    Belt back for someone?

    Hmmm. Not sure I agree with it, being a part of many other small communities of collectors. Generally I find that availability of desirable items is a far bigger factor than the price. That said, I now understand why the link was deleted. Thanks. - Steve

    Belt back for someone?

    Good point, but sharing information is rather essential in a free market economy, don't you think? I'd rather 'pay' for the knowledge of a nice piece, than miss it altogether. - SteveN

    Buying a Panama in the USA

    Greetings All, I'm going to be in the USA on a business trip taking me to L.A., Phoenix, Dallas, Atlanta and New York in late October & early November. Can anyone recommend a hat shop in any of these places to pick up a top quality Panama hat? Any make/brand will do, as long as it's of...

    The Acquisition of a Linen Suit in Australia

    Darn. Land's End doesn't seem to be selling the linen pants any longer. Does anyone know where to get a matching jacket/pants in linen? Like the original poster, I'm about to go through the hot Australian summer. Regards, - SteveN

    Putting it all together

    It would be very interesting to read one of these old company dress codes (I'd like to see IBM's ;-) Has anyone ever run across one? - SteveN

    Shops of interest in Hobart, Australia

    Wow. Now that's a coincidence. I've been living in Hobart for a while, but commuting to Sydney. It looks like I'll be moving back at the end of the year. Not sure what to recommend, but certainly will be looking once down there. Regards, - SteveN

    Getting out-fitted in Melbourne, Australia

    Sydney Markets I decided to try the markets yesterday and went to Rozelle and Glebe. Rozelle definitely has more 'vintage' items, including clothes. Glebe was selling mostly modern goods but at (probably) a cheaper price than you'd get in the stores. In both locations, menswear was few and far...

    First Hat Wearing Experience

    Gentlemen, I would like to say, amongst an appreciative audience, that I'm surprised it's taken so long for me to understand the hat wearing experience. I'll spare the details, but I was recently told to have no sun exposure, and that includes wearing a hat. This wasn't the end of the...

    Getting out-fitted in Melbourne, Australia

    Benny, Thanks for the tip. I found your earlier post about Ron Bennett here: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=27094 and stopped by their CBD store today. There were having a sale for the end of the financial year, but all of the suits were by Hugo Boss, or a Georgio...

    Getting out-fitted in Melbourne, Australia

    Warning: Thread Hijack Alert... It's Sydney Again Given how hard it's going to be to find true vintage in Sydney, can anyone recommend vintage style (but modern production) up here? I really need a sport coat or vintage looking blazer. Cheers, - SteveN [Australia is too small to have...

    Fedora at the Beach

    Does anyone else think that a Fedora (or other fur hat) looks funny at the beach, even if the weather is cool? I'm likely moving to Manley, and while over there just felt (no pun intended) a bit odd. Same for Fedora and shorts. To me, if it's warm enough for shorts, it's warm enough for a...

    Packing a Hat for Travel

    Greetings, Does anyone have any recommendations for packing a hat for travel? From what I understand, high-quality Panama hats can be rolled (and possibly placed in a tube), which sounds like a great way to go. What about fur hats? I travel, long distances, a lot and, depending on the...

    Getting out-fitted in Melbourne, Australia

    I stopped by The Vintage Clothing Shop on my way home today. Nice selection of women's clothes, but not too much in the way of menswear. A few coats from the 60's-70's, all in good condition, but pricey, as MissS said. Nice selection of dinner jackets though, if you're looking for one. The...

    Getting out-fitted in Melbourne, Australia

    Huh. I was wondering the same thing about Sydney! After several years in Melbourne I am, today, relocating to Sydney. As I mentioned in an earlier thread: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=31109 I know some outstanding tailors in Asia, so all we need is a few copies for...

    Bespoke Vintage Suit

    Gentlemen, Greetings. I'm new here, but have long had a fascination for things old & stylish. I'm entering a career phase where I need to dress up, and loving the old styles, would like to find some vintage suits. Unfortunately, in my neck of the woods, vintage clothing stores are hard to...
