Stylemaster---My First Dress Fedora! (Pics)
Special order? Atticus - Congratulations on moving into dress lids, they're the best and I think they often look good with casual clothes. I like the Stylemaster on you quite a bit, but was trying not to get too interested, as the ads for it I've seen list 7-5/8 as the max size. But you say you... -
Short crown.
One suggestion I also prefer a medium to low crown, which can be hard to find. In my case it's because I'm average height with a large noggin and a tall crown makes me look like I'm "heightening", if you get my drift. Anyway, after much looking, I settled on a Stetson Chatham because it has a... -

In the day, how many hats? What color?
Glad to be aboard - that guy driving by too fast in a blue Mini with a hat on is me, late for class again.... -
In the day, how many hats? What color?
Harry's Hats I found this site while looking into Art Fawcett's special editions H.S.T. (Harry S. Truman) hat. The president's hat collection is in the hands of the National Park Service: http://www.nps.gov/archive/hstr/exhibits/hats/hats.htm There's more info here, with some hat... -

Fedoras on a budget???
Looks like the sale is over - when I checked there were only very small and very large hats left at $55. Stoney, nice job, how do you get the crown straighter? -
Tilley Fedora
Fair enough Aaron, you're right, of course - Tilleys just give me a real droopy geezer vibe - nobody's asking me to wear one, etc. - my apologies... -
The Perfect Safari Hat
Nice Riverina to Safari conversion I especially like the bound edge on your safari conversion, as well as the pug. The color reminded me of a Christy's Foldaway Fedora in a khaki color - took a while but I found it again - the color is called Burma... -
Tilley Fedora
Amen I'm with you Jerekson --- for a rough-wear hat, you'd be better off buying just about anything by Akubra or maybe a Borsalino Traveler, Nomad or Country Fedora, all of which possess truckloads of style compared to that Tilley toadstool. -

"Dry Clean the Suit? Are You Crazy?"
Steaming suits I find myself coming to the same conclusions as this thread, namely that cleaning should be done fairly infrequently, unless something obviously needs to be taken care of. I resist dry cleaning my suits until they need it, as they seem to last longer that way. My wife's suits...- carldelo

Newbie: Lucky or Sucker, you decide...
I feel your pain - actually I don't, because my Scandinavian noggin is too thick - really, I saw the x-ray when I went over the handlebars of my bike at 20mph and didn't get a concussion, it's all excess bone, not extra gray matter. Anyway, I didn't really expect any of your hats to be the... -
Fedoras on a budget???
Stoney, that Buffalo fur hat is pretty cool - although not my style. I'll be interested to hear what the felt is like. I'm on the cusp of ordering a Sydney for myself, but JT has persuaded me with that impressive display to go on a sortie to the Burlington Coat Factory first. As long as... -
Newbie: Lucky or Sucker, you decide...
OK, you're right, I agree that auction would be the best way. I just have a phobia about reactivating my paypal account - if it's not active, then ebay won't have much sway over my attention..... Ditto for the noggin size problem - I never find anything vintage that fits, wah... :( -
Newbie: Lucky or Sucker, you decide...
Second that I agree with this sentiment - got anything nice in a 7-3/4? -

Fedoras on a budget???
A couple good choices Right now noggintops has an online coupon ('20OFF') for items over $100. The Akubra Sydney is $116, the Casual is $104 and the Stetson Chatham (I have one and like it well) is $115. If one of these works for you, there's no need to settle for a second-rate hat if you... -
Hat care tools??
whoops I made a mistake and didn't check out the crown brush while I was there, so I don't know the difference. I remember reading on FL somewhere that they are softer than the brim brush. I will say that the brim brush is a little awkward (big) getting into the teardrop, and I will probably... -
Tired of the Hat Stupidity. . .Time to get a new hat.
Match the coat I'd say just wear what looks best with the raincoat, i.e. the brown fedora. I've been called Indy while wearing a Harris tweed coat and a lightweight charcoal gray Trilby with 1/2" band - the hoi polloi will see what they expect to see, so I just dress to please myself. At least... -
Hat care tools??
source I bought one from Manhattan Wardrobe Supply in NYC, it was $7.75 although the price tag on it says $10.00 I bought it in person, so don't know what shipping would run - they have other hat care products as well: http://www.wardrobesupplies.com/store/m2_mjsupp.html This is the...
