    Alas, I don't have first hand experience with Jos. A. Bank clothes, I just saw the sale listing.

    Fedorafest III Stratoliner from Stetson

    Ah, very good, thanks for info, I didn't realize the CD brim was that large. Good point about the FF3 being a prototype, too.

    Fedorafest III Stratoliner from Stetson

    OK, thanks, I should have known that - by the way, is the brim of your FF3 a true 2-3/4"? It looks to be a little smaller than the brim on the Camp Draft.

    Fedorafest III Stratoliner from Stetson

    Lucky dog --- I have no vintage silver belly, as my luck at finding large hats of any kind is minimal. Hey GTDean, what is a 'CB', and don't tell me it's a kind of radio from the 70s.....

    Fedorafest III Stratoliner from Stetson

    The current production Strat has a factory block and a 2-1/2" brim. The FF3 hat being talked about here has an open crown, 2-3/4" brim and (it seems) a higher quality sweatband.

    Fedorafest III Stratoliner from Stetson

    Others will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the point is that the original Stratoliner issued by Stetson actually came with a DC-3 pin, in spite of the name of the hat. So this new version is meant to duplicate the original hat, including a hatpin with an incorrect plane depicted. There's...

    Another 'yes' to the DC-3 pin. And put me down for a couple of these while you're at it, that is if the fates align.....

    FS summer straws sz61-62

    The color sounds good, but the brim is far too wide for me - sorry 'bout that, the bow looks really nice.

    FS summer straws sz61-62

    Hi Dan - what's the brim width on that second hat? Also, I'm having trouble figuring out the colors of the straw and ribbon. Thanks, Carl

    BRAND NEW!!! Art Fawcett VS Milan Straw...

    Yep, that's a Milan weave, and a sweet-looking lid. Thankfully it's two sizes too small so I don't have a tough choice to make....

    Gorgeous Old Knox Stingy w/underwelt Brim 6 7/8

    Nice lid, although regrettably very small. FWIW, it is a stingy-brim fedora with a center dent crease and an underwelt brim, not a homburg. If you can change the listing title to describe the hat more accurately, you will do better with the sale.

    Suit Wearing Guidelines?

    ^^^ excellent explanation Doc. I have a modern overcoat that is just a little too loosely woven. It's fine, even on very cold days, unless a strong wind picks up - then it quickly loses effectiveness. When I know it's going to be windy, I wear a heavy flannel suit under it. Mechanically...

    Help With Custom Hat Order

    Should be fun - enjoy! As an aside, it's important to support local brick & mortar hat retailers so they don't disappear, so you'll be helping in that way as well.

    Help With Custom Hat Order

    As said by others above, I would go to hat stores, try some lids on, buy a few and wear them for a year or two. If you know someone with good taste in hats, bring them along. Tastes evolve and you'll get smarter about hats over time. Vintage is a good option too (especially if you have a small...

    Black 'semi-dress' shoes for sporting event - suggestions?

    If money is no object, you might consider the Strawfut, either in brown/linen or better yet in brown/navy mesh: http://www.allenedmonds.com/aeonline/product_6541414_1_40000000001_-1?top_category=120552

    Cravats / Scarves / Ties

    These cravats from Bromley's might be close to what you're after - they're 50" long, so may come up a few inches short compared to the ad you posted. They have three pleats at the neck, no doubt to help them fit under the collar: http://www.classicwardrobe.co.uk/Cravats.aspx

    Wow, that sounds good - what about the brim width?
