advice needed

Hey, all. I'm new to the Fedora Lounge, but very glad to have found you all as I've been researching leather jacket options. I'm trying to understand the difference (and benefits / trade-offs) of ordering direct from Thedi versus ordering a "custom Thedi" from Thurston Bros. Is the main...

I've been scrolling through cheaper jackets trying to learn what distinguishes good from bad by comparing jackets from TFL to the ones on the market. I came across this one and liked the style, spotted the YKK zippers, I *think* the stitching looks neat to my eye? Leather I'm struggling more...

Good Morning Folks, After a lot of lurking here and looking on the aero site, I've decided to ask for some help in choosing an aero jacket. Sorry, I know this must get asked a lot. I want something I can wear every day for decades, except when it is really cold when I'll wear my winter coat...

Hello all, I am looking for some advice on making an 8-panel gatsby/newsboy cap. I have a friend who is a very talented seamstress, and she recently agreed to attempt to make one of these hats for me. We are unable to find a good pattern for one, and we are unsure about what materials to use...
