    Aero button cuffs lining - leather or fabric?

    I have the same one-button cuff on my LHB as the one on the right in Carlos' last photo. I opted for the cloth lining on the inside cuff and have noticed absolutely no wear at all over the five years I've had the jacket, even though I often wear a fairly large Longines watch with it. The fabric...

    Highwayman fit jacket pics -- looking for feedback.

    Craig, that's a half-size down for you, would you say?

    Alley Kat Hat Co

    Holy Moly, between Tim's hats, Bolthead's photos, and Harv's friends (not necessarily in that order) this is rapidly becoming my all-time favorite thread.

    Hatters beware

    I became very interested in this trade when I saw Panama Bob's efforts to provide some help to the people who did the work, but I couldn't help but feel that the whole business, which has been around for a long time and is reliant on the talents of the poorest people, is likely rife with the...

    Dale and Noel Neill, who played Lois Lane on the original Superman tv show, were my first loves.

    Chippewa Sizing

    Hi, Golgatha, Have you tried contacting their customer service? I'd also suggest Zappo's, which has an excellent return system, but I don't know if it applies to overseas deliveries. Anyway, good luck!

    Hatters beware

    I'm really sorry to hear about this. I was wondering what sources of redress might be involved in such a case. I can't imagine a country like Ecuador, which relies so heavily on foreign trade, would put up with this. I hope it works out for you.

    Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.

    The new site is very nice, but I couldn't find a list of the colors. Are they only the ones on the Retail page? I may have missed it.

    Looking for size 8 hat

    I think most of us have experienced a period of self-consciousness when we first started wearing hats, but remember that, historically-speaking, hatlessness is by far the exception, and then think of all those guys of a certain age (as they say) wandering around your local mall dressed like...

    Looking for size 8 hat

    That's true, but I'd also say that you have to consider any shrinkage that may occur with the sweatband. Buying a hat online is always going to be tricky, which is why, although it almost sounds counter-intuitive, you'd be best starting off with one of Art Fawcett's hats, as he sends you the...

    Looking for size 8 hat

    Hi, Murray, It's not easy. First, just finding hats in our range is tough (I'm a 7 7/8 or 63 cm.), and, second, finding hats that suit your particular face and head-shape is even harder. If you're anywhere near a hat shop, it's a really good idea to stop in and try on various styles. Also, don't...

    New York, New York...

    CBGB's in Vegas? Oh, no. I wonder if they'll replicate the smell of dog crap and cat piss that greeted you at the door.

    My new jacket, I name it greywolf

    I admire the hell out of people who design their own stuff, and that's a great design. Just do us a favor, will ya? Get over the flu first before you go out riding in the rain. We don't want you to be the first guy to bite the dust over his jacket design.

    JJ Hat Center & Pork Pie Hatters NYC

    I've seen a couple of their straws that go for around $150.00 on various other websites for less than $100.00. The Capas "Bogart," for instance, I got from HollandHats.com for about $75.00. It's also the same hat that Panama Bob was selling for less than $50.00. The 30% probably represents the...

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    I just noticed on Ebay a couple of Shneider's of Salzburg overcoats in black wool and cashmere going for between $110.00 and $190.00. I've had one for years and years and love it to distraction. Although it's as minimalist in design as you could want, it's a beautiful and useful one with...

    Who wants to sell Bills Khakis pants Model: M1 - Size: 38/31

    N.B. I ordered one size up in the waist because another pair I received in the tropical weight from an ebay seller are a tiny bit snug in the waist, which could be due to the fact that I've been on vacation for the last few months. These are perfect, though, and I'm seriously considering getting...

    Who wants to sell Bills Khakis pants Model: M1 - Size: 38/31

    They just arrived this morning, and they're the M1's or "original fit:" higher rise, roomier, striped lining, "British Khaki" color, etc! This may be what you're looking for. I ordered them an inch or so longer than usual as I intend to cuff them. These are exactly what I wanted, and at $35.00...

    Summer hat: palm or felt?

    It really is a problem in the Tropics, particularly because the storms are completely unpredictable. I always have a plastic bag in my shoulder bag if I'm wearing a straw. As far as felt goes, I'd think it depends on the thickness of the felt, and Akubras are on the very thick side. Plastics...
