    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Been awhile since I've been on, but its nice to see so many wonderful hats from Art. I'd love to get a second, but I have to stop myself from thinking about it too much or I'll get the itch and my wife might not appreciate me scratching it, haha. Great looking hats everyone, congrats and good...

    Hey everyone, we keep Bloomberg on at work and Orlando from Worth and Worth is going to be on after the commercial break to talk about hats and what not. Turn it on if you can!

    Heavy/thick leather wallets. Who makes them?

    I think Saddleback has some really nice looking stuff. I've been trying to justify one of their thin briefcases but I can't do it because I don't need a bag. However, if my Coach wallet ever gives out I'm going to get a Saddleback wallet.

    New fella with hair issues....

    I'd say a pomade is your best bet. Go to Walgreens and get a can of Royal Crown, it should be under $3 and its a good way to get a feel if a pomade will help you. I have been using Royal Crown for a few months now and I like it, I would consider my hair normal, but as it grows it gets whispy...

    I got my Grafters Brogue Dealer boots soles studded !

    Those boots are priced pretty well. How does their quality compare to other UK shoe makers?

    Basic personal possessions of the 1930's American male

    This all has just furthered my desire for a quality leather travel bag for short weekend trips or up to 3 or 4 days when packed well. However, my wife can only make do with a suitcase for shoes, and toiletries. She is small but can max out a suitcase, and I'm a big guy so I have big clothes so...

    My first Fedora - c/o Mr Art Fawcett

    My first fedora was from Art as well and it really was so much more than I hoped for. The reaction from strangers has been pretty positive, at least the ones that say anything. My family gives me a hard time about it, but my wife likes it so what really is there that matters?

    Bloomberg's Tom Keene with a Homberg

    Hey everyone, is anyone watching Bloomberg over the last few days and noticed Tom Kenne's Homberg while he reports from Davos? It's nice to see a proper quality hat on TV. Poor guys gotten some flack for it though with people making snide remarks about it.

    Hats & Health

    I can understand your apprehension about wearing a hat indoors, but I think your condition precludes the etiquette for hats indoors. Given that most people that wear hats these days wear ball caps and do so wherever they please I think a proper fedora or western hat would not raise too many...

    do you have many friends?

    Well I'm 26, only child, have moved about a good bit, and am married with no kids. My wife is probably my number 1 best friend followed by my college room mate and groomsman in my wedding. We don't see each other more than a couple times a year, but I know if we needed each other we'd be...

    8D Florsheim v cleat v's 8D Nettleton v cleat sizing

    I'm sorry I can't compare them but I will say the Florsheim is fairly full cut. I have a pair in 13C and they are long for me and not real snug width wise. If I had gotten a D like I wear in all other shoes they would have been much too big. I also wish I had gotten a 12.5 but beggars can't...

    Waistcoat question

    I typically button a coat when I stand and unbutton when I sit. Unless I'm doing a good deal of repetitive sitting and standing as in church, I'll just leave it unbuttoned. With a waistcoat I can go either way really it just depends on preference at the time. Here is another question for your...

    JFK's Cavanagh

    Interesting that this came up today. While watching Bloomberg last hour the correspondent made mention to how Kennedy killed the hat in America. Made me groan and shake my head

    Allen Edmonds Big Sky

    I have a few pairs of penny loafers and I love them and wear them often. However, these shoes would basically just be slippers for me. The lining would probably be too warm for me to wear in any other capacity. The shearling lining would be good to wear without socks as it would be warm and...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    I agree that seeing some of the felt colors would be a nice addition to the website. Especially for someone like me who only has one fedora and it being from Art it would have been nice to see some of the colors before I wasted his time with a bunch of questions. Keep doing good work Art, and...

    Do Dogs Really Hate Hats?

    My dog doesn't mind me in a hat, however if I'm not careful while we are in the car I will notice a subtle push on my head with my hat brim in her mouth, haha. She likes to use her mouth the see things

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Art is quite good at putting a hat and ribbon together. I know it comes as no surprise to anyone on here. I just wanted to let everyone know my hat from Art got a few compliments while downtown Saturday evening. Unfortunately the girl behind the counter said she liked my fedora and got her...

    Traditional footwear for duck feet

    Its all about the last, the AE Park Ave is the narrowest and longest last AE makes so naturally it wouldn't fit someone with your feet. Maybe the 3, 7, or 8 last from AE would work better for you. Also, if you can find a pair of vintage Florsheim Imperial shoes you will find they are quite...

    Vintage ways to keep your ears warm?

    I have some 180s that I wore with baseball during college and I still wear them with my fedora on cold days. I agree though that unless you get them on just right they can be quite uncomfortable.

    Alden Casual Chukkas things about pulling the trigger on a pair

    I would almost take a trip out there, you could atleast try on numerous different pairs on different lasts and determine your sizing a little better for future purchases. I did this when I visited NYC; I went to a few different stores and tried on shoes to help determine size and it will help...
