    "Cost of a Bespoke Wardrobe"

    Found this Bloomberg link interesting. They go to Worth and Worth for their bespoke hats: http://www.bloomberg.com/consumer-spending/2012-12-28/the-real-cost-of-a-bespoke-wardrobe.html

    I'm going to be in HK for a few days in late October. Any tailor recommendations? I'd like to have a nice suit made. Not sure there's enough time though.

    FS: "Vintage" Optimo of Chicago, Size 7.5

    I've decided to cull the herd and am putting up one of my best, little worn hats. I'm selling it because it is too big for me and no matter how I stuff the sweat a slight breeze will blow it off my head and tilting my head makes it slide over. I am a 7 5/16 so 7 1/2 is just too big so I've...

    Floppy Fedora from the 1920s?

    Anyone have an idea on this style? Like when it's from? I'm having Art Fawcett make up a replica, but I thought some of the scholars here might know something about it:

    Esquire's "Big Black Book"

    During my travels last week I saw the new Esquire on the shelf and it mentioned hats so I picked it up. There does seem to be a movement afoot to make the hat more mainstream. There was an article on "Stop Hating the Hat" and the 3 archetypes for wardrobe they picked all wore fedoras. So...

    Repairing an unreeded sweat

    I have a great old hat I bought on EBAY but it has an unreeded sweat which is coming loose. Is it best to have it replaced with a new reeded sweat? Or is there anyone who can still sew one of these back on. The sweat itself is still in good shape. Thanks.

    Return of the Broad Brimmed Hat

    In another sign that hat interest is picking up the LA Times ran this article today. It's interesting because it discusses brim size: http://www.latimes.com/features/image/la-ig-hats-20110313,0,6801782.story

    Vintage Jewelery in LA

    I'm looking to buy my wife a high end vintage piece of jewelery. We're recently moved from Boston so I don't know the vintage places in the LA area. We're recently moved from Boston. Can anyone make suggestions. Thanks.

    Hats on ABC 7 in LA

    ABC morning news here in LA had a little feature on the hats and featured Barons Hats and Goorin. Basic, but nice to see. Had a nice slant for ladies too: http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/consumer&id=7684660

    "Chicago Hook" bash

    Anyone have pictures of the various gangster "hook" bashes. I've read about them, and there's one on Gary White's site, but I haven't seen many pictures. Anybody have one?

    Costumey?

    I've run into a bit of an issue lately. I have a hat by Art Fawcett which is similar to the fedora Bogart wore in the Maltese Falcon (the one in my avatar). I also have a nice Aquascutum trench coat. My wife says that wearing them together is too much like a costume. Would any of you weigh...

    Maltese Falcon (1931)

    Since I have the hat (my VS Dingus) and I have the MJK black bird (the real Dingus), I thought I should have a good copy of the movie. The deluxe DVD edition has the 2 earlier versions from 1931 and 1936. 1936 is a disaster. They tried to make it a comedy. 1931 is a great hat movie. The...
