    Optimo Fur Felt Fedora 7 5/8 Black for sale

    To shrink it, just toss it in the dryer on high.

    Help for someone relatively new to the suit world

    Hmm... while I've seen pictures of these suits of course, now I'm wondering how they would look. While I do look good in a fedora (or so the ladies have told me), I'm not sure a huge lapel would work for me. I like my fedoras because (IMHO) there is a timeless quality to them, and while I like...

    Help for someone relatively new to the suit world

    Should I measure myself or go to (say) Men's Wearhouse or Jos Bank to have them measure me?

    Help for someone relatively new to the suit world

    For years I had one suit; a charcoal one from Jos A. Bank that was used for special occasions only. It's now close to 20 years old (more of a statement of how often I wore it vs. the quality of the suit.) I now want to get suits that - to be honest - match my hats. Specifically two Akubra...

    Help a guy out - what's a good Akubra?

    Hi, So I have a few Akubras. I have a Sydney/Fedora in charcoal, and a Stylemaster in Regency Fawn. I find the latter color very versatile as it goes well with khakis, and also with green-ish shirts. Now I'd like a color that would go well with my blue shirts. Do you think the 'moonstone...

    Shave of the Day

    I have been trying to use up all the cream samples that I have accumulated over the two years that I've been wetshaving. Today I started into a sample of Taylor of Old Bond Street's Jermyn Street, their "sensitive" shaving cream. It's quite nice, like the other TOBS creams. I thought it would...

    Maui Jim is it a good Sunglasses brand ?

    To those with MJ... which model do you have? I've been looking at the rimless. (The 'rectangular' lenses look good on me.) I'm also looking at some Tom Fords. I haven't seen many reviews, but I have yet to hear any negative things about anything TF makes.

    Simple question. Panama Bob straw (prob. Cuenca) vs. Akubra Capricorn. I generally get that the Capricorn is more resistant to rain and may be a bit more durable. Other pluses/minuses?

    Have they been in the past? What kind of "style" would you describe the Campdraft as?

    The Heritage? I saw it, it seems like the Heritage grade has been used for other hats. What do people think of the difference vs. the normal felt?

    That looks like it. I think DM has some hats that they just distribute but don't sell in the store. A trip to Portland may be in order! Now I just have to create a plausible reason for the SO and I to go to that part of Portland ("Oh look honey, a hat store!") The Mid-Brown is very nice. I...

    Hmmm, I went to David Morgan's storefront last week and they had the Stylemaster in a brown shade, darker than yours. It does go well with khakis as it's earth tone, I'll admit. (By the way if you are ever in Seattle, dropping by their store is a treat. Lots of hats and other accessories...

    Where can I get a light-colored fedora? Like khaki colored. I have one in earth tone already - brown - but I was thinking that I'd like a hat that matches the pants I almost always wear. I don't see Akubra carrying anything like this, except the Traveler. There are straw hats of course...

    Sunglasses that work well with a Fedora?

    A few questions: Should the color of the shades match the hat? I have charcoal and brown (acorn or fawn depending on the site) fedoras, and was wondering if I should wear amber shades with the brown hat and black with the charcoal? I was thinking about aviators, though I do like the...

    Edwin Jagger DE89, Gillette Silver Blue (good combo of mild razor and sharp blade) Rooney 3/1 Super (a terrific all-purpose brush) TOBS Avocado Floid Blue (really nice during warmer weather, and goes well with cologne as the scent fades quickly) Guerlain Vetiver

    Achieving the Indiana Jones look...without looking in costume??

    Odd. It was actually the first time I've worn that combo, and the first meeting of the day. Luckily I have a nice trenchcoat that does go well with the fedora and doesn't give me the IJ look.

    Achieving the Indiana Jones look...without looking in costume??

    I inadvertently wore my (charcoal) Akubra Sydney with my (black) leather jacket. Someone said I looked like IJ, even though nothing else matched. I won't be wearing that combination again!
