    NYC Garment District

    The assumption seems to be that condos are coming in because the fashion industry is leaving, which is not really the case. The unrestricted inflation of real estate in NYC routinely drives generations-old businesses from their traditional neighborhoods. The wholesale fashion businesses just...

    Source of James Spader's hats {The Blacklist}

    You should look into Bencraft - they're in NYC but are the largest Borsalino dealer in the US, I believe. They could probably tell you over the phone which hat you're looking for - I'd wager you won't be the first one asking for it. They're fine to order from, but it's a nice excuse for a trip...

    Stetson Stratoliner Milan {modern}

    Yes, I agree, the photo and video I saw on the Delmonico website clearly shows a softer, flimsier straw, with a cloth (von Bauer?) sweat band that can be rolled. It looks nothing like the hat in RClark's post. RClark, did your hat come from the Stetson outlet? TommyK, does your hat have a...

    Stetson Stratoliner Milan {modern}

    TommyK, how do you like the 47, overall quality, etc.? What is the sweat band like, and is the brim 2-3/4 as advertised? PS your photo of the hat looks much better than the product photos I've seen...

    So whats so horrible about the new Stetsons anyway?

    After reading these latest comments, I guess I'm a Wanderer fan as well. I had a raw-edge Chatham in sage that developed a wavy brim. I had tonal edge binding and 1" ribbon added, seems like it has the general appearance of the Wanderer now. I'm pondering something similar to a new Whippet I...

    Akubra Capricorn Review

    If the shop offered to take it back and you're unhappy with the hat, I'm not sure what the issue is - why not return it? It sounds like you're receiving good customer service. Saying it shouldn't have happened in the first place may be true, but it doesn't fix the hat. There's no way the shop...

    Akubra Capricorn Review

    Did you order this hat through a local retailer? If so, and you're not happy with the quality, can't it be returned? If they won't take it back, shame on them and you might try to contact Akubra directly to complain about them and see if they will help you. My two polystraws made it all the way...

    Akubra Capricorn Review

    Thanks, that's interesting. Then there is the other white Akubra polystraw, the Country Club, although that name seems self-explanatory.

    French cuff question

    Ah interesting, thanks very much for this picture, I feel moderately vindicated. This points up an issue I've found. You see how the overlap is done - it's reversed compared to a standard button cuff, i.e. the underside of the cuff is on top. When nesting a French cuff as A.J. suggested, this...

    Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!

    I love this fuzzy Knox, and it's an unusual color combo that I don't have. Is this a bona fide offering, or just a concept car?

    Stetson Brewster review

    Vintage is great, but for big-heads, they are 'rara avis,' oft sought, seldom found. The standard Stetson profile 10 teardrop is a beautiful thing, and luckily suits me perfectly. If it does you as well, then so be it, and no need to apologize. The Brewster was a wonderful lid, and I often...

    Shirts' collar.

    I believe Chris is right, in the US I always see these called camp collars, I suppose because they appear on camp shirts, e.g.: Common silk camp shirt Also see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_collar I imagine that terminology in the UK is different.

    French cuff question

    Thanks AC, I think I'll give the nested cuffs a try. I also like the idea of double-button links, I may have a go at making myself a set. To tell the truth, this is all likely an academic-only discussion, I doubt anyone notices how I'm joining my cuffs. One of the reasons I like silk knot...

    French cuff question

    I may have found answers to my own question, depending on how much I decide I believe in Wikipedia: From the 'Cuff' entry: Link cuffs, which have buttonholes on both sides and are meant to be closed with cufflinks or silk knots. They are most commonly fastened in either the "kissing" style...
