    Fitting matters

    Hats off to Matt! Matt - I've learned a lot by reading your posts. And you are right again. It is a rarity when a salesman has even the remotest clue as to the fit I am looking for (proper). But, I'm paying... so I get what I want anyway;)

    DB suit particulars

    A new summer suit Just picked this one up in Chicago... not very vintage, but I love wearing a light suit in summer. This one is a silk and wool blend, three button, creme colored summer suit. Sorry about the lighting... didn't realize it was so bad until after I imported the pic. The hat is...

    Could this be a sign as to the Return of the Hat?

    I love any thread that leads to: "Yeah - let's hope Walmart hats are like gateway drugs" [huh] The Lounge - such a cool place!

    My first custom-made fedora!

    I talked to Duane from The Fedora Store some weeks back, and had a Beaver Brand Heritage model made up to my specifications. Well, it arrived yesterday - WOW! I have never had a hat custom-made before, and all I can say is I LOVE IT. Here is a pic of my wife and I leaving on our date, with me...
