    Beautiful, slim-fitting Overcoat FS

    ONE FLAW SPOTTED: When I checked the lining, in response to jeffconners, I noticed for the first time that there is a 1" frayed tear in the liner at the very bottom inside left front panel of the garment. I will copy this as an edit into the original post.

    Beautiful, slim-fitting Overcoat FS

    To answer jeffconners; as a 38L you'd probably also want to wear this with a regular shirt or sweater underneath rather than over a suit, but check the measurements to yourself on that. Yes, it is fully lined with what I believe to a sort of satin/rayon material. You can see that lining peaking...

    Beautiful, slim-fitting Overcoat FS

    To answer fluteplayer; I'd think the key thing would be the shoulders. My best fitting blazers are snug but not tight at my shoulders, for a tailored look. I use one of those for reference measurements so if a garment is being listed with the same dimensions I know what I should be in for...

    Very special Borsalino for sale - SOLD -

    There was a little Q&Aing going back and forth plus consideration to the order in which offers came. Pending receipt of funds, the hat is sold to the inquiry who was first to make his decision. Thank you for the interest! G

    Very special Borsalino for sale - SOLD -

    The 22-1/4" puts it at a tad over 7-1/8, I think. I can wear most 7s (snug, when I have a haircut), and many 7-1/8s (comfortable fit), but this one feels bigger than those when on so I'm offering it to someone who may fill it. I am testing the waters and giving first shot to the Loungers...

    Oxblood colored vintage Fedora FS

    $50 shipped in U.S. I bought this at an antique store as a nice souvenir from my first Fedora Lounge get-together in Memphis a couple years ago. It was originally sold at a well-respected men's store which has long since closed. Trouble is it's just a little big on me so I rarely wear it...

    Beautiful, slim-fitting Overcoat FS

    Yeah, wish I could still make it work. It is high quality merchandise for sure. Not sure BR should get the credit though. I do think this is an actual Swiss Army Surplus garment. It just happened to be in their store as an odd item, as I recall.

    Very special Borsalino for sale - SOLD -

    $115 shipped in U.S. Borsalino Colombo. Velour finish. No flaws, excellent condition. Only one other Lounger has one of these to my knowledge. It's just too big for me to wear properly without stuffing the sweatband, and I don't like doing that. All Italian imprinting and a Punti size...

    Beautiful, slim-fitting Overcoat FS

    $65 shipped in the States. Bought this as a Swiss Army Surplus item from Banana Republic back around 1984. Very heavy, warm and well tailored. You've just got to be a long, lean guy to make it work. It's gotten too close for me if I try to wear it over a suit. With just a light sweater...

    WTB Tan or Taupe Fedora - size 7

    This little Stetson is not in the best shape (some minor moth nibbles and a little discoloration on the ribbon and inside crown logo) but it's not bad. Brim's right at 2-1/8" and color is definitely taupe. You could have it for $20 shipped in U.S. No hat box. It no longer has that pin on it -...

    BRACES (SUSPENDERS)

    The thing with that is braces were usually worn with high rise trousers. The typical Dockers today don't have that rise, so often the braces pull the pants up to a 'high water' look at the bottom of the leg. I know braces are adjustable but it still can happen if you have enough tension on them...

    Wanna' see TonyB's new set-up!?

    Wanna' see TonyB's new set-up!? I've been chatting with him via PM and phone lately. He recently moved and set up an effective workspace. He mentioned being a little shy about tooting his horn but I know he's very happy with the new shop and I suspect some of us would like to see photos...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Salty, that Knox is great. I have a similar one in grey without the back bow which is one of my all time favorite fedoras. I know you will be pleased. :eusa_clap

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    That looks like a fine hat. I like the obscure makers from the past. Some of them were store brands contracted through Cavanagh or Dobbs, etc. This one will be great once that tight front pinch is relaxed a bit. I'd brush it well and wet it, then shape it up. Good score!
