    Borsalino "Pocket" hat in a Small box

    This is a very good idea for a thread. I've been wondering about this for awhile but haven't seen anything I liked and didn't know if they held up. I've been using a cap when I travel.

    "Formal" Straw Hats

    I don't know if a white Panama would be appropriate for someone professionally employed in funeral services. A Panama has a "devil-may-care" feel that I'd probably avoid: always better to err on the side of caution. I can't immediately think of another profession where a Panama might be wrong...

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

    I just bought a pair of what I think are Bill's Khakis on Boscov's.com for about $35.00. The reason I say "I think" is because the webpage reads "Bills Standard Issue Standard Fit pants." I'm waiting for delivery and will let you know more when I get them. Sizes go up to 40".

    Failsworth Newsboy caps

    A tweed cap looks great with a leather jacket, but I see the Failsworth caps come in a very limited range of sizes. What about Hanna? I haven't tried them yet, but the tweeds look very nice and they're reasonably priced.

    "Formal" Straw Hats

    As Emigram says, you sound like you want something a bit dressy and formal, and I would think a Gambler would be out of the question in your profession. You might want to get in touch with Peters Brothers in Ft. Worth, Texas, where you can get a custom hemp in a variety of colors and styles for...

    Borsalino / Made In China ? Still Worth Big $$$$ ?

    Save yourself some money and, if you can, go to a brick-and-mortar shop and try some on. I made the mistake of ordering a Bellagio, which doesn't suit me at all because the crown is slightly tapered, making me look like I'm wearing a dunce cap. A great deal depends on the shape of your face and...

    New York, New York...

    One of the nicest (and cheapest) ways to spend some time and get some perspective on the city is to take the Staten Island Ferry from the southern tip of the island across the harbor and back. I believe it still only costs the price of a subway token. Beer, German pretzles, and hotdogs are a must.

    Borsalino / Made In China ? Still Worth Big $$$$ ?

    I'm not quite clear on your opening comments: Borsalino is your favorite hat company, but you've never actually worn one? If you're just getting into this, you might want to keep an open mind and explore the works of the artisans who appear in this forum. My first "decent" hat was a Borsalino...

    Straw Homburg??

    Sunbody Hats has recently added a Homburg to their line-up. Nothing fancy but not bad.

    Tweed Suit Advice

    Also, there's Walkerslater.com. I've been a fan for awhile, and right now the exchange rate is truly spectacular. Very nice tweeds.

    This would make an interesting silhouette.

    "The Rock 'n' Roll Hat You Need Right Now" by GQ

    That is interesting. I saw an interview with him in which he discussed his ES335 and said he'd never take it on stage because he was afraid of damaging it. I thought,"With all your money?" and then realized it wasn't about money but about the guitar.

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    You and your darned rabbit hole. Today I received my Allen Edwards McAlistairs in walnut and am completely smitten with them. I've also discovered the Pediwear website. I'm done for. Thanks.

    Gustin L1 Horween CXL

    To each his own, though I'm not quite clear what you mean by "overstyling", nor the safari jacket reference (do you mean the pockets?). I'm guessing that the crux of your view is in your line "Less is more unless more is needed for function," which is a minimalist concept that entirely does away...

    Gustin L1 Horween CXL

    Essentially, it's not a bad deal for jeans: I've bought four pairs and they're all very nice. The only problem I've had is the with the wait, which can go on for a couple of months. As far as the jackets go, I'd rather wait until I saw something in my size on the Aero Sales page or here on the...

    Thurston Bros + Aero + TFL = Trouble

    Beautiful jacket and perfect fit. One factor that I don't think is taken into consideration often enough is the effect of body heat on leather, particularly HH. I always find that a jacket loosens up nicely after about 10 minutes. This is why I don't think any determination about a particular...

    Trickers boots sizing

    I've just recently discovered the Pediwear site and feel as though I'm falling in love. I've been wondering about the sizing as well and am considering emailing or, if needs be, simply calling them or calling a shop in this country that sells the shoe, if one exists. The Grenson Fred boot in the...
