    The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.

    I was just thinking that we should start a thread on "The best-dressed folks in history" or something like that. When you consider Teddy's taste in clothes, what with his excellent and utilitarian taste in hats, jackets, boots, etc., he could almost be our patron saint. I mean, look at that...

    Tax refund, what jacket to get?

    Isn't the workcoat the one that shows the lining in the little lapels? You couldn't have satin with that. Also, I don't know if "surprise me" is the best of all approaches.

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    It just warmed up here this week. 85 degrees and sunny: time for the straw hats, linen shirts. and huaraches.

    The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.

    Yes, and so did Teddy. He had a style all his own. Even in crowd shots, he always stands out. Remarkable personality.

    Tax refund, what jacket to get?

    Good choice and congrats. I've always thought the black Teamster would look very "Strangers in Paradise" with a black fedora: kind of early '60's Newark mafia thing. I'm still sitting on my tax money and trying to decide between a jacket, a Guild Orpheum guitar, travel, or paying off a chunk of...

    What to wear with a fedora....

    I'm not much of a Stetson man, but I was thinking you might want to check out Peters Bros.' hemps. You can get a custom hemp for $150.00 in a range of styles and colors, including black. There's a Peters Bros. thread going on now, as a bunch of us are ordering from them. I've got one in the...

    Need Aero Premier Highwayman customization advice

    Hi, WT. I'm from NJ myself originally and was wondering why you said you could wear a leather jacket in the summertime there. I seem to remember that from the end of June until the beginning of September or so it was way too hot, except up in the mountains and down the shore at night sometimes...

    What to wear with a fedora....

    I was thinking that you might also want to liven up the outfit with a tie and pocket square from Brooks Bros. Their website usually has a sale going on.

    Akubra Fed IV in carbon gray or moonstone from Hats Direct. Can't go wrong.

    Hatco Article From the Dallas Morning News

    Gannon doesn't go larger than a 7 5/8. I wish they did.

    Hatco Article From the Dallas Morning News

    My only experience with Stetson was when I first started buying hats. I got the Renaissance, a purportedly Milan straw, but when I received it the thing looked an awful lot like plastic. It still does. I also thought I could get away with a 7 3/4 (my size is 7 7/8). What I learned with that...

    Great choice. Are you going through Thurston?

    Hatco Article From the Dallas Morning News

    It'd help if they expanded their size range. How can they be the #1 hatters when they don't offer larger sizes? Even if they did, from what I've seen on this forum I'd much prefer a custom job at the price levels they're asking. Mike at NW and Cane Rod Maker, for example, are directly...

    Sprezzatura vs trying too hard.

    In both of the above photos, there are only a few details that need to be addressed: you fellows have already zeroed in on the first guy, but the second character's outfit could easily be corrected by, first, getting rid of the gloves (my brother-in-law, who's 52 y.o., never had a job, and lives...

    What Are You Reading

    I like the Folio Society's publications. The story behind The Vampyre is really fascinating. Polidori was a recent Edinburgh Univ. medical graduate who was hired by Byron's publishing firm to go down to Lake Geneva and keep an eye on their investment. Byron resented his presence and threw him...
