"Dressing Down" a Homburg
Great question Not Bogart I've been wrestling with the Homburg q myself. Love the style, but concerned about how fully dressed I must be to pull it off. In the end, each of us creates our own style I think, and whatever is comfortable and feels right for us in the only way to know. My own... -
Magnoli Clothiers- New Zealand
Has anyone in here ever had experience with Magnoli Clothiers out of New Zealand? They've got a nice web site and seem to create new "vintage" style suits and other clothes for fairly reasonable prices. Just wondering if anyone has tried them; how was the fit and the quality? -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Decisions...decisions I'm waiting to "go on the block" with my second VS. Discussed it with Art already. But everytime I look in here- I see another hat I'd like... Whiskey, Steel, Silver Mist, Granite, Midnight Blue.... Ahhhhhhhh -
need help finding a new hat
Easy for me to spend your money... ...but if want a sharp hat, you'd be well served to have one custom made. There are plenty of custom hat makers available if you poke around in here, but I'm biased towards Vintage Silhouettes/Art Fawcett and Optimo. They're pricey, but worth it. -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
I just got the Dark Moss Sportaire and it's really a much more versatile color than it would seem. It's a dark olive color that's really a classic neutral color. It's almost impossible for a photo online to really show it for what it is. I'm pretty finicky about making hat color work with... -

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
VS Steel After some back and forth with USPS, I got my first work Art Saturday- The Sportaire. Great hat! Worth the wait and anticipation. Now debating my second VS. Poking around the Hall of Fame thread, and seeing tons of great stuff. But I don't see any VS hats in "Steel." Anybody have a... -
Help me handle hat hankerings in a hurry……
Portolan I feel your pain. I too am a bit impulsive. Hats Plus in Chicago is a retailer I've dealt with that actually has hats in stock and may have something that will suit you. I'm sure there are many others as well. You'll be better off looking at what you want on their website, then... -

Help on choosing a hat
I'm a newbie here and others will weigh in I'm sure, but it sounds to me like you should get in line with Art Fawcett of Vintage Silhouettes, or one of the other custom hat makers constantly referenced in the Lounge. If you're into hats, you owe it to yourself to push for the best you can... -

Black Suit
I think GBR makes a good point. The black suit is very normal and acceptable to some people- unthinkable for others. The conservative "Dress for Success" crowd find it suitable only for the deeply religious. Certain businesses like banking, insurance and finance may well frown on it. Out... -
self-concious in my fedora
I'm new enough FL and wearing hats to weigh in here. I found that it takes a couple of weeks of consistent wearing to get your "hat legs." Like a couple of other posts here, I only wear my fedoras when fully dressed up. It IS going to call extra attention to you so it's important you're not...
