    Goodwear Leathers, the waiting starts...

    I couldn't agree more. While I realize that one of the functions of this forum is to discuss matters of quality of materials and workmanship, I can't help shaking my aged head when articles that I remember appreciating for their functionality, good looks, and affordability are now discussed in...

    Favorite Hats by Style

    That Baltimore fedora is one of my favorite hats that I've seen on this forum. I kick myself every time i think about the fact that I went to high school in that town in the '60's and could have gotten one then at a reasonable price.

    Need advice : What hat am I looking for?

    That is a very nice choice. I'm sure that if you email them they will be happy to answer any questions you might have about shipping, etc. The price is not that high when you compare it to, say, a Stetson, which is a far inferior product, or to one from a custom hatter. I understand that the...

    Where do you find the made-to-order colors? I looked through the site and couldn't find any details.

    Good luck with the order. It's kind of hard to tell the color from the photos, so I'll be looking forward to your pics and comments.

    Post New Hats Here!

    I see that JJ Hats finally has some offerings on their "New Arrivals" page (the first since Christmas, I believe). They're all straws and appear with no indication of the makers, but one's the "Brooks", which is Bailey, I believe, and several others have the identical feathers as a Capas Bogart...

    Rubeus Hagrid sporting a Lewis Leather

    The other morning I made the mistake of actually being in my office during office hours when a student, a male model, paid me a visit in order to cajole me into passing him (the semester ends next week). When I asked him if he had ever read an actual book, he became very serious, looked deeply...

    Need advice : What hat am I looking for?

    If you prefer a lower crown, you might take a look at Worth & Worth in New York, as they seem to specialize in lower crowns. Nice hats and some interesting colors but a bit pricey. For summer hats, you might consider non-Panama straws: take a look at Peters Bros. in Ft. Worth, Texas, where you...

    Favorite Hats by Style

    The acid test came last summer when I was talking to the guy at Peters Bros. about a Milan Hemp and he said I could have any style I wanted. I thought for a moment and said "Stratoliner, but with a 2 7/8 brim." I've always liked the style, but I considered the brim on the Stetsons kind of skimpy...

    WADR, we should have a name for this condition: how about "GW Logic?" You're saving money. You really are. Really!

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Thanks for the advice, everybody. I think I'll stick with the original order, as I don't have a straw in that shade of brown and I think it'll look fine with the dark green ribbon. I'll give it a month or so until my birthday rolls around and then go for the natural. My wife's been up at her...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I was thinking that as I typed, but I'm also thinking about doing a little travelling in the near future. Now that I think further about it, Uncle Sam should be sending me a check in the next week or so. Hmm. You guys are a really bad influence.

    ELMC Roadster - Review

    Beautiful jacket. The lines of the design are particularly nice in that frontal shot.

    New Thedi Belts Review

    Very cool belts. A while back we had a discussion on another thread about belt thicknesses, and I mentioned that there's such a thing as a belt being too thick - to the point where it grinds into your pelvic bone. I have a couple of ranger belts that have the double thickness at the front, and I...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Waiting on the Peters Bros. Milan Hemp Strat. I ordered the Indy brown with a dark green band, but I keep wondering if I shouldn't have gone for a natural with a black ribbon and brim binding. I hate to be a waverer and it drives me crazy when my wife does stuff like this, but I'm wondering if...

    Sorry to hear of your experience with them. So far I've dealt with EA and Hatsdirect and have had only first-rate service. I guess that's what's so great about this forum - that you are apprised of this sort of behavior. Hang in there, though.

    Men rings - How to choose? What do you wear?

    Speaking of India, both of the rings I wear are from the subcontinent. I received the wedding ring, a gold ring with a sort of sheild, from my wife's family, and on the other hand I wear a thin gold ring with a beautiful sapphire that was given to me by my wife's father (her family is Indian)...

    Musician's hats

    I never miss 'em. I took my kid to see them when he was six y.o., and we got there early and sat in the front row. The whole time they were on Nielson was flicking guitar picks at my kid. He went nuts and still has them. Gotta love a band like that.
