    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    Exactly what I used to do. Yes, overcoats were meant to be worn over suits, but if you look at old photographs you'll see all kinds of variations. As we saw on another thread some time ago, in Europe during the mid-20th century leather jackets were often worn under topcoats. I always thought a...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Nothing worse than having to put up with all the medical crap. Ah, well, you'll soon walk away from it. BTW, that hat looks great with the A-2.

    Hence the term "hare-brained."

    Help me pick another hat for my huge, round head ...

    I have four Akubras now, and I've found that they just take a little time to break in, some more than others. I figure it's the same as breaking in a new leather jacket or anything else: a little uncomfortable at first, but eventually it becomes totally yours.

    How to resist buying another jacket?

    My wife's thinking about the Pegasus ladies' D-pocket. She was only half-heartedly looking for a jacket, and then I said the magical word - "Paris." It's one of the nicest I've seen for women.

    F.S: Black Aero Highwayman Steerhide Jacket Size 38 Airmen with Propeller label

    You'd probably get some interest here if you named a price. People have nothing to work with.

    Help me pick another hat for my huge, round head ...

    Stetson is owned and operated by Hatco. As we've seen here over several years, their QC is questionable, at best, and they seem to be selling hats primarily because they own the name of a company that once made fine hats. As Gabe says above, if you can get a truly fine, original hat from an...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    The most astonishing thing about having a kid is watching the emergence of the personality as he or she grows. And, BTW, that's as finely worded a description of a dance as I've ever seen. You could come to Miami and teach English. Cheers.

    Aero A2

    I know this is heretical, but I much prefer the Happy Days design to the A-2. Seems much more practical.

    Alley Kat Hat Co

    The great thing about this thread (and this website) is that you can watch an artisan develop his talent and deepen his knowledge.

    I wish Mike would get some larger blocks.

    That color looks fantastic with brown leather. One of my favorite combos.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I can't think of a sexier dance for a woman. It's originally a Gypsy dance, isn't it? BTW, the hat looks perfect.

    Holland Hats - a great internet buying experience

    Same here. It impressed me to no end, especially since, on the first occasion, I had called Bencraft a couple of times and no one ever got back to me.

    Akubra Campdraft

    My BGCD that I've had for a few years now has seen plenty of rain, snow, and hot sunlight. It's gotten really soft, while retaining its shape, and is my most comfortable hat.

    That (sometimes) Vintage Smell

    I tried out the newspaper tactic this week and it reduced the smell somewhat. I'll give it another go this week, and then try the bakingsoda. For the sweater I used Woolite and white vinegar, which works beautifully. I only wish I could use it on the jackets.

    Modern Wardrobe Sins Committed By Vintage Aficionados

    Have the Dickies changed much over the years? My mother bought me a pair years (and years) ago and I found them really uncomfortable. They were made, or treated with something, that made my legs sweat. I always felt guilty about not wearing them because I knew Mom was doing her best.

    Modern Wardrobe Sins Committed By Vintage Aficionados

    Right, but, on the other hand, some vintage articles are way more comfortable than most of their modern versions. I've a number of vintage shirts, for example, that make the modern ones look and feel like the plastic garbage they really are. The funny thing is that the vintage ones were...

    Mister Freedom Anniversary Molhalland Jackets

    Thanks very much. I've wanted one of those ever since I saw John Cale, the musician and producer, wearing one in NY years ago. Great design.

    How to resist buying another jacket?

    Every day when I drive down my street I see a sign plastered to somebody's ex-front door saying "Foreclosure". That's enough to give me pause.
