    Do you find the lining gets dirty easily? If so, how do you clean it?

    Allen Edmonds Big Sky

    I found a pair of these pretty well discounted, and I like these shoes for reasons I cannot adequately explain, but I've never owned a pair of mocs and I'm not even sure if I would wear them enough to justify the purchase. I'm thinking they'd be good for the occasional garden party...

    That Saddleback overnight is gorgeous. I think it just made my long-long term list.

    Glad somebody has a knife. Also, is that an Oris?

    How much for a boater? Success! And pictures.

    Tag says 7 3/8ths, and it's a little loose on my 7 1/2 LO head. I'm planning on holding on to the ribbon if I swap it out. Let me know when you find your boater and you can take it off my hands. Not sure, my crown looks a little shorter. Style wise, they're essentiall the same hat, though I...

    How much for a boater? Success! And pictures.

    A good stiff brush took most of the bad dust off. I may go at it with canned air later, but it looks pretty good now. The next step is to find a different ribbon.

    How much for a boater? Success! And pictures.

    Success! Offered $20 and he took it. Step one is to clean it. Is water okay, or should I just dry brush it? Step two is to replace the rbbon with something a little less severe. Probably blue and red. Thank you Tomasso and 57Plymouth for your help and advice.

    How much for a boater? Success! And pictures.

    May I ask what brand it was and in what condition? If this were a felt hat, I would be able to estimate a value on my own, but I have zero experience with boaters. What are the traits of a good boater? What should I look out for?

    $20 sounds like a good place to start haggling. Thanks for the tip.

    How much for a boater? Success! And pictures.

    Hey gents. I found a boater that actually fit me today, and since it has no price tag I get to make them an offer. How much does your average vintage boater go for? There doesn't seem to be anything special about it; it's a Resistol, in good shape with no holes or breaks that I could find, and...

    Short brim vs. wide brim fedora

    While I can't deny that small brims can be very classy on the right person, they do nothing for my gigantic head. I can't really pull off anything under 2.5"

    Multiple Monte Cristi's

    Why not? One lower-quality for knocking about on sunny days, picknicking, going to the beach, etc, and one high-quality for when you need a knockout straw hat (tropical wedding?).

    Is there such a thing

    As a person who doesn't wear pure white dress shirts unless necessary, I'd say there is such thing as too many and in my experience that number is anywere above three. And that's only so you can have collar options.

    Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds

    It is different enough from his other movies that you may well like it, and Pitt isn't given enough screen time to be annoying so his character turns out being very likeable! :p The things to look forward to are the dialogue and the suspense, which play a larger role than the other Tarantino...
