Can I recommend to all fellow loungers this outstanding company. Read all the 'about' info - I can attest to the quality of their work and have just ordered another belt from them.
OK it sounds a lot for 'just a belt' but quality never comes cheaply ! Who knows, one day your grandchild may...
My daughter was married on 2nd March and I wore a suit which I had made in 2006 for the FIRST time.
Don't ask me why I never wore it till now !!! Maybe I was waiting for the right event and this was it I guess

Hi, Does anyone own one of these leather caps by Bailey ? I saw a guy wearing one and was surprised because I'd genuinely never seen one before !! I've tried a few different tweed caps and have never been happy with the way they look on me - they always seem to look good on others and i think...
As a kid of 14 in 1967, I was nuts about the 'Invaders' TV series starring Roy Thinnes. I only discovered recently that the whole series had been released on DVD and I've just finished watching series 1. I guess I bought them for purely nostalgic reasons really but even after all these years I...
Does anyone have an Aero Longshoreman ? What are your opinions of the jacket ? Hard to tell from aeros website pics what the jacket would look like 'on' - so if anyone has photos . . . . . . . . . . :)
I have a long half belt ( size 40 ) in Aeros standard brown colour which I have decided...
My Aero A2 is going home to Scotland after only four years of average wear ! Its their standard 'in house' A2 for which I paid £360.00.

It is Seal Brown and I chose mid brown...
Well, not only did I make my now annual pilgrimage to Duxfords 'Flying Legends' airshow, but I actually managed to talk my wife into coming as well !! Glad to report that she genuinely enjoyed it. If you've been to this show before then I'm preaching to the converted - if you haven't, then...
Alex Henshaw the WW2 daredevil test pilot has died aged 94. He test flew practically every Spitfire built at the castle Bromwich factory here in Birmingham. Here are some pics and report from our newspaper , the Birmingham Mail.
There's no end of info on here about what goes with what suit etc etc but can I ask what was typically worn by an ordinary Joe in the 30s/40s ? - say a guy who was usually to be found in a half belt leather jkt and 'bakerboy' cap ? Of course there's no definitive answer to my question but can...
Fellow loungers, does anyone have any experience of Willis & Geiger A2's at all ? In particular those of 1960 / 70 vintage ? What is their fit like ?
If anyone has photos of themselves wearing one it would help a lot.
Thanks in advance
Colin
Well here's the Mallory I got from Mr E Bay - I'm a little self conscious in the pics, not least because the photographer, my long suffering daughter, was making wisecracks about Al Capone and Frank Sinatra - guess I have to get accustomed to that kind of thing ! Now all I have to do is wear it...
Just received a hat today which I bought off of 'the bay' Its a vintage Mallory Eagle which is in virtually unworn condition but has obviously been stored for years and has quite a 'musty' smell to it :eusa_doh: - possibly in a smoking environment. Apart from this, it is in super condition and...
Forgive me for asking lots of what you all must regard as stupid questions but in my defense I admit to being a real 1st grader where hats are concerned !
To my latest question then,,, I know the attached photo (not my hat BTW) is of what is referred to as a 'stingy brim' Is the brim...
I know that except for brim width, one fedora looks much like any other in a photograph and that colours can be notoriously difficult to reproduce accurately but does anyone have any idea what the hat in my current avatar might be ? I could ask Mr Costner but I don't have his telephone No. lol...
Does anyone here ever wear one of these caps ? I see them called different names - Gatsby, Newsboy, Eight Quarter etc. In period films, it looks like they were primarily the headwear of 'working class' people ( which is what I regard myself as since I work for a living !!! )
I think maybe I...
As a prospective fedora wearer (thanks to this great site) I have some questions. Firstly, regarding hat material, I was looking on the Akubra site and they say that their hats are made from pure rabbit fur as it is tough and resiliant. I like the look of the Akubra fedora so that is a...
No, this isn't in the wrong forum despite the title ! I watched the 1967movie "Bonnie and Clyde" with Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty last night. No !! they didn't come by my house to watch it - they were IN it ! lol
Seriously though, up pops Gene Hackman as Clydes brother Buck and he's...
Here goes : A non hat wearer ( not for long though ) starting a thread in the hat section. Just looked through the thread Marc started re Presidents having good/bad hat days and thought it might be interesting to see who you think looks/looked good/bad in a fedora from the world of celebrity...
OK, I'm wanting to tap into all the knowlege on the site again ! My query is this : apparently the so called 'half-belt' leather jacket such as that currently offered by Aero was a popular style in the 30s/40s. There are two versions offered, the standard half belt and the 'long' half belt...
I got measured for a suit today ( see my post in suits ) Its in a 40s style - double breasted. I guess there were many different styles of shirt collar around then but was there any one particular type favoured by the majority ?
Would some collar styles be unsuitable with a DB. Re ties...
