Washing light-colored/adventurer clothes
Being married with kids, and being the one to usually do laundry, I have to admit that I separate darks, lights, and whites. I really have that much laundry!! So you have me stumped. :) Seriously, although that is true, I occasionally wash my Wested Indy shirt, or other light colored dress...- 1911 Man

custom sized aero
If you're in the USA, give Mark Moye a call. He is excellent to work with, and I'm sure Aero can accomodate you.- 1911 Man

Fortune & Glory Coalition {Adventurebilt}
Bump Thought I'd share a few more pics of this fine hat. I know they're not as popular here as works from other hatters, but those that own them would agree, it is a fine hat. -
Dude in a wheelchair ran my hat over!
To keep this thread on topic, I will first say I am very impressed that you held your composure so well in the face of rudeness. There is of course the possibility the "gentleman" was simply oblivious. However, in my dealings with people over the years, I have come to the personal (and... -

Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!
I have a barnstormer I bought it with the stewart wool lining, which is great, very warm. Mine is brown, and it does transfer color to light colored shirts. Also, different Aero jackets fit differently. The Barnstormer size 40 (my size) fits larger and looser that a size 40 highwayman would...- 1911 Man

Are there any established methods for resizing a human head?
In all seriousness: Buy them up and sell them on this site for a minor profit. Spread the love. I cant find any decent vintage lids in Salt Lake City, and I am a 7 1/8. I haven't looked much, and don't know where to, but I've hit a few vintage clothing shops, and there are none to be found. -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
I cannot get enough of these beautiful VS hats. I like them so much, I just ordered my second. I asked for a remake of the Stetson Whippet in chocolate felt. I only ordered it a week ago, and I faithfully check my email 3 times daily :) -
Best "hat movie" ever?
Why yes there is. On a two disc special edition of "Treasure of the Sierra Madre", it includes a bugs bunny cartoon that involves BB trying to get a penguin to the North Pole. It depicts a grubby man in a grubby fedora, who looks and sounds a lot like Bogart, repeatedly walking on screen, and... -
Brown Hat and Black Coat?
I had a nice JW hat a few years ago in chocolate brown (I have since passed it to my son), but I used to occasionally wear it with my black overcoat. I always thought a black or grey would look more correct, but I tend to be narrow in my thinking when it comes to colors. My wife thought it... -

My attempt at an Aviator hat
Yes, that pretty much sums it up. It looks much more brown in the sunlight, but takes on the more greenish hues in the artificial, indoor light. -
My attempt at an Aviator hat
So I appreciate all your nice comments. However, even if the hat looked nice, it wasn't exactly what I wanted. So I went back to JW, and asked him to make it a bit taller. So now it is creased at 4 3/4" front and about 4" at the back (gives it a nice upward rake). I think it is a substantial... -
The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse
I have been coveting a Saddleback leather briefcase for a while, just because it's such a great product. The problem is that I don't need a briefcase or carry sack that badly at this time, just on Sundays for my church activities. However, I was watching the Bourne movies recently, and I...- 1911 Man

My attempt at an Aviator hat
So I wanted a Howard Hughes Aviator type hat. I don't know how accurate it is to reality, but I really liked this one So I contacted JW, and selected the colors: Pecan / Saddle Brown felt, Chocolate ribbon, specifying a 9 ligne brim binding and 16 ligne ribbon. This is what I got. I... -
Which custom hatter?
JW Hats I have a Steve Delk Adventurebilt, and an Art Fawcett. Both are phenomenal works. I also have a couple from JW hats in Salt Lake City, and go to him for a few reasons. One, I live by his shop, and person to person communication on a custom article is quite a good thing IMHO. Two, I... -

Need some shoe / boot advice
Hello. I am looking for my next pair of daily casual shoes. I am looking for something in a nice classic hiker style boot. I want something that is well made enough to hold up, a little rugged looking, but dressy enough to wear with Docker style Khaki's. I've already had Alden 405's...- 1911 Man
