    Panama Hat Thread

    No worries. Like I said, it's hard to tell without tone and body language. I wish someone would give me a good scolding, I need to quit wasting time here and get some stuff done!

    Panama Hat Thread

    My apologies. I'll try to search more before I start a new thread. I read a few of the older threads and I'm sold on Bob from reading people's comments! I just wanted to hear why one over the other and give Bob a chance to extol the virtues of his products and service. I'm sorry if that's...

    Everyday casual leather shoes

    So I dropped a bill on these Rockports from zappos.com: I got them yesterday and they're some really nice shoes. They seem to be very good quality despite being china-made. They feel great, the look is pretty much what I was going for (30s-40s), but they're about a size too big so back...

    Dress Like the Great Depression!

    Here's an observation: In that era more people were from a rural/farming background on top of everyone being broke. People didn't want to go out in public looking like an overalled hick, which would have been very easy. Perhaps they needed prove that some decent clothes were atleast within...

    Panama Hat Thread

    Summer is coming - how about another panama hat thread??? I've been in the drawing for a free panama hat from panama hats direct for a year now. I think it's obvious my name will only get drawn after I buy one. :D Is panama-hats-direct still a good place to deal with? I think I'll get...

    Help finding my first hat

    Dang this thread looks broken. Well if this post gets washed up on a beach somewhere be it known that fedora lounger's made a great reccomendation. My Jaxon Bogart is probably the best article of clothing I own. It looks great, like a real hat and not just a fad, fits great, and it's nice for...

    What to do with a dark olive double breasted jacket

    I went back to get it the other day and on closer inspection, words such as 'polyester' and 'china' stood out. I also noticed flecks of orange, pink, and all kinds of crazy stuff in the weave. It was actually a lighter puke green than the dark olive I remembered it as. Oh well, I'm slowly...

    What to do with a dark olive double breasted jacket

    A local vintage clothing store has a dark olive double breasted jacket that actually fits me. It's modern and I think 60% acrylic and about $8. I'd like to get it but I can't match clothes for crap so I don't know if any slacks would go with it. So what color slacks if any would go with a...

    Help finding my first hat

    Thanks everyone for your help, I can't wait until my hat gets here. A couple questions that occurred to me: What about hair goo? If I've got pomade or brylcreem or hair tonic in, will it jack up my hat? Let me make sure I've got this straight...grab it by the crown to take it off/put it...

    Help finding my first hat

    I ended up ordering the fur felt Bogart. I had to rob 50 bucks from my other toy funds to tell myself it was costing me less than $30. I need to stay away from this place. :D

    How to do It: Stiff Starch Grandma's Way

    Did this thread originally have pictures? I'm not seeing any, and my imagination is set on low today. :( Is it OK to use this process on colored shirts or will they look all white and chalky from the starch?

    Help finding my first hat

    Well dang, I had my mind all made up and thunderw21 goes and confuses me again. It's between these two: http://www.villagehatshop.com/jaxon_bogart_lrg.html http://www.villagehatshop.com/jaxon-crushable-c-crown-fedora.html So it's wool vs. fur felt. What exactly are the pros and cons...
