Yeah, it's been a crazy year for me . . . got engaged and moved across the country!
As far as a "lounger price" . . . I'd be willing to let this go for $90. Paypal payment preferred.
Very nice, 1950's-style suit jacket. Licensed by Warner Bros. in 1998. Color is what I'd call a very dark, raisin brown with off-white flecks. Used but in excellent condition. Wool blend, two button front, flap pockets. Very versatile look . . . perfect for Fall/Winter. Extremely nice...
I've got two of these (both size 7 3/8) one in black and the other in a blueish grey.
Asking $95 each. Superior quality, not cheap costume grade stuff.
I believe the fabric is a wool/synth blend and the visor is patent leather . . . but I'm not 100% sure. Both are new and have never been worn...
Dobbs "Game Bird" - size 7 3/8
Asking $50
Stetson "The Sovereign" - size 7 3/8
Asking $50
I'll be happy to answer any/all questions to the best of my limited ability . . . not too well-versed.
Giving this topic/item a bump.
I'm still producing this ring in extremely limited quantities. Would make an excellent Christmas gift for the SMQ fan on your list.
I realize this piece may be skirting the preferred era/time periods covered by this site but I thought I'd post it anyway and see what people though.
I'm hand-casting each of these in Sterling silver with the option of gold-plating on request. Also available in solid gold.
Base model...
I did two nights of background/extra work on this film . . . they spared no expense as far as wardrobe and makeup is concerned. My scenes were outdoors and at night, they had me dressed as a well-to-do Banker type.
I've done a fair amount of this type of thing over the last 9 years. Road to...
Oh, here's a place that does a pretty decent quality lid at a good price . . . it's not the "perfect" Skipper cap but a damn sight better than the cheapie ones with the adjuster in the back:

I'm a big Alan Hale Jr. fan and have been looking for high-quality caps similar to his "Skipper" style for years. One feature that all of the repros get wrong is the weave/material that comprises the outer band . . . it should be much more open and have a distinct pattern. The horizontal banding...
Lightly worn, not even broken in. Mens size 44 but, due to the thickness of the shearling, it fits more like a 40-42.
I got it second-hand after someone cut the pocket interiors out/off. This could be easily fixed but I've actually gotten used to it. I also think the buckles have been...
"Bee Cool" hat w/plastic visored brim
It's very possible that Bee Hat Co. produced a version of this farming/fishing hat. I have a Spring/Summer 1972 Bee Hat Co. catalog, but it is not represented there even though many other 40's-50's-60's style models are.
Well, "costumey" is a relative term for sure. To each his own.
I have no idea where the issue of the price/value of a garment enters into it. Contemporary runway couture is quite expensive but looks laughable when seen on the street.
You can go this 1950's route pretty easily but the real hazard is coming off too "costumey". Those Rickey jackets cross that line IMO and really only work when you're at a club or some type of genre-themed gathering.
I'm not trying to rag on the OP.
IMO: That topper is a bold statement and requires a level of follow-through. It's bordering on "that hat's wearing him" territory.
And as for youth, it will be served . . . often on a silver platter.
