    Pocketwatches

    Thanks for the replies. I just picked it up from the watchmaker a couple of hours ago. He serviced it and then kept it for a few days to check the accuracy. It's keeping perfect time. He estimated it to have been created around 1900 to 1905, which is a little earlier than I initially...

    Also, since the watch is in the pocket and only the chain is exposed - is it a big "no no" to wear a silver chain with a gold watch?

    Great advice. Is it appropriate to wear a pocket watch in the jacket pocket behind a pocket square or would it be too busy with pocket square, chain, and watch all there together?

    I think ya'll are right. I think it will just take a little time to get used to a larger fedora since I've been wearing hats with shorter brims and smaller crowns. It sure is a nice hat though.

    My new Akubra

    Great looking hat. I have the same hat except in grey (moonstone). I'll also say David Morgan was great to deal with. I ordered it on Christmas Eve and only had a very short delay because of it. I'm still tinkering with my bash and trying to get accustomed to the high crown. That hat looks...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The last two I saw in the theater were No Country For Old Men and Charlie Wilson's War. The last two I watched, or re-watched, were two perfect for The Fedora Lounge - The Untouchables and LA Confidential. I just bought the DVD for each.

    Pocketwatches

    Good info. I thought I would be able to pick up the watch today, but the watchmaker left it in the safe at the jewelry store and he won't be back there until Wednesday. I'm looking for a nice chain to wear. The one I currently have is a cheap one that once was gold tone plated and it has all...

    Thanks for the input. It could be that I've grown accustomed to wearing smaller hats and it will just take a little while to adjust. I'll tinker with it some and see what happens. Thanks again. Mike

    Honestly, my digital camera just died. No more AA batteries in the house. Figures. I'll try again later when I can get the camera operating again. From what you've seen do you think there is something I can or should change? I can't decide myself.

    Ok, got a couple of quick pictures. It doesn't look as bad to me in the pictures. Also, any ideas about the brim or does it look ok? [/IMG] [/IMG]

    I love my new grey Akubra squatter and I love the "bash" I put on it (see picture). However, I thought the crown looked a little high on my head. My wife, who is often wrong:D , told me that the crown looked too big for me and that it looked like I was wearing somebody else's hat. You can see...

    Another New Member - Hello

    Thanks fellas. If this place is crawling with cops then we have a forum full of people who can barely afford to buy nice hatslol Oh well, I'll continue to set aside a small portion of my enormous income for my hat collection.

    My "new" pocket watch I saw a similar thread posted by Orgetorix and I thought I would share a similar one. I received this Hamilton pocket watch for Christmas this year. It belonged to my great-grandfather who carried it with him everyday to work as a crane operator at Anderson Tully Lumber...

    Has anyone seen the new issue of GQ?

    In that same issue did anyone catch their brief article on three piece suits and the way they should fit. It seems to go against what is recommended on this board and others. For example it said that the vest should not extend past the belt and the pants should rest on the hips. Can't say I...
