Orvis Hardwick washed tweed blazer
In my continuing search for a 3-button tweed jacket, today I received this herringbone suit from J. Peterman: http://www.jpeterman.com/Mens-Jackets-Vests/Herringbone-Suit-Blazer The jacket is cut tight, and need to go up one size, but I like the proportions, with the slightly wide lapel, and... -
Grey flannels
I ordered a pair of the brown flannel pants from J. Peterman. The cut is similar to my gray flannels from Zanella - reasonably high waist, full leg, etc. Detailing seems good. The fabric is nice, fairly heavy, but did hold some wrinkles from shipping. They're not quite in the same league as...- carldelo

Color Terms
It's ironic that a website obsessed with the nomenclature of color misspells the phrase 'color sense' as 'colour sence'. The British variation 'colour' is fine, obviously, but 'sence'? I expect better proofreading from the Swiss... Oops, I forgot to add that I find the results interesting.... -

Orvis Hardwick washed tweed blazer
Interesting observation. I also tried on another of their jackets, the Wicklow, an unlined 3-button tweed: http://www.orvis.com/store/product.aspx?pf_id=2T5H The jacket was much too long, and the button stance was bizarre - the top button was below the fourth button on my dress shirt. There was... -
Orvis Hardwick washed tweed blazer
Update - my local Orvis had one of the Hardwick washed tweed blazer. I have to say, the feel of the material was incredibly stiff and scratchy - the fabric had zero drape. The lapel was not sitting correctly at the top button, and the center vent was standing wide open. Also, the lower pockets... -
Need advice or recommendations for a new hat
MCrider is right, the Sydney is a really dark gray, nearly black. If you're looking for medium gray, you might consider a Stetson in Caribou gray. Bencraft has the Ashland, with 2-1/4" underwelt brim (nice lid, I have it in gray, the ribbon is black) and the new Whippet with 2-3/8" bound brim... -
Brim Width and Head Size
Bencraft has some Borsalino styles with large brim, e.g. the Bellini comes with a 3-1/2" brim: It only comes in black, as it is part of the 'Religious collection'. Here's another, the Diamante, with a 3-1/4" brim: At least it also comes in blue and gray, so maybe would not look so 'orthodox.' -

Show off the sports coats.
Given that the roots of the blazer are nautical, the use of scrimshaw seems perfectly cromulent. I too would be interested in seeing photos. -
Modern Whippet...
I took mine to Worth & Worth on 57th Street in Manhattan, which is my local hatter. The brim binding was $25 and looks hand-done, which it was. Not a bad thing, in my opinion, but doesn't look as uniform as the factory binding on my Hampton. The hat is a sage Chatham that I consider a... -
Modern Whippet...
Jeff - the new brim binding on my Chatham has resolved my brim rippling problems - I recommend it as a style upgrade as well - cheers, Carl -

Modern Whippet...
Me too, I have 2 Ashlands, a Chatham and a Hampton, all Stetson 'Profile 10'. They look better on me than any vintage or high-priced Borso I've ever tried.... -
Modern Whippet...
The modern Whippet is essentially a Chatham with a bound brim and wider ribbon - crown and brim are the same size and shape. Stetson Sovereign felt is quite nice - it softens up nicely with time and use. I had a bound brim put on my Chatham because I like the way the Whippet looks. I... -
How to get some of the curl or snap out of the brim?
Go back in time - apparently wartime rationing removes brim snap: -
A new 7-3/4 teal Borso for sale (not by me)
A friend pointed out this ebay listing for a new size 7-3/4 Borsalino in teal. I'm not in the market, but thought another big-noggin lounger might be interested. The BIN price is pretty good. I have nothing to do with the sale personally...- carldelo
