Your signature cocktail.
Martinez There are a couple dozen cocktails in our house's nightly rotation, but the one we're most known for is probably the Martinez. 2 oz Old Tom Gin (it must be Old Tom, London Dry will not do) 1 oz Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth 1/4 oz Maraschino Liqueur (we use Maraska, but Luxardo...- jmrtnko

Christy's of London
Yes, they started in Gracechurch in the 1700s, but haven't been there for a long time. I was wondering how long it had been (10? 50? 100 years?) since they left that location. It will give me a minimum age for this bowler. I've sent an inquiry to them, but haven't heard back yet. -
Christy's of London
Gracechurch Does anyone know when Christys moved out of their original 35 Gracechurch location? That address is stamped into the sweatband of a fantastic Christys vintage summer-felt bowler I found in Portland and was trying to get a vague idea of it's age range. I do have a little bit of... -
High Style Brands Absent Here
Fast-fashion hats Most of the above mentioned brands are fast-fashion, like H&M. They are designed to be quick to produce, so when a new trend pops up, a manufacturer can have a new design on shelves in a month.

For that price, it is possible that there is some beaver component to the fur (5-10%). But with "beaver" now being used more to describe a long-nap finish than an actual fur source (even among felt suppliers), it's equally likely that it's all rabbit. I wouldn't worry too much about the fur... -
The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard
I'm guessing it's not just the hats, but this has been the year of odd comments. Bizarrely, it's been largely the same comment. I was standing outside of work six months ago or so, when two women from the building across the street came up and asked, "excuse me, are you French?" Then, a few... -
Toppers Unite
Aha! Any chance you could post some photos? I have a few yards each of a midnight blue silk plush and a black extra-long nap plush and am looking for a good maker for a couple hats. I'm in the US, so someone in Canada is preferable to London for me, so long as the quality is good. I'm not...
