A classic - Veronica Lake in Sullivan's Travels: Not sure where this photo is from, but it certainly fits the bill:- carldelo

High waisted pants & the body shape of the "larger" men.
I've just recently started wearing braces and it's been a real pleasure. No more cinching up the belt to an uncomfortable degree to keep the pants from sagging down (which they do anyway). No constant waistband adjustments - everything fits and hangs a little better, and you stay a little more... -
Cardigans for casual gentlemen
OK, here's a somewhat odd sweater, but it's been sitting in the back of my mind since I saw it (plus it's from a lounge sponsor): http://www.jpeterman.com/Mens-Sweaters/Vintage-Baseball-Sweater The color, trim and long cut are appealing, although I'm not wild about the "P" on the chest.- carldelo

Cuffed Jeans
I always heard: "pleated pants get cuffs, flat-front pants do not", but I don't know the reliability of this remark. I have everything cuffed except flat-front hiking pants. All my other pants are pleated, so have cuffs. I don't wear khakis any more, but when I did they were pleated and cuffed...- carldelo

Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat
Alright, I'm thinking the 'modern crown vs. classic shape' issue has just about been beaten to death. I'm more interested in the hat itself at this point - it appears that most hats are coming in with a brim larger than 2-1/2". Also, I'd like to know about the felt quality - is it Sovereign or... -

Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat
Thanks, that's interesting about the liners - my two Royal grade hats have the same white liner as the new Strat, my Sovereigns have black liners. As I understand it, the modern Open Road is Sovereign too, so I guess sometimes the white liner is used in them as well. I think I read above that... -
Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat
Well, go figure - my apologies. I had no idea that hat was still offered, and that's a good price. I imagine the felt is a lower grade than the current Strat offering, but who knows? LL Bean has some clout, so maybe they are able to offer it at a discount. Is the felt grade mentioned anywhere on... -
Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat
You've got to check current hat prices - a new Chatham or Whippet is $150 - $180 depending on where you look. -
Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat
I have to agree - it was clear to me from the ad that the hat is a profile 10, which is to say that it has the same crown as: Chatham, Downs, Ashland, Hampton, new Whippet, Moose River, Bear Creek, etc. I never concluded that a replica of a vintage lid was to be offered. This issue of the hat... -
Suspender button placement
I think Edward is correct about the metal buttons KPreed mentioned. I would be fine installing these on chinos or hiking trousers: http://www.davidmorgan.com/product_info.php?products_id=32 BTW, I have found a good source for plastic suspender buttons in multiple colors, by the dozen or the...- carldelo

Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat
It seems to me Hatco could have used the blocks for the Nostalgia rather than the current Chatham/Profile 10 if they wanted to get close to the original Stratoliner without a lot of development work. But I guess the meager sales of the Nostalgia probably wouldn't be enough to persuade them that... -
Suspender button placement
Thanks for the feedback gentlemen. It's useful, as the trousers I've been wearing with braces are comfortable, but the factory button placement is clearly incorrect. On both pair of J. Peterman pants I have, the front-most button is inside the pleat on one, outside the pleat on the other. The...- carldelo

Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat
Another good example is the Mini Cooper - a very good modern reinterpretation of a classic. If I wanted a vintage Mini (or Strat) I would just wait until a good one showed up on the vintage market. I don't have a problem buying a modern version of a classic (I have a new Mini), but the... -
Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat
I have to agree. Based on the white lining, it appears to be Royal quality rather than Sovereign, as well, which is not good given the price point. -
Suspender button placement
I recently bought a couple pair of trousers from J. Peterman that have buttons and am really liking wearing suspenders. I'm looking to add buttons to perhaps a half dozen more of my pants and want to do it right, as I plan to buy a couple or three pair of Albert Thurston braces. I've done a...- carldelo

Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat
Amen to that. You shouldn't have to pay a penny for that hat. If they're paying attention, the Fedora Store should refund your entire purchase price including shipping and pay for the return shipping as well. -
Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat
I had a somewhat similar experience with an old stock hat that was shipped with a wonky sweatband. The band was stitched way out of level and managed to put creases in the felt, and reduce the hat size. The store as much as admitted that they just take the hat box in one door from the factory... -
Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat
Looks good to me. I'd love to see a straight side view to see how much swoop there is in the brim when snapped. I assume it's silver belly, which looks pretty tan. Marcoshark, does it seem tan in person, or is that just the photos? -

Dead Man Hat
Depp's hat appears to have a 4" or 4-1/4" crown which makes me think of a Dressage hat (except for the ribbon treatment, of course), for example this one from Hornets Hats: http://hornetshats.com/f_hatview.php?link=Dressage%20Hats Not vintage, of course, and the flare isn't as pronounced, but...
