    Where could I find a jacket like this one?

    These jackets were everywhere when I was growing up (not far from Hoboken) back in the Fifties in black/red, green/red, and other combinations and were called hunting jackets where I lived. I forget exactly when, but about twenty or thirty years ago there was a big resurgence of interest in them...

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    Would anyone else agree that there's a limit to the niceness of a briefcase? I recently saw a Saddleback Classic Briefcase in the wild and thought to myself that I couldn't possibly carry one in public. Even in a town not noted for its subtlety, this object just screamed status symbol to an...

    Incredibly beautiful job, BH. As always. And jeez, those colors and the hat itself blow me away.

    Examples of heavily used Aero leather?

    I thought the same thing but went with the brown CXL anyway for my LHB. My wardrobe then magically adjusted itself. It's a color with a surprising amount of depth: I never get tired of looking at it in different lighting situations.

    Shantung Panama Stetson Monticello

    I'm glad this topic came up, as I was a bit embarrassed to ask about it, given the time I've spent on this forum. Is there a difference between a hat-jack and a stretcher? I was speaking with Tim at Alley Kat today and he mentioned hat-jacks (I think), but I didn't want to admit my ignorance. So...

    What to wear with a fedora....

    I think it means you're supposed to wear it with an attitude. You know, tough guys wear pork-pies, so you're supposed to walk around snarling like Popeye Doyle. Walk around with a copy of the N.Y. Post under your arm. Ho hum: maybe it's me, but I can't imagine what attitude I'd wear with a...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Couldn't agree more about Tom's work. I was recently elated to see him asking Tim of Alley Kat Hats on his Instagram page about getting larger hat blocks. Let's keep our fingers crossed. And yes, it's been my experience that the raw bodies for the Panamas tend to be fairly small, which is why...

    I just checked out the Instagram shot: maybe I should just go with that so's I could out-grunge Johnny Depp. Waddya think?

    I PM'd you that the 3 inches sounds fine. I'm psyched, and I hope you're feeling better.

    The Man Purse Aka. THE MURSE YES or NO ?

    Looks like the same leather as my messenger bag, and you're right - top notch.

    There can be a difference between a Panama and a straw fedora: a Panama is a type of fedora, but there are many other choices available. For a number of reasons, I'm not a big fan of the standard white fedora, the main one being that it's hard to get a nice one at a reasonable (for me) price. Of...

    Frye Leather Carcoat?

    The other day I was scrolling through the ebay vintage leathers and came across this carcoat by Frye, apparently dating back to the 1960's or '70's. The style is very close to the Aero Stockman, and the leather appeared in the close-ups to be very heavy and grainy steerhide. It's a little over...
