    WTB: Porcelain Tobacco Pipe

    Hey, folks. I've been looking for a tobacco pipe recently, and was wondering if you had one available for sale. The catch is that I'm looking for a porcelain pipe, very similar (in shape and colour) to this Delft pipe that was sold on ebay a while back...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Oddly enough, the backbow reminds me of one on the Knox you sold me, Randooch. Which I still need to stitch back on, haha. Though this ribbon isn't quite so large as the Knox's.

    Portable hathook

    If it's not for commercial purposes, aren't you allowed to make your own version? It seems more like an arts-and-crafts project for DarthBish than an actual commercial venture. I don't see how protection would matter, in that sense, unless he tried to sell it.

    You hunt bears with an AK-47? That sounds hilariously fun. Great first post, and welcome to the Lounge!

    Wow. The company's in my very own city, too. I'm going to have to look at this now. Thanks, John-in-Covina!

    I just asked GiJoe and he says they're called Breeks or Plus Fours. I need to find me one of these. I wonder if modern retailers sell them.

    Does anyone know what the type of mountaineering trousers these gents are wearing is called?

    What are the lightest vintage felt hats out there?

    Side dents! I always wondered what those were called.

    For informational purposes, what do you call the style of bash you're using for the crown?

    So a Homburg is essentially a soft felt fedora shaped like a bowler hat with the brim rolled up, or a softer version of said bowler. Got it.

    Ah, I see. That explains it adequately. My thanks, Yeps. Now, for my last question of the day: I've always wondered, so what is the main difference between a Bowler and a Homburg? Both seem to have the brims fixed in an upward-pointing curl, so I haven't honestly seen much difference between...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140520854511 TEN dollars!?! Seriously? I hope someone here at the Lounge won it. That's a real steal, that is.

    Good answers, both of you. I'll keep both in mind when I perform the deed, haha. What I'm hoping for is some very minor taper from the expansion of the band to the size I wear. Two birds with one stone, really. The reason I asked the second question is I was talking to the hatter in my city...

    Thanks, Lefty. Good to know. Now, a silly question about the order of operation when stretching hats: When using a hat stretcher and steam, is it better to first steam the hat, and then insert the hat stretcher and give the stretcher a twist? Or should I insert the hat stretcher, twist it...

    How popular is the fedora in 2011? Are hats seeing a resurgance finally?

    The Philippines, in general, never really had a history wearing the fedora. Two reasons: Heat and Rain. And not necessarily apart. I mean, when the mark of high fashion is a translucent garment woven from the fibres of a pineapple leaf (barong tagalog, I'm looking at you), it's not hard to see...

    I have a question for custom hat modification. Does stretching a hat using a hat jack or hat stretcher reduce the width of the brim? I recently purchased a stingy brim pork pie 1/8 smaller than the normal size I wear, and was thinking of stretching it a bit to give it a little characteristic...

    Forgive my ignorance, haha. That makes much more sense.

    I wasn't even aware they made hats in 5 1/2. That sounds absolutely... tiny. For a teen or child, I suppose?
