    Snapping a Straw Brim

    Just got a new Stetson Retro Panama and I want to put a little more snap in the front of the brim. What's the best way to do that with straw? I'll post some pics in the new hat thread when I have it the way that I want it.

    Fed IV v. Fed IV Deluxe

    I'm almost positive there has been a thread on this, but I can't find it, so . . . I ordered a moonstone Fed IV last night. I debated whether I should get the "regular" or the deluxe. I want an everyday hat, so I couldn't justify $40 for the smoother finish. I'm on back order, so I could...

    Time to start looking for a new straw hat or two, so I'm looking for opinions on who is the best online straw hat retailer. If it makes any difference, I'm looking for a fedora style. 2 1/2 brim, 4 1/2 crown, teardrop shape.

    Sock Suggestions

    My wife and I hit a new (for us) thrift store today and I got a great peach linen shirt and a pair of chestnut Florsheim's. As I thought, these go well with a pair of light gray slacks, a mid-gray fedora and a brown belt. Both of the grays have blue tones in them. The hat is darker than the...

    Vintage Question

    Does anyone have an idea how old this suit might be? It's a tweed pinstripe. The only tag that I can find on it reads, "David George Collection - Roma, Paris, New York, London." Lining reads, "David George." I bought it from another Lounger, who bought it at a thrift store. It might be custom made.

    I met a potential new client yesterday. He and I had spoken over the phone and exchanged emails. He had talked to some other people about me and I had done the same about him, etc. But this was our first meeting. He's a businessman, thinking of running for office for the first time. Complete...

    Dressing up or down?

    My wife and I live in Nashville. I'm a political consultant and she's an artist, so we get invited to events with people in all sorts of different fields. I'm sure most cities are this way, but in Nashville, every segment seems to have its own way of designating the attire for events. For...

    Akubra Delays

    Just got word from Everything Australian today that my new Stylemaster won't be shipped until at least next week. I ordered it on January 5, and have been promised that it will ship "next week" since. EA says the delay is coming from Akubra having been "off on break." Anyone else have Akubra...

    Suggestions requested

    I want a gray hat, probably lighter shade. Teardrop crown. Probably a 2 1/4" brim, maybe 2 1/2". I'm looking to spend under $100, but I might be willing to go over that. Suggestions?

    Crushable or not?

    Starter questions I just started getting into hats about six months ago and have purchased seven. Couple of general questions: My wife says that black hats are too dressy for everyday wear. Thoughts? I prefer the feel of a crushable felt hat. What are the pros and cons of crushable vs...
