I went to Van at JJ Hat Repair on a few occasions for a ribbon change, cleaning, and a brim modification to an old parabuntal. The repairs were... OK. The ribbon was stitched on rather sloppily, and I asked him to tack parts of it down before I took it back. I asked for a rolled brim and got...
Hi all,
Here's a link to my eBay auction of a beautiful custom Montecristi finished by Paul's Hat Works. I'm selling it to fund the finishing and blocking of a vintage Montecristi body at Optimo. It's in excellent condition. Thanks...
Hi all,
I finally received my recent eBay win in the mail yesterday. I'm very excited. It's from Casa Arcentales, the same firm that made FDR's hat for the Tehran Conference and HarpPlayerGene's amazing hat. Here are some photos, including shots of the original box, leather band, and...
Gentlemen and Ladies,
It's been at least five years since I logged into this forum. And it's been about ten years since I saw an unblocked Montecristi in this thread and set an ebay alert. But this morning, I was able to win this amazing hat on eBay. I am over the moon...
Just a quick note to say that this suit is back on eBay. With the change in weather, there seems to be more interest! If you're around a 46R, this suit is a real heavyweight monster of vintage goodness. The tweed is really fantastic!
Hello Gents,
It's been a while since I visited the Lounge, but I found a doozy of a suit that might be of interest to you fine folks.
It's a dated 1939 three piece Harris Tweed with a lot of interesting period details - three patch pockets, bakelite buttons, skeleton lined, Lightning...
Hello, Gents,
It's been a while since I've visited the lounge, so I hope that I'm not ruffling any feathers with this eBay link.
I'm selling a dated 1929 three piece sack suit on eBay. It's a good size at around 38R and in great shape considering its almost 85 years. When I bought the suit...
Oh my word.
My gosh, Baron, that's a beautiful suit. I love the double breasted waistcoat. Sadly, the trousers are just too short. Please tell me that you'll be posting something a bit bigger; I'd like to do my part to help you clean yr. closet!

Hi again,
A few notes. I had my tailor finish my sleeves to show only 1/4 inch of cuff. I figure that it's a traditional suit and should be tailored conservatively. No break on the pants, either.
FYI: I'm wearing a Charles Tyrwhitt (modern) french cuffed shirt, 1940's...
Fair Enough
Fair enough. I'm sorry - reading my post again, I realize that I was unclear. The jacket has three buttons and is presently structured so that it is possible to button the top one. I would just have a dry cleaner steam the lapels so that it would roll a bit more, showing more...
