    Replacing the ribbon and edge binding on a homburg

    I recently purchased a black, Lock & Co homburg from one of the board members. The ribbon and the edge binding need to be replaced. Does anyone have any recommendations as to who provides this type of service? The hatband is good, but the ribbon at the back has come undone. Also, what type...

    So when did the boater sink from popular wear?

    I've been wearing my boater on and off for years. My hat is a Brooks Brothers model that I picked up on ebay a few years back. It has an actual hat size (not like their current hats that are S, M, L...) and has a blue and red ribbon. From what I've been reading in this thread, it seems that a...

    Lock & Co Homburg

    Lokar, I was just wondering whatever became of your hat? Did you bring it to Lock & Co on your trip to London? Were you able to have it refurbished? Let us know how it turned out. Mike

    Reconforming a bowler hat

    Is it also possible to conform a homburg? I know that toppers and bowlers can be conformed. What other hats can be conformed? Mike

    FS: Lock & Co. Homburg 7 1/8

    Viktor, I tried to send you a PM, you have "exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space". I'd like the hat. I will send you an email. Mike

    Brylcreem

    Just found this thread. I've been using Brylcreem on and off for years. The funny part is, I think I may be using the same tube. I have found that the trick for me is to follow these steps: Wash hair Do NOT dry hair Squeeze tube while sliding comb over tube top (one pass). This creates...

    Please help me with formalwear for my wedding...

    Charlie, I would have figured that a "day cane" would have a gold or gold-gilt top, not silver. I've done my fair share of searching on ebay and didn't come across that many. I'll have to look some more this weekend. In regards to the Victorian look, would the malacca be correct as well...

    Please help me with formalwear for my wedding...

    You are looking incredibly sharp. I am waiting for my morning dress to arrive from the tailor. I received word yesterday that there is a good chance I'll have it on Monday. Chester Jefferies charged my credit card today, so I'm assuming that means the gloves are being shipped. Hopefully they...

    Bride's wedding gloves

    Thank you for the advice so far. Though it is not a vintage wedding, I will be wearing full morning dress, and she will be in a ball gown (or at least that's what I hear). We had heard about about the cutting of the seam, but were trying to figure out how it worked. I mentioned the taking...

    Bride's wedding gloves

    My fiancee and I are working on the final plans for our wedding. One of topics that has come up is that of gloves. She would like to wear gloves, but we're not sure as to how the placing of the ring on her finger is handled. I've done a search on the forum, and didn't find information...

    Please help me with formalwear for my wedding...

    Interesting. I sent them a second inquiry about the color. Any chance of you posting a distance shot of the gloves? Also, I'd love to see one of the sides of the fingers (I'm curious as to how the handsewn gloves are structured). Thanks. Mike

    Please help me with formalwear for my wedding...

    Those gloves look great. These are the same gloves I'm looking at for my wedding. Any chance you could post a pic of them from a distance that is a few feet away? I'm curious as to how to the hand stitching will look to a casual observer while I'm wearing them. When I emailed Chester...

    Morning Dress - Gloves

    TexArchStudent, thanks for the link. The last time I had read through that thread, it hadn't gotten into any real detail about the gloves. From what I've been able to tell, the chamois gloves are the way to go. I will have to correspond with Chester Jefferies about having them made since...

    Morning Dress - Gloves

    I had originally posted this at The London Lounge earlier this week, but have received little feedback. Since I'm fighting a deadline, I wanted to check with folks here. I am looking to purchase gloves to be worn with morning dress for my wedding. I think that Chester Jefferies is among...

    Spats!

    Does anyone have any experience with the spats sold at Ascot Top Hats. The shape of these seem to be a bit more traditional compared to the ones from Spatterdash. Any pics of them on shoes? Also, if anyone can help me with my questions from above, I'd appreciated it. Mike

    Morning Dress - Footwear

    Nope, I'm not wearing this to a funeral (though I've been told by some folks that a wedding is a funeral). It's morning dress. Mike

    Morning Dress - Footwear

    AlanC, Thanks for the congratulations. I just read about the Allen Edmonds the other day and was so disappointed about the timeline. They would have been perfect. So I will have to go the other route. In regards to the cordovan vs calfskin, I will have to do some research into the...

    Morning Dress - Footwear

    I am getting married this July and will be wearing Morning Dress. I still need to secure footwear. Originally, I wanted a pair of balmoral boots, but between the relative unavailability of “off the shelf” pairs, the cost of special order ones and the overall time those require, I have to seek...
