THANK-YOU MATT!!!!
Just bought mine today, and they are fantastic!
The saleswoman in the Troy store started talking about you... "A man found an old pair of these, and the CEO saw them. He saw to it they were refurbished, and then the style was added to the new lineup." I told her that I...
My latest acquisition, a beautiful new pair of Allen Edmonds' Strawfut spec's. Many thanks to Matt Deckard for getting the ball rolling to have these added to their line-up!
For your consideration is a 1920's Borsalino fu Lazzaro, size 7 1/8. It's a milk white felt, with a black ribbon. The sweatband is original. When I purchased it, the felt was extremely dusty, to the point that it coated the fingers with powder. After over an hour of extensive brushing, most...
To be entirely honest with you, Rick (and please take this advice as friend-to-friend), I say this is a bad idea. The hat collector in me says not to do it, and the hat wearer in me says not to do it. From a historian's perspective, you will ruin the originality of the hat because alterations...
I'd be curious to know how a vintage Adam would be compared to a modern production hat. (Without the whole 'vintage is better than modern' debate that is beat to death around here.) I own a 30's or 40's Adamajestic; the felt feels about the same as a Royal Stetson, although the fur seems a...
My best: I am insightful about the world, its issues; and I can see what makes others tick, both good and bad. It's a weird knack I have of being able to read people.
My worst: I am very insecure about myself, which I try and compensate for by trying to seek attention. I'm loud, wordy, and...
You'd need to ask Aureliano about that... Although some parts of the sweat have a slight discoloration, as if there was a stretcher pushing against it. I sent it to him and let him work his magic.
Lovely Mossant, Robert.
This is a 50's Knox I found in just about NOS shape at an antique store. It was originally a 6 7/8, stained, dirty, and smelly. I sent it to Aureliano, who was kind enough to resize, reblock, clean, and reflange the brim. It's now in excellent shape, with a slightly lower crown (which...

Was in a bit of a rush earlier...

Thanks for all of the advice, guys. :) I didn't actually intend for this to become a 'Help Fluteplayer With Dating' thread, not out of arrogance--quite to the contrary in fact-- but so that I don't clutter up the archives with my personal life. More for me to double check my conceptions with...
We've known each other for a few years, and while we're good friends, we're not much more. But I don't want to be a putz, invite her out to lunch, and then mess up etiquette. The way I have been told, a courteous man pays for the lady no matter what the weight of the friendship is. I was just...
