    Suit Question

    Dickies regular work pants have fairly high waists. Very comfortable, but not the most formal article of clothing available.

    What to look for in bespoke vs off-the-rack suits?

    Since a made-to-measure suit was technically made for that customer, it's possible the maker included a personalized tag. I suppose if an off the rack retailer were fancy enough they might also do something similar.

    Akubra Overload

    Those Feds are such handsome hats. Warmentrout, do you think the color in that picture is accurate, or a little light?

    Hat Shops in Bay Area...

    Not sure if it would count as it's not a dedicated hat shop, but Wilkes Bashford has an excellent men's hat selection, both felt and straw.

    Does Anyone Like Simple Coloured Outfits?

    I'm not sure if this is by design or chance, but my suits are all dark and simple, while my odd jackets and sportcoats are generally more colorful. I think I prefer more subdued suits and clothing in general. If I want to be flashy, I'll usually do it with a tie.

    Determining which hat is right?

    There are guidelines, but I think it really boils down to what you think looks best on you and what you find most comfortable. Some of those pesky guidelines: http://www.villagehatshop.com/facts_faces.html http://www.millerhats.com/hatcare_index/hatfaces.html

    Best of Moderns that might compare to vintage

    Are you asking if Akubra uses different felts for different hats, the answer is yes. With regards to Akubra only, most of their hats are fairly stiff, so they're at home in rough conditions and inclement weather. Others, like the Sydney and Stylemaster, are softer and lighter. They conform more...

    Travelling Akruba

    I don't own one, but by all accounts it is a very durable hat. If the felt and construction are anything like my Campdraft, it should be able to handle travel quite well so long as you don't plan on rolling it up for great lenghths of time.

    What are you called?

    Oh, my god. I have to go edit my facebook profile. :eusa_clap I am normally averse to giving myself categories and titles, but this could work. As for things that other people call me, most are not appropriate or have been covered by Diamondback's earlier post.

    What is your next VS?

    I guess it would be my first, I'm thinking of a whiskey 2.5" brim, 5.5" open crown and a black ribbon with red and silver accents on the bow. Sort of a custom Akubra Sydney.

    "Vintage Style Toaster"

    Does the Manhattan have any logos or branding on the other side? If not, I would choose it.

    Does crushable mean packable?

    After demonstrating a Borsalino's ability to roll into the cone-shape shown above, a hat salesman told me that it was not advisable to do it often. Crushable is a pretty vague term, and hats that are capable of being rolled for travel are usually advertised as such.

    Some vintage photos of Dublin workers

    Any ideas as to what color this gentleman's tie would be? It looks silver, but for all I know it could be grey, blue, white, etc. What would be a common tie color for a man of this class/profession? Thanks

    Hopefully this isn't too far off topic, but what do you have in mind? It's okay if it is secret.
