    Homage watches?

    "VARIO 1945 D12 Field Watch is heavily inspired by the ‘Dirty Dozen’ – a collection of Swiss and British watches commissioned and worn by the British military during WWII...." Homage to the Dirty Dozen watch makers and those who wore them. My lume could be better and last longer, but I like it...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Agnoulita Tony. I also found a pair of dark tan Ballin trousers w super 120 wool at a thrift spot. And then I ordered these while I should have been fast asleep. TLB Mallorca. I like the company... good value for the quality.

    I suppose a standard way of felting, pre-pouncing, pouncing in stages by machine or even by hand would make it easier if it was a standardized direction. Good question.

    The Resistol Roundup

    I have a gray hat just like that in a friend's shop that's not selling. I should go grab it and take pics for academic reasons only. I was gonna say around '80 on mine.

    Also, only sellers show the whole Louge a hat for sale on the bay...I promise I won't bid, the '60s were not friendly to brims, speaking in generalities.

    I found a grail hat (to me) in an antique store in Colorado. It was a needle in a haystack situation, like once in a lifetime. My point is, you can also custom make hats that are nearly like a vtg '50s-'60s hat. Any color scheme u choose. Some finished hats that ship the next day, or u can...

    Post New Hats Here!

    My Agnoulita 'the Tony' in Navy blue arrived. So it IS Nice and Dark colored like I wanted. The crown is substantial, not unlike some vintage hats I've had. The rabbit felt on the crown is a good balance of soft yet sturdy, like a dress weight I'd venture. Ribbon is not too wide. This inside is...

    I guess I could ask officially. Any Agnoulita customers get your hat shipped from greece, just to get hung up in Omaha DHL shipping facility? It's been late coming for many days. Not used to this from anyone.

    Need Help Finding a watch

    Firstly, there are thousands of companies and price ranges. My Seiko Sport is a dive model and I think it works w any dress. My Vario is a basic military replica model. Goes w anything, imo.

    Need some feedback on wearing fedoras

    It just struck me while removing my timepiece, not many people notice it, but I do, and enjoy winding it every evening. Kind of like wearing a nice lid like the all the cool fellows did back in the good old days. Never left the house without one, in fact.

    Need some feedback on wearing fedoras

    Welcome. Everybody wears hats. Trucker caps, baseball, beanies, felt and straw westerns. Not many wear fedoras, but I have, and used to have a modest collection myself. It's a piece of clothing, not unlike a good suit, that takes a little getting used to. People often comment on them, mostly...
