    Post New Hats Here!

    Thanks, all, and thanks Brad for narrowing down the date. I'll give it some time. I'm still on the lookout for a light gray homburg with a black band, but one with a more regular brim treatment (if I ever find one, that is!)

    Does indeed! I guess my hangup is I'm not sure that it suits me. I haven't tried it with a suit yet, maybe it'll look better over a tie.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Picked this up on eBay. '60s Dobbs, I believe. Unfortunately the brim is a lot bigger than it looked like in the auction photos (which made it look like a more subdued homburg curl). Not sure if I should return it or keep it, unless someone here is interested. I contacted a hatter who said...

    Recommendation for homburg brim trim?

    I just got a gray homburg off eBay, and while the crown dimensions are fine, it's got a bit too much brim. It has an unbound edge, and it's a bit too wide and the curl's a bit too deep. I think it would be very nice with a smaller brim, more in proportion with '30s homburgs. It's a Dobbs but...

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    I have a vest with pocket flaps on the lower pockets, and they are a little inconvenient in that the watch chain can get a little hung up. But it's not that big a deal. My guess is it's just a novelty for the look of flaps but still regular pockets which the buyer would have been more familiar...

    Great suit overall but that vest is the best! I really like the details.

    Still available! Very versatile, wear it as a stroller or with gray or cream flannels!

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    You could try using a layer of fabric in between instead of batting, which would act more like an interfacing than batting, so the quilt would have a bit of body without the heat and thickness. Just a thought.

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    There are a huge number of books on quilting techniques, probably more than there are on garment sewing. Plus resources online. I strongly suggest you do just a bit of research into the basic processes (the actual quilting process), because what you describe doesn't sound like a quilt...

    Not quite enough for that. There's 2 1/4" of fabric in the cuff hem, but you couldn't let it down a full 2", there wouldn't be enough to finish the cuff and lining.

    There is plenty of material to let the sleeves down by an inch or inch and a half, the upper two buttons could be moved down and new sham buttonholes made, or functional buttonholes.

    I'm selling my black double breasted stroller jacket as it no longer fits. It's heavy black wool, fully lined, 6x2 front with flap pockets, three inside pockets, no vents, four cuff buttons two of which are functional. Dated 1959. In very good condition. This jacket belonged to the Hon. John...

    1948 Diagonal Weave Tweed 3-piece Suit - size 37-38

    If I was still in the UK I'd jump on this. As it is, the exchange rate and shipping would kill me :( Good luck on the sale, it's a wonderful suit!

    What type of umbrella do you favor?

    I have an old Fox umbrella with a steel tube shaft and wood tip and crook. A very nice umbrella which furls nice and tight, but it needs a new canopy, unfortunately.
