    Whats the deal with tie length these days?

    Sorry, I didn't mean to sound insulting. Being a taller man I prefer a full Windsor knot because it is big and matches my size. I have always prefered larger knots. I understand that the larger Windsor knot doesn't look as good on shorter stature men.

    Whats the deal with tie length these days?

    If you think ties are too long you are either tying it like a school boy and not a full Windsor, like a man, or you are only four feet tall. Edit: I don't think too well first thing in the morning.

    For sale: Dobbs Carmody Fedora 7 1/8

    I bought this Dobbs fedora from ebay before I realised that there are US and European sizing charts. This hat is a little too snug, so I want to sell it and put the money toward something worth while. Like another hat. So, it is a US size 7 1/8. The colour is Sage. The hat comes in a Dobbs...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    One thing I think has disappeared in my life time is the respect younger people have for older people. I think it disappeared some time around early 1980.

    Whats the deal with tie length these days?

    I wear a tie every day to work. I do find them to be a bit short. I usually end up with a stubby little bit that has to be tucked into the shirt. This problem was partially solved by getting rid of my gut. I now have a flat stomach and my ties are long enough without having a stubby little bit...

    Churchill's cigar air-brushed out...

    That's a horrible thing to do to the great man. They make him look like he suffered from some horrible facial tick.

    What can you tell me about this hat?

    I bought this Dobbs Fedora before I knew there were two sizes of 7 1/8. It is a little too snug and at this stage I feel the best thing I can do is trade up. But before I sell it I would like to know a little more about it. I want to make sure that when I do put it up for sale that I can offer...

    Or I might end up selling it and buying a better fitting Homburg.

    Post New Hats Here!

    This is my new old Dobbs Carmody Fedora. It's a little snug but I hope it will stretch as it gets more wear.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Just saw The A Team. It was a fun movie, but not destined to be a classic.

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    Unfortunately, of the three words every Thai knows one is 'off' and the other starts with 'f'

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    He was an old Thai man, so 'Cowboy' could have been one of the three English words he knew and I'm sure 'Old' and 'Man' were not the other two. He seemed so proud at being able to say an English word to a Caucasian all I could do was smile at him.

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    This morning, wearing a black fedora with a 2 1/2 inch brim, I got the cowboy comment from an old man passing on a bus. He felt it necessary to lean out the window and shout 'Cowboy' at me. Made me thing of the saying, "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello everybody. My name is Nathan and I am an Australian English teacher working in Bangkok, Thailand. I moved here about three years ago with my wife who is Thai. We both love the lifestyle here, so much more relaxing than back in Australia. As for things vintage, I am a collector, user...

    Scouting anyone?

    I was involved in scouting throughout most of my child hood and a fair bit of my teen years. There was no PC stuff when I was involved, but it came in shortly after. When I joined the local scouts the scout master who had just left liked children a little too much. Understandably many of the...

    How did you start wearing hats?

    My hair has been getting thinner and thinner as I grow older. When I would walk the short distance every day to buy my lunch I noticed my head was hurting. About this same time my sister had a tumor cut out of her scalp. I realised I needed to start wearing a hat but I hate baseball caps. They...

    Night Owls only

    I used to be a night owl when I worked shift work. It had its moments. Like early on a winter's morning when I could watch the sun rise just before I headed home. Then in summer when the sun rose I would feel bright and happy because my day was almost over. But everyone on the day shift was...
