    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    I honestly didn't like where the show was going lately. I think that it will turn around though with the advent of the new agency, although it is very bizarre. I just dont know what are they going to do with everyone they left behind at the old Sterling, they cant just boot off half the...

    Crofut & Knapp Tales

    I highly doubt J.F.K. had a bowler but I'd say you can trick some friends with those initials.

    This "sucks"... the Hoover And Other Vintage Vacuum Cleaners

    JB weld should be able to fix the brace thingy. I've used the product with much success mostly every time. I love watching this thread, I always find it fun to watch something being restored to its former glory. This thread has inspired me to find a vacuum to restore and use!

    VS Transformation

    The new binding and bash make it look really sharp. It looks alot better and set apart now compared to the Indy look.

    First Bespoke Experience

    What strikes me right off the bat is the buttons positions, they look all to close to each other, I think they should be put a half in or 3/4 of an inch outwards of where they are placed.(Look at the photo you posted from a movie as a reference).

    ***SOLD*** 1940's Open Road - 7 5/8

    I'd buy it but it isn't my size. I love the wide ribbon on the Open Road, I'd consider doing it if I ever got one.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Its called Snow. Its looks pure white in the sun but it isn't. I'm going to take a comparison next to a piece of white paper tomorrow to show the color better.

    Post New Hats Here!

    It's as white as it can be without being pure white. I'll take a comparison shot next to a piece of paper soon. Love This: This one strikes me as a hat that both a pimp and a preacher could agree on ;)

    THE MALLORY MILE

    Here is my newly acquired Mallory. It's a 7 3/8 "Twelve-Fifty". It looks like a Cavanagh edge, but its a very well executed underwelt. The bow is box-like but not quite a box bow. Something I haven't seen before is the feather stitched into the hat by a thin thread, could the store selling it...

    Post New Hats Here!

    I'd say mid to late 30's due to the un-reeded sweatband and general proportions and style. I may be completely wrong but It gives off a 30's vibe to me. Anyone else feeling it?

    The Hollywood Waist-

    I know the guys from Tarantula personally. They make some great stuff! I have a jacket from them, love it to death. Haven't gotten a pair of the trousers from them though, sold quite a few though in the past(worked at retailer that stocked their stuff, MyBabyJo). Vintage in my size is easy, 30-34.
