Allen Edmonds' Broadstreet's return!
Regarding goofy colors, AE has been offering shoes in the "webgems" department in all sorts of goofy styles and colors, and that's a good thing: - Some of the shoes are in seasonal colors, like orange and black for Halloween, or red and green for Christmas. Now, I don't have the free disposable...- Lgrant

Like hell it's yours! Hat cards
My dad used to have one of these cards (printed on Day-Glo orange card stock) in the sweatband of his hat, along with his business card. I never took them to be something to ward off hat thieves, or even people who want to inappropriately handle your hat. Since, back in the day, there were a lot... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
I am wearing my fedora from Bailey's of Hollywood. I don't have a picture of me under it, but it looks like this: http://www.baileyhats.com/images/db/bhhats/aw12/3811.jpg My girlfriend bought it for me when she got tired of me complaining that men don't wear fedoras anymore. It is my favorite... -
Allen Edmonds:How many??
I have two pairs of black McNeil long-wing wingtips (the same kind my dad bought me for my first pair of business-wear shoes with I was 18, some 40-plus years ago), and a pair of black Mayfairs.

All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette
@Annixter: I think you just hit the nail on the head. These rules are not just a made-up ritual, each has its purpose, like not blocking the server's view of your face (which would not be a problem at the lunch counter, since you are sitting higher up relative to them). They are based on being... -
All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette
@Brent Hutto: A few years ago, somewhere in these forums, someone mentioned a device for taking care of your hat in restaurants. It was a leather strap with a loop on one end, and a spring clamp on the other. You put the strap around the back of the chair at the top, and put the end through... -
All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette
@hatophile: It sounds like you are following not just some, but most of the rules, at least as I remember them. For example, in an office building, it was OK to leave your hat on until you got to your particular office; the common area of the office building was almost considered "outdoors". I... -
All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette
Hatiquette: torn between two worlds I just turned 60 years old. (My avatar picture is from when I *started* wearing fedoras.) When I started in business in the '70s, hat usage was dying down, and I was just on the tail end. Eventually, I stopped wearing hats, and I have no idea what happened...
