    Post New Hats Here!

    Interesting, especially in the changing perception of what a tuxedo is! Nowadays it is considered just about the most formal of formalwear, and when I see a hat worn worn with one at all, it is a top hat (a few different lodges and fraternal groups wear tuxes regularly.)

    Feather people?

    If you're ambitious, I'm pretty sure you can find those feathers on Ebay and do it yourself.

    Clean Jokes

    Nice! I've heard a version of that where it's a funeral procession led by a man with a dog on a leash, then some mourners and a long line of men. The man explains it's his wife's funeral, the dog did it, and "You think I could borrow that dog?" "End of the line, pal."

    Quality/Reputation

    5?!? That's amazing. What parts do they live in, I wonder if I might know (or know of) any of them.

    Quality/Reputation

    Hey everybody! Pretty new here, and just less new to wearing this classic style of hat. (I'm a bagpiper, and have worn Glengarry and Balmoral bonnets for 35 years, but only when kilted up of course.) So I'm starting slow, lower end, and after I'm confident with sizes and such, my first higher...

    Richman Brothers

    Richman Bros. Facory in the (not-good) news. . . http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2011/06/cleveland_firefighters_respond.html " Cleveland firefighters are inside the massive and abandoned Richmond (sic) Brothers Co. factory on East 55th Street trying to extinguish a fire burning on the fifth...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I'm on a real "vintage" kick lately. I couldn't even tell you what the last show I watched on regular cable was. My wife has hijacked it over to a nonstop spew of reality shows anyway. But my recent fare includes Wild Wild West, The Fugitive, Lost In Space, Johnny Ringo (I just heard "HUH?")...

    Ribbon source

    Well, there's any number you can find on Ebay, of course, and a site called Hats In The Belfry also sells them. However, coincidentally, I just ordered a couple of replacements from a place called Panama Hat Direct, in Ecuador (sorry, nowhere NEAR the UK, I'm afraid) for $5 each, and they have a...

    What colour fedora?

    I have an over coat that is actually a very-nice looking Italian Army surplus, which is a sort of olive/forest green -- darker than yours appears in the pic, but not dark-dark. I've been wearing this brown crushable from Stacy Adams with it...

    Any opinions on hats by Jos. A. Bank?

    I've just started "wearing" myself, and I think the Scala New Yorker is a very sharp-looking, full brim fedora, C-crown or teardrop. It's rigid, not crushable, but Scala makes crushable as well, as does Stacy Adams (all made the same place, Dorfmann Pacific.) If I can make a commercial...

    What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?

    I've no problem with the older style cell-phone, but these Smart phones are a plague! Even my wife has a hard time pulling her nose out of hers. I had one for a bit then went back to an older style Nokia slider, in significant part because I liked the games on it better! That was before the...
