Fedoraman, that whiskey colour is fantastic. Congratulations.

How well can a Panama deal with rain? I have tried to do a search on this but haven't been able to find very much (though I am sure it has been covered).

Will do.

Bump.

Email sent (my PM doesn't work, it seems).

Hi Loungers, I am in the market for a vintage fur felt porker, preferably not a black one. My head circumference is 57.5 cm, and I usually take either UK size 7 or 7 1/8, or US 7 1/8 and 7 1/4. Open to anything you may have to offer! I am in the UK, by the way, and happy to use your...

Just a quick bump of this thread to say that I was not at all satisfied with an order for a tweed suit at this tailor's (internet order through their website, made to measure). Even though waist size was clearly specified, the jacket came with a very considerable 'comfort waist' for inexplicable...

Hatophile, what an ace picture! Thanks for posting.

And a sharp topper it is too! I have sent them an email (haven't heard back from Lock yet). Thanks for your tips!

Hi Charlie, Thanks for that information, very helpful indeed. Have you had this done by Lock's or did you go to Patey's? I saw on their website that Patey's have a shop in London - do they do the reconformature elsewhere?
