    What was the hat that Kenneth Branagh ...

    I'm almost positive that is a fur felt. It does not look at all like an aussie oil cloth hat but a 1930's styled fedora.

    mint lock and co silk top hat

    I am positive it is 6 3/4. I just like tall toppers alot more personally I won't wear any top hat under 6 1/4 inches high. I know in ascot most people wear 5 inches to 6 1/2 but once in awhile a taller one will pop up in the sea of top hats.

    New Chesterfield

    By the way AlanC is your avatar that of a gentlemen of the early to late 1840s or a little after. It looks that way beacuse thats when stovepipe first became very popular and then again in the 1860's, the vest looks as if it was a wide shawl db vest which I know was first entered the world of...

    New Chesterfield

    A dapper coat for a true gentlemen Gieves & Hawkes happens to be one of my favorite Savile row bespoke houses even treading on Huntsman, Dege, Henry Poole, and the rest. I have always loved chesterfield coats and the one you show is one of the nicest i have ever had the pleasure of laying eyes...

    Shaping the flare on beaver top hat

    I've seen morning coats with top hats and sometimes stoller jackets with top hats instead of homburgs. Do you think this would go well with a stroller jacket? I've heard the whole height sets of the balance of the shortness of the jacket......ect, sometimes thats true but sometimes it works well.

    Shaping the flare on beaver top hat

    I would like a hatter or a way in which I could shape the dip on the sides inwards to be more pronounced so the flare at the top would be more visible. I know before the creation of fedoras hatters used to be able to do this even after the beaver top hat was made. I just need to learn or for...

    Color Schemes

    great hats, your a thinner guy like me and the wide gap on the grey fedora between the pinch usually doesn't help us guys with slender faces. I would suggest creating a tighter pinch in the front not an indy pinch but a bigger front and center pinch to accent you facial features plus it gives...

    What size brim do you prefer

    2 1/2 to 2 3/4 is my range. It is interesting how a few wider faced bigger guys can pull of shorter brims and alot of thinner faces guys can pull off wider brims. if you look at the pictures from the 20's to 40's many narrow faced slender men were wearing at least a 2 5/8 brim. And some picture...

    New acquisition: Scott & Co top hat

    Usually I would just post nice hat, but you sir make the hat look good. The ensemble is emmaculate and too me thats more 2006 ascot races than 1896. Who cares what the genre or steroytpe or area it is or stems from, you sir wear the top hat with ease and does not look a tad bit costumey. The...
