    Hatco Article From the Dallas Morning News

    I really like your work. At the moment I'm a bit over my budget, as I just received a new VS Milan the other day. Serge's new hat, though, is giving me ideas. I'm sure I'll be in touch with you soon. Thank you.

    Dare to Dream: Your "Ultimate" Leather Jacket

    You see these all over India where they're called "auto-rickshaws" and are used, as the name suggests, as little taxicabs.

    Hatco Article From the Dallas Morning News

    I'm a size 7 7/8 (63 cm.). I'm pretty much resigned to custom hats now, which is just as well when I see most of the products being manufactured by Hatco, etc. Thanks for the sympathy, though.

    By the way, I really like that hat. As soon as I saw it I thought to myself "Hmmm, dark gray, maybe a purple trim?"

    iTailor linen Suit:

    As this thread started last October I don't know if the original OP is still around, but I've been seriously considering Indy Magnoli's linen suit being offered in the Merchant's forum. It looks very nice and the price is reasonable. I'd be interested in hearing any comments on the suit or from...

    Help me finding the hat of my dreams!

    Listen to this man. Some styles will suit you and some won't. The only way to know (and save yourself a lot of cash) is to try them on in front of a mirror. The right style will depend on the shape of your face and other factors. Good luck.

    Finally...I feel like I just might belong here...

    Welcome. You made the right decision by getting started with an Akubra: I wasted a fair amount of money before I discovered this forum and these guys. One of the reasons I hang around here is that there's a truly gentlemanly atmosphere in these parts, and it's great to hear people speaking about...

    Straw Types

    Art has a sale going on right now on the Milans. I just received my new one today and I'm ecstatic (this is my second VS Milan). These are my all-time favorite straws. Jeez, if you're in Medford I'd say you owe yourself a visit. Coming in a close second, though, are Peters Bros.' hemps. In fact...

    Males, do you part/manage your hair everyday?

    If you worry about it too much you wind up looking like either a televangelist or a mannequin.

    Belts - Help needed.

    Thedi makes predistressed leather belts in some really interesting styles. There's a thread on them in the Outerwear section; simply type their name into the search function at the top of the page. Leather Goods Connection are much more reasonably priced, though, but their work is first-rate...

    Belts - Help needed.

    Thedi Leathers in Greece. This guy makes some really extraordinary vintage belts and leather jackets. Also, I've gotten seven or eight belts from Leathergoodsconnection.com. I (obviously) recommend them highly. Nice choice of dress, casual, and ranger belts. If you order from them, go with the...

    Diamond Dave Buco Horsehide Cafe Racer sz 38-40

    This has to be one of the best deals on the web.

    My new Thedi X Thurston Phenix Quilted Cafe Racer

    It always amazes me that a jacket that beautiful is just going to keep on getting better. The best part of it is that the jacket will make you keep the weight off. Just remember: 1 beer = 1 pork chop.

    Akubra Campdraft

    That's one hat that I never get tired of looking at. Just something perfect about it. Congrats!

    Dare to Dream: Your "Ultimate" Leather Jacket

    A friend of mine was at the London opening and swore that Vincent Price was sitting in front of him. He claimed that Price giggled throughout the production.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I just got an email from Art Fawcett informing me that my new Milan is going out in the morning. Considering I ordered it on 5/17 and we just finalized the ribbon yesterday, that's what I call PDQ. Always a pleasure to deal with him.

    Peters Brothers

    Not that it's any consolation, but we had a brief conversation about this some pages back. That said, I have several straws now, and the only one I'll allow to get wet at all is my Sunbody. We get quite a few unannounced downpours here, and I always make sure I've got a plastic bag in my...

    My Blue Heaven

    Another Irish author, James Joyce, had one that he wore while studying in Paris around 1902. He refers to it in "Ulysses" as his Left Bank hat. BTW, when Wilde was giving his lecture tour of the U.S. in the 1880's he was very impressed by the outfits he found among the cowboys in Colorado. He...

    How Does One Comb Their Hair Like This?

    Whislerm is correct. I grew up in the '50's, and Brylcream was everywhere - literally everywhere. A kid in my class rested the back of his head against the blackboard one day, and the spot remained. They tried everything to get it off, but it was still there several years later. I found, though...
