    Wow. That is a hat!

    The British Belt Company: Leather Satchel $69–> $39!!!

    That’s a good looking shell bag. Makes me realize that the glorious twelfth is less than a month away for our U.K. members and it’s only two months until bird season in the US. GLWS!

    Arrow, Russell & Rancourt Moccasins; size 10's

    If I didn’t already have a pair of Russell Birdshooters, a pair of Arrow Canoe Mocs, and the Rancourt Rangeleys I just got from you, I’d be all over this. Am still a bit tempted by those Arrow lace-up boots though!

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    This is the commuter rail; nearly always a seat. From Grand Central Terminal (think Waterloo Station), I hop on the subway, where I wear the hat, of course. No place to put it there. Perhaps a coach service, such as the King's Ferry might be worth looking into? :)

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    I ride the Metro North daily, and treat the hat like any other piece of outerwear. I take off my coat and hat and place them on the rack. Wearing a fur felt hat for a 45 minute train ride will result in a sweaty head. Frankly, other than the convention of doffing one's hat when speaking to...

    Nice Experience at JJ Hat Center

    Had a nice experience at JJ Hat Center yesterday. I know sometimes they get a bit of criticism on the forum for expensive prices, but I was in the neighborhood yesterday and dropped in at JJ Hat Center. I was wearing a recent acquisition - a grey Cavanagh, which wore a severe front pinch and...

    Tell us your favorite urban walking boot or shoe

    I own a pair of Indy 403 boots with the Chromexcel leather and neoprene sole. Have been very happy with them, though the laces would be better if they were waxed. I find the Tru-balance last to be roomy, so I sized down from a 9.5D to a 9D. Same as with the Barrie-last shoes. I have quite...

    Greenfield

    The Italian-made BBGF are typically Isaia. BBBF has been both Martin Greenfield and Caruso. J. Press MTM is also Greenfield.

    It looks veeeery long. What's the shoulder and BOC-to-bottom measurements?

    Gene, that's a *great* shirt. (Insert jealous smiley here)

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    Shouting at strangers in a crowded room hardly seems to align with "traditional manners."

    On the bay

    Are you sure about the $25 shipping? I'm keen on the Stetson Eagle, but that shipping charge is going to make it tough!

    Pomade

    Brylcreem has light hold. What is good about it is that you can wet a comb and run it through your hair and Brylcreem will continue to provide good hold. Ideal for hat wearers.

    FEDERATION IV PROBLEMS...

    If that's as bad as it looks, and if it truly was a "just walking in the rain" situation (ie not sprayed by a tarmac-laying lorry, slobbering St. Bernard, or rally car as it sailed past), I'm afraid you have no recourse but to send it back. Looks like a defect unlike anything I've yet seen.

    Dobbs 7 3/8

    Fantastic. If it were a 7 1/8, it'd be sold.

    Military style hair brush

    Any difference (beyond the obvious one) between the black bristles and the white bristles on the Kent brushes? Never mind, found the following on the Kent FAQs: "There is no difference between the colours of bristle, it is purely down to personal taste, some people prefer black bristle filled...

    WTB: Stingy(ish) vintage fedora

    Wide-brim aficionados, start rummaging through your closets! I'm looking for a nice conservative vintage fedora with the following attributes: - 5 to 5.5 inch crown - 1 7/8 to 2 1/8 inch brim - wide ribbon (in a darker shade than the felt) - Cavanagh edge, bound edge, or underwelt -...

    Anyone Else Tried the Red Wing Gentleman's Traveler Boot?

    The GTs are narrow. But soak a pair of thick wool socks, pull 'em on, and wear the boots for 8 hours, and they'll fit ok.

    Favorite crown height and brim width

    Great thread. I like 5 - 5.5 crown height and 2.00 - 2.25 brims. If had to live with 5x2.125 for the rest of my life, I'd be ok.
