Aero LHB/Stuart combination?
I'm thinking about ordering something along the lines of an LHB with a button front (like that of a Stuart). I'm sure Aero would do it, but I would like to get an idea what it looks like first. Does anyone have something similar? I would love to see pics (preferably of it being worn) and...- STHill

Bush looks pretty funny with Karl Rove's foot in his mouth!
I started to say Rove is a snake, but that would be a disservice to snakes.- STHill

Tailoring project
I picked up a great custom-made (custom made, unfortunately, for someone else's body) blue blazer the other day at Goodwill for $5.50. It's not vintage but it is a fine jacket. It's a very fine, almost silky, wool fabric, with winged lapels, single-breasted, and has functioning button cuffs... -

EBAY ALERT FOR YOU BIG-HEADED GUYS!
Go to ebay and enter "vintage knox hat" (sorry, I don't have the slightest idea how to post a live link). Anyway, scroll down and you'll find a very nice charcoal Knox homburg in 7 5/8. Art should be able to stretch it some, if needed. Oh, and scroll down a little further and you'll see a... -

"Piece of Cake"
I just saw the post from Schwammy talking about Alistaire Cooke and "Masterpiece Theatre." It reminded of an MT presentation I saw about 10 years ago called "Piece of Cake." It was a several week long mini-series about the "false war" just before the Battle of Britain. The period when...- STHill

What's a wind trolley?
More newbie ignorance. I've seen one, so I know what it looks like. But what does it do? And how does it work? -

The Making of Casablanca
Happened to pick up a book the other day called, "The Making of Casablanca." It's a new edition of a book originally published in 1992 entitled "Round up the Usual Suspects." I'm in the middle of reading it and am finding it immensley enjoyable. It is richly researched, well-written and...- STHill

Indy to Bogie?
A question for all you guys with lots more hat experience than me (that would be just about all of you). I'm looking for a plain, unformed, hat that I can pinch, bash, trim the brim, if necessary, in short, customize into a typical 30s to 40s style fedora. The "model" would be the classic... -

Mitchum Block
OK, guys, a newbie question: What's a Mitchum block? I have gathered it's an Optimo trade name for a certain shape, but what does it look like? Anybody have any pictures? Thanks for indulging a new guy. -

The rise and fall of manly headwear
I've always heard that men's hats went out of style, in large part, because of JFK choosing not to wear one at his inauguration. Soon after that, men began wearing their hair longer and "styled." I guess that put the final nail in the coffing for the heyday of men's hats. My question for... -

Summer Hats
As a hat-wearing rookie, I need some advice on what makes a good summer hat. The only lid I own (grey felt, 40s-style fedora) seems more like a cooler-weather hat to me. Works great with the suit and tie I wear during the winter. In spring and summer, I generally dress down when going to... -

Don't Bogart that Hat, My Friend
Actually, DO Bogart that hat. All right, guys, I need guidance. Everybody gets to voice his opinion on this one. As previously noted, I'm new to this. For my first REAL fedora, I want a reasonable facsimile of a Bogie lid. It doesn't have to be dead solid perfect, but it's got to have... -

Introduction
Gentlemen, I'm brand new to the forum, and a novice (a couple of months) hat wearer. Just in lurking here for a few weeks, I have learned so much. It's great to get so much knowledge in one place. Two months ago, I didn't have a clue about hats. I just knew I was ready to start wearing...
