    That (sometimes) Vintage Smell

    I recently received two jackets and a Fair Isle sweater vest that have that awful, sickly sweet smell of human decay. The sweater I soaked in Woolite and white vinegar, which seems to have taken care of it pretty well, but the two jackets I'm a bit leery of giving the same treatment. I'm...

    The demise of the loose fit

    The ultra-tight, too small Pee Wee Herman look has, I think, already crested. It's funny, though, how these changes in design change the way we perceive things. I have a number of jackets, mostly tweeds, that I've had for years and that slowly began to look too long. I'm 5'9", and any jacket...

    Leather Jacket Advice

    You might also want to consider the Aero Long Halfbelt. I've had one for almost six years now and wouldn't give it up for the world. Plenty of handy pockets, and it's a late 1940's, early "50's style that isn't too tight and can be worn with a sweater. The brown horsehide breaks in beautifully...

    Alley Kat Hat Co

    This'll be my first felt custom job, so I wanted to go with a color combo that's been on my mind for some time. Some years back I was visiting an anthropologist friend who had just come back from living with the Oglalla people in South Dakota for a year. He had a book that displayed the...

    Alley Kat Hat Co

    Opinions, please: as mentioned above, I got in line for one of Tim's creations a few weeks back. So far I'm going with a whiskey (thanks to Zombie's hat) OR style with a 2 3/4 brim. Now, I've decided on a black, thin ribbon, and, as I mentioned to Tim that a spot of red might be nice, he...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    If you know your measurements you can find some incredible deals on tweeds on Etsy or Ebay. I just received a heavy black and gray houndstooth Harris Tweed that fits me like a glove and is in perfect shape for $50.00. Like you, I'm just waiting for the temps to drop a few more points. Also, with...

    Nice hat. Good to see a man who knows who the women go crazy for.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Great look! Your photos are reminding me more and more of the Irish-American writer J.P. Donleavy (The Ginger Man).

    What are you wearing today??

    Looks like a "thorn-proof" tweed, as they call it in Ireland. Very nice.

    Very nice.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Just curious: how do you like the jacket, and how did the transaction go? We see very little of the NH offerings here, and of the few I've seen the news hasn't always been positive.

    anybody know about hillside leather jacket?

    I don't know if I'd compare them price-wise with Schott. That company's prices have been edging up to and beyond the $1000.00 mark for the last few years while Hillside's prices remain in the $500-600 range, with some jackets in the $400-500 range. I always find their site very tempting...

    Beautiful, beautiful hat! Every morning I wake up and think about the one I just ordered from Tim. When I see something like this, it just ups my expectations. Congrats.

    Looks like they took their duck-calling pretty seriously out there.
