    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Got it off of an etsy seller in England and went back and forth 3 times with their measurements and a measuring tape. Then had my wife take my measurements to make sure. I had been looking for a coat for about 2 weeks and had short listed 6 (down from 12) when I saw this one come up and...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    I think overall it fits well, not as well as on the mannequin perhaps, but not to poorly. Here are some quick snaps after my weekly trip to the local record shop pardon the mirror distortion.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Got dressed to go out for dinner earlier this evening. Decided to steam a pinch into the Dobbs to see how it looked. I think I like it! Sorry for the mirror pic.:confused:

    The wrist watch.

    I fell for the simple, clean, classic styling of the dial design of this Seiko. The fact that it's a mechanical movement was a big plus. Didn't care for the metal link bracelet it came with so I swapped that for a leather strap.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Charcoal stingy Biltmore Royal today. My first hat bought new in the early 90's. Recently had a shop take it in for a reblocking, new sweat and new ribbon. They absolutely butchered it, and that spurred me on to learning how to do it myself so that I could make it wearable again. It's not all...

    The Dobbs Diner...

    Definitely a Dobbs of more recent vintage than most of those posted, but my first with the Dobbs name on it and still a very nice hat, if I do say so myself.

    Wow! What a smashing colour combination. I love the edge treatment on that brim, and such sharp, clean lines and silhouette. Lovely, lovely hat!

    Already posted a couple of times in the What Hat Are You Wearing Today thread, but I figure I'd take the time to introduce myself here. My name is Charles (Chas is easier to type though, so there's that out of the way). I live in Ontario, Canada (so my spelling may look a little odd to you...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Don't know if it's preferred or not, but the first pic was the hat on my desk in my classroom, so here is a pic of my reflection in the bathroom mirror wearing it. And yes I wear jacket and tie everyday, usually with a waistcoat (vest), however I almost never wear a suit.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    The size thing is kinda funny. The first fedora I ever bought was brand new in the early 90's from the last Jewish Haberdasher on Spadina Ave in Toronto. He was in his 80's and I had my hair much longer than I do now. He spent a good 2 hours with me and I came away with a dark charcoal Biltmore...

    Last pic was one too many I guess. Here it is, the under sweat tag.

    Ok well, here are some pics of the liner with size tag, and what's on the sweat, and lastly the only label under the sweat.

    Thanks, glad you like it. Wish I could pinpoint a rough idea of how old it is, but after reading everything I can find my best guess is anywhere between the late 60's to now. Glad I inspired you to figure out how to type fractions!
