Johnny Depp's Latest Hat...
If I had a hat like the one most recently quoted in post #71, I would certainly wear it with certain outfits. It's beautiful in it's own way. That's a hat that looks like it's got a story to tell. But I've only been wearing fedoras for less than a decade. So none of my hats look like that. Yet... -
Diamond point bow ties
For me it depends on how wide the "bow" is cut. Most of mine, I tie so that the "north and south" points on the front part of the bow line up with the points on the back part, just like a regular bow tie. A couple of my diamond points are cut with the bow a bit wider, and I think they do look a...- Lt.Tom

The Shaving Soap Controversy
Mt favorites right now are Speick, Proraso and TOBS Eton College. Yeah the folks that bought the Old Spice name have definitely changed the formula of it. There is a company in India that is making a clone of the original that is supposed to be pretty good, but I've never tried it myself...- Lt.Tom

The International Wool Felt Consortium
Bowlerman; I've been very curious about those "Murino" hats. Obviously, they are not a fur felt hat, but how do they compare to other wool hats you've worn? It would be nice to see better quality wool hats developed, but I just havent been able to bring myself to pay the price for a Murino to... -

For me step #8 in the above sequence was the "magic step". The vid that explained that one step best for me was this one; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEjF-MzzqaE- Lt.Tom

Not sure I could narrow it down to 10 favorites. This VS (Pretty sure it was Lefty's) is always near the top, though; -
What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?
I was taught never to fiddle with the radio while driving a car. Wait for a stop light. This was at a time when the radio was really the only thing in the car to distract you. (Unless you had a date in the car) I am completely horrified by the inclusion as standard equipment of any sort of touch...- Lt.Tom

Are you ever tired of explaining why you live or dress the way you do?
I wear a uniform during the day, 6 days a week. When off work, at 50 years old I still lived mostly in t-shirts and cargo shorts. Now, my father never left the house without a collared shirt on. The man mowed the lawn in a collared shirt. My generation had dropped the ball. Just a couple of...- Lt.Tom

Your fedora vs you're wearing a fedora + there, they're & their....
Tealseal; You're correct on that. Since I moved to the south, I've found myself using "y'all" quite a bit. It makes sense to me. Some of the local language I will never use, though. I may be "preparing to do something", or "getting ready to do something", but I will never be "fixin' to do... -

Your fedora vs you're wearing a fedora + there, they're & their....
Oh, I don't mind a little fun at my expense. It bothers me that I don't know, so I was really hoping for an answer to the question. Until I find out I'll restructure my sentences to avoid having to know. I'm wondering what it says about the state of education in the US that after doing well all... -
Your fedora vs you're wearing a fedora + there, they're & their....
Obviously not. And isn't much more entertaining to make fun of someone, rather than dignify their question with an answer? -
Your fedora vs you're wearing a fedora + there, they're & their....
hatsRme I think maybe technically you're correct. While we're pondering technicalities, is it improper then, to call it a fedora's liner, or a fedora's brim? I'm asking without a trace of sarcasm, as grammer was not really my best subject. -
whats everyones opinion on 100%wool fedora's?
I've got a few wool hats that I bought back when I was trying to decide what shape I liked, and wanted a range of inexpensive hats. I still wear them as often as I wear my fur felt hats. People kept telling me to buy vintage hats instead. I discovered that before 1965 there were apparently only... -

Bow Ties
Looking sharp, Max. I always try to do the best possible job tying my tie, but I try not to get too carried away looking for perfection. A little imperfection lets people "in the know" know that you tied it yourself. Everyone else is going to assume it's a clip-on anyway unless they see it...- Lt.Tom

belt buckle position and the keepers. Is this correct?
I would typically be in the buckle-in-the-center symetrical camp, and not at all agree with Baron about wearing it off-center. But now I'm going to say it depends on what you are wearing. Dressed casually like in the above picture, Baron is right that it is only off-center enough to look like...- Lt.Tom

Which word for sweater do you prefer?
:cool:Nice hat Dude; Ha! They seem to call them jerseys in the stores now, but I was brought up calling it a sweater. Of course as of the time I was born, goalies weren't even wearing masks yet, and official NHL sweaters looked like they were knit by their moms............... Anyway as lucky...- Lt.Tom
