between a stratoliner(crown and bound edge) and playboy (ribbon). Any idea what it is? Too small for mre (6-7/8). I'm a 7 to 7-1/8. Will try to give it a stretch and good cleaning.

Picked this up on Craigslist. My second favorite hat!

of course a different color vest can be worn. personally i think the contrast looks better than having a matching vest! the only time i prefer a matching vest is when i decide to go coatless and wear the vest alone with the pants. i have a light gray versace vest with subtle white pinstripes...

emulating a time period is fine, but that doesn't mean everything from that period looked good to begin with. shorter ties? that may look okay on a slender fellow, but tie bottom to top of waistline seems to look better on most people. slimmer ties look great. i like them much better...

you sent them a bill for $221? they would've been better off just making you the new pants!

looked yellow on my screen ;) but i suppose you're better off having them brown than yellow

you can take them in slightly. maybe so they don't cover the hand. by the time you're done growing they should short enough to show 0.5" of shirt, if that's what you're going for. personally i don't like showing much shirt. it always look uneven on one side and bothers me unless i adjust it...

which isn't necessarily a bad thing. the jacket looks good. fits well aside from the sleeves, which you said you will be altering anyway. can't say i'm a fan of the hanging chain and cross, but i suppose they're your own individualistic "accessories" and as the other person...

well, my suit arrived today from mysuitshop.com for the $300 i paid, it's very worth it. they followed my instructions to a tee on everything aside from the chest pocket. everything fits snug and perfect just how i wanted it, and the list of details i gave them were interpreted very well...

what about wool/cashmere blends

judging from your avatar, it looks as though your hair is just combed or brushed forward. hard to get hat hair that way ;)

so, basically you're saying a softer wool is for "suckers"? [huh]
