    The $4,300 Shirt

    Obviously someone with FAR more money than sense. Each to their own, I suppose.

    Congratulations, Memphis. You have every right to be proud.

    Any idea what this Mallory Barrister's age might be? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110451594098&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT I'd never heard of the model but couldn't resist for the price.

    Let me add my congratulations on passing the bar. It is a wonderful feeling.

    Welcome to the Lounge, Doug. You sound like my sort of guy. My wife's from Austin, so my first hats were Open Roads. I now have several with various bashes. I love them.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I was fishing for some Homburgs to add to my collection: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280415555941&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280415556646&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT I can't wait to see them.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=380169745670&view=all&tid=0 This one just came in the mail today. As you can see it was listed as a bowler but I thought it was a homburg. I was right, a very nice soft felt with the bow on the ribbon in the back. I've never seen a...

    Fedora Store Beaver Brand Xmas specials

    I, too, have two Beaver Hats fedoras, black and gray. They are both very good quality. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

    Now I'm really cheating on my wife!

    After my last hat purchase, my wife decrying the fact that there is no storage for any additional hats to put into my daily rotation, finally exasperatedly says: "Why put a $50 hat on a 50 cent head." Luckily, I a bit thick skinned and simply smiled.

    David, your desk is FAR too clean. I'd be ashamed to photograph mine.

    Actually in Tennessee, and store that sells beer cannot sell wine or distilled spirits. Any store that sells wine and distilled spirits cannot sell anything else. No mixers, etc. Weird laws.

    Why the South?

    Cornbread with a dab of molasses. Now that's good eatin'.

    Authenticity in the Vintage World?

    Gutter, I agree it doesn't work. The guy across the street is well, hard core, and tried it. When I say hard core, he prefers to call himself a "campaigner" but the sleeping spoon style with a bunch of guys has no appeal for me. Hatted, I'll have my wife take some photos the next time I am...

    Authenticity in the Vintage World?

    I am a Civil War Reenactor. More aptly a War Between the States one, since I reenact Confederate and I am often amused by the authenticity fanatics who soak their buttons in urine to get the right "patina" crowd. Unlike Union persona and WWII reenacting as you describe, Confederates...

    The Other Open Roads.....

    Very nice hat, Atticus. I, too, have become very fond of the OR and its clones. Luckily, I don't have to compete with you, I'm a 7 1/8.

    Looking for Top Quality vintage clothing

    I grew up in the Indianapolis area and there were some very good Men's and Department stores. The Big Three in Indy were: L. Strauss & Co.; L.S. Ayres & Co.; and, Wm. H. Block & Co. Below those was H. P. Wasson & Company which was middle tier (I had more Wasson's than the other three growing...

    Why leather soled dress shoes?

    I had a pair in Indiana and wore them when the ice and snow were melting and it was wet and slushy. I abandoned them when I came to Tennessee. Come to think of it, I may have lost them in the divorce.

    Getting dressed for a local Public Enemies premiere

    I also read an interesting article on one of the scenes that will not be historically accurate, the Dillinger robbery of the Central Nation Bank & Trust in Greencastle, Indiana. I practiced regularly in Greencastle for about 7 years and the bank had been located on the Courthouse Square, the...

    Getting dressed for a local Public Enemies premiere

    Having grown up living about 20 miles from his home in Mooresville, Indiana, where his parents farm still stood, Dillinger was very much a man of his times. I believe the farm is now gone, making way for the ever popular subdivision, but I remember it as a typical Indiana farm house. I look...
