    Vintage Silhouettes Custom Hats - Official Affiliate Thread

    The real Milan straw is truly beautiful. As the hat gets older the color matures into various shades of golden brown in striated patterns.. It's especially nice in bright sunshine. I guarantee that once you get one of these you'll never look at one of the mass-produced ones again. Art, how's...

    Akubra Overload

    I really don't go for the cloth sweats at all and don't think they're any cooler. In fact, I find some of the cloth ones to be irritating. The leather ones(lamb skin I think), especially those used by Akubra, Peters Bros., and Art Fawcett, are so comfortable I seldom even think about them. I...

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    Reading through the judge's summary, I was surprised (as I always am when I'm familiar with a case) by the way in which the whole case was squeezed down into this question of whether or not there was an agreement about the stealing. There's no mention at all of the complete betrayal of trust...

    Aero Grand Theft Sale

    Very close to a conversation today: "Listen Honey, when we're in London I'll give you some time alone with your sister, and I'll just pop up to Glasgow to see the cousins." Very considerate of me, I think.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    The difference between Fedex and, say, UPS: on Saturday I received an email that my Peters Bros. hemp had "Arrived at facility" in Ft. Worth. At 7:59pm this evening it again "Arrived at facilty" in (drum roll) Ft Worth! I guess it must've made it across town in (charitably) only two days. Anyone...

    Great jacket. The colors are especially nice.

    Beaver Caps from the 1960's

    It's simply amazing to me how some items seem to disappear. When I was in hs in Baltimore in the '60's all the guys wore these wonderful "Lawman" coats that were reversible with, usually, a Harris Tweed herringbone on one side and canvas on the other. This was between '65 and '68, and I don't...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I thought it reminded me a bit of a few I've seen at Walker Slater. That's a beautiful coat, but can you wear a heavy sweater under it? The ones at WS seem so fitted that they might be a tight squeeze.

    What Are You Reading

    I lived for a time in an apartment in Astoria, Queens, whose bedroom window looked out on the Hellgate. You should have seen it the night a fog slowly rolled in.

    What Are You Reading

    Reading the above, I couldn't help thinking of Winston Smith's rose paperweight, that token of a better, more humane time. I also thought of the drumbeat of the technocrat of the last twenty years or so, telling us all that the future belongs to them and, well, too bad for everyone else. How...

    Virgin straw hat

    I got a black hemp in the Stratoliner style from Peters Bros. last summer and love it: very light, comfortable, and breathes well. I'm expecting an Indy brown one any day now. Great service, and it's a custom hemp for only $150.00. If you want to see what a great deal it is, take a look at what...

    Aero Leather new natural veg tanned Vicenza horsehide

    "...a certain style you boo'd us so much we had to change name" is not a million miles from "Me Tarzan!", which has always been Andy's point anyway.

    Try to find a 7 7/8 that isn't a novelty hat.

    What Are You Reading

    Celine's "North" has to be the most nightmarish novel I've ever read: strange that it was based on his actual experiences toward the end of the war, and stranger still that he deserved them. I can't think of another book quite like it, with the exception of O'Brien's novel, but that one's pure...

    Federation IV too big?

    I think it varied from batch to batch, depending on the amount of starch used.

    Aero Leather new natural veg tanned Vicenza horsehide

    We all have the "indecision illness." Just looking at the Aero photo above, though, I think it'll look cool as hell. Go for it, and just look forward to the day it arrives. And keep it away from your girlfriends.
