    https://www.ebay.com/itm/183438110310 A fine jacket, just too big for me. Used but in new condition.

    Glenbriar

    In my travels I found a perfect hat, standard early-'60s stingy brim, charcoal fur felt. The brand is new to me: Glenbriar. Can anyone inform me? Thanks.

    Mothproofing (not storage) advice, please

    Among nine fedoras I regularly wear three gray felt ones (and one black felt one) but my favorite is a dark gray Knox still soft like new. Looks good, fits well, and keeps me warm in the winter. I feared it would be moth bait and after about eight months that seems to have happened. (I think it...

    Charcoal gray Borsalino 7¼

    The real thing, purple lining, "Qualità Superiore," and all. I love it but 7¼ is too big for me. Mint condition. Asking price is $65; that covers shipping. Stetson box is $5 extra. Let me know and you can pay me through my PayPal link on my blog. I can send it on the Saturday after payment...

    Keens British

    Found it today. My favorite shape and brim width. A brand I'd never heard of, Keens. Based on the wording inside ("Keens British/Felted in England"), my guess is it was made in the USA of British felt, or in Britain for export, for the middlebrow snob market. If it were trying any harder to be...

    Artwork: the Bonito Motel

    Photoshopped. All three images I used are mine. This is a real place.

    Rockabilly subculture

    Well, what do you know? I'm part of a subculture. At least related to it. The People Still Living Like 1951: Captivating Portraits Look Inside America's Rockabilly Community. The headline's wrong of course. '51 wasn't rockabilly; it was the end of the '40s, a fine time too, like the early...

    Silvertone clock radio

    I'm fairly sure it's from shortly after the war; still looks very art-deco '40s. My guess is very early '50s. Reasons I got it besides being beautiful: the clock and alarm work fine. The radio just buzzes and the the dial doesn't turn all the way to the left.

    My '40s Zenith radio working

    Recently one night on America's East Coast it picked up WGN in Chicago, a super-powerful AM station most of the country can pick up at night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kXY5iSKqVk

    My fake aged A-2

    Not bad for what it is and a bargain. Replacing the zipper, which is costing twice as much as the jacket.

    7 to 7 3/8 fedoras

    Retired/in storage (fragile collectible, wrong size, trial and error or upgraded): Stetson mustard-brown with brown braided leather on it, in box (a freebie, too big: 7 3/8 and I'm a 7); Capas grey with black ribbon, nice yellow, white and black spotted feather and mother-of-pearl-headed pin (I...

    My new old Empire State Milan-weave

    A good go-to I can dress up or down for warm weather.

    Two Philly stores no longer sell good new fedoras (?)

    I have almost all the fedoras I could want but like to see what's out there. Two places I used early on (before discovering the flea-market and big antique-mart bonanza so now almost all my hats are vintage; eight in use, seven old), Hats in the Belfry and another on South Street (run by...

    My home page redone

    High-church libertarian curmudgeon. Just me, a Chrysler and Benny Goodman playing.

    My new old furniture: how old?

    Thanks.

    Improving a cheap fedora

    Saved my Capas, the third fedora I bought, by carefully ironing the pinches, deepening them.

    My bowling bag: please tell me the period

    Any idea when it was made? I know Don Carter was big in the golden era but I suspect this is from the ’70s. If it’s ’60s, wahoo!
