What to wear with a fedora....
Such an eye-opening description of decades gone by! A hundred years ago, people were ready to beat up those who wore a straw hat in the wrong season. And nowadays you can't really rebel with clothes, or maybe the rebellion starts with a fedora. I wore a South American fedora as a teenager... -
What to wear with a fedora....
Esquire, May 1934, shows a combination where modest sneakers are in harmony with a fedora hat. https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/the-fedora-lounge-guide-to-esquire-mens-fashion-1933-1948-by-flanderian.102763/ -
What to wear with a fedora....
This was an interesting thread about how to combine headgear with shoes and clothes. After 26 pages, I can't resist sharing some acute reflections. I always go with dark jeans, and with them, I put boots or dress shoes on. They go well with a stylish brim hat. Nowadays, things are changing a... -
Panama Hat Thread
Nowadays the PHD sews leather sweatbands, but they don't specify what kind of leather that is. I don't know hats well enough to judge the quality. To my eye, this looks good. Admittedly, it's easy to criticize the ribbons because they might look like they were made cheaply on a Chinese assembly... -
Panama Hat Thread
This is made by Panama Hats Direct, grade “Montecristi Fino.” Considering the price I value the quality as stunning. It’s soft and smooth, and the texture is very subtle, keeping in mind the grade is the second lowest in Panama Hats Direct’s repertoire. The model is center dent, and it’s called... -

Panama Hat Thread
Sadly, I'm afraid I missed this opportunity for now. I had a fear Panama Hats Directs sale would be ending soon so I was quick to submit an order there, and hence, I saw this offer too late. -
Panama Hat Thread
I'm planning to get a new Panama hat for next summer, and I've been searching for images and reviews of Panama Hats Direct. There might be other options too. I'm always troubled with crown heights, and I went to ask them if they had higher blocks. Their Trilby model is said to be 4.75 inches /... -
Quality, leather briefcases & luggage
I’m looking for a vintage style back bag / messenger / briefcase. The other day, my eyes were caught by Treelistverse (Belgium) and 79Street (Ukraine) mentioned above. There are actually quite a few suppliers on Etsy selling products of similar aesthetics. Many of them are located in Eastern...- Juhani

I agree. If the "sections" don't communicate each others, the outcome surely lacks the "flow." To me your concept of "flow" sounds a matter of harmony, and it can be adjusted by finding optimal contrasts. Neutral colours prevent the overall outfit look clownish. The reason for asking about...- Juhani

I guess the jacket dominates. However, listing all colors already implied the answer: brown is more neutral than burgundy.- Juhani

Putting it all together
I have a serious question! I like the spezzato style of mixing trousers, vests, and jackets. The main colour of my outfit is often dark blue because it flatters my complexion. Brown fedora goes well with a blue jacket and beige pants. Beige, on the other hand, looks good with burgundy shoes. My...- Juhani

Post New Hats Here!
Four years ago, I received very helpful advice at this site. Since then, I’ve been relatively quiet member. Now I guess I have something to share. This is my brand new customized Hufvud Raven Crown. It’s 50X beaver blend in sable brown with a special shark gill ribbon and binding in colour that... -
Johnny Depp Fedora
I believe here's what you're looking for. However, I wouldn't recommend this, as I wouldn't recommend any intentionally distressed, overprised hat. https://www.cappelleriamelegari.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=379_137&products_id=2878&zenid=214mf2f0r4ht2mgfjkj08o62v1#.YjnjGzXktPa -

Ask a question, get an answer
A question about history of ribbon styles! When did they start making shark gill ribbons for fedoras? I tried different ways to find out the answer here, but with my skills, I couldn’t get any, so if the topic has been discussed earlier, would you please kindly provide a link.... Regards, Juhani -
Ask a question, get an answer
I am “summer” too, a grizzled one. I wear blues, sometimes combined with certain grays. I thought camel / beige felt would contrast nicely my jackets and shirts, but if the color is too warm, then my face might look ridiculously red. Perhaps a cold tone hatband is the solution. If it’s cold and... -

It’s been years since I wrote here anything, but I think no other community can help me now. I tried to find a thread about this, but with no luck, so here it comes... The question is about color temperatures: How can you tell if a color of felt is cold or warm? Does it matter to you anyway? A... -

Akubra sizes: true to the numbers?
You know what...? That already happened. This forum has numerous threads on Akubras, and what I’ve read here, some people say, all Akubras shrink, while others say, Heritage collection doesn’t, and actually it is possible that they go larger. It was the latter opinion that caused my serious...
