Hey there, hope that’s the right way to spread my question… The attached Shirt and Trousers where given to me by an elderly woman. I found a print on the inside of the shirt and now I’m curious, if it’s something or garbage… thanks for your help!

Hi all, So i recently got an almost new Schott 613 from someone on ebay at a good price because they had cut the belt and loops off & wanted a quick sale.. Its definitely real, authenticated by ebay also. The labels indicate it is steerhide but to me it looks nothing like the other steerhide...

Hi, Wondering if anyone can help me id this leather jacket please. Its got an unusual chest pocket, tag just says made in Korea and size 40 from what i can tell... Thanks in advance!!

Hi all, I just picked up an old schott perfecto which I'm told is a 618. The leather looks great, no bad smells / damage anywhere and feels like a very old jacket that's been well cared for. Super cool old one. Bit gutted as its just a bit big for me so will likely go up on ebay but can...

Hi! My partner was in a Goorin Bros. in Atlanta+/- four years ago, when he tried on this hat. For reasons that escape my comprehension, he did not buy it. It is clearly the perfect hat for his head! I have written Goorin Bros. but they are unable to identify it. With research, I have come up...

Hello, I need some help Identifying the age, model and value of this Aero horsehide jacket. The gentleman who is offering to sell it to me asked me to throw a number at him and I want to be fair and not insult him but also getting a deal on it would be nice ;) I don’t know enough about Aero to...

Hi, Can anyone please help me identify if this schott perfecto is legit, and also any other info on age etc? There used to be a super helpful guide on the schott forum but I dont think it's there anymore. I've not seen this combo of lenzip sleeve zippers, schott main zip (no branding on back...

Hi TFL! Hoping the experts here can help me out with this - I’ve recently acquired a cafe racer jacket that I think may be a vintage Reed? I’m asking because it didn’t come with a Zip-Out liner and identifying its make and model will help me order a replacement for it (any suggestions on finding...

Hello people, I just purchased this vintage jacket and while I’m waiting for it to arrive I was hoping for any insight on the age, brand, model, leather etc. Looking through the sellers pictures it doesn’t appear to have any labels or branding left. He claims it’s 30s or 40s. Thanks!

I recently picked up a hat block that’s designed to make hats in my size, as I would like to attempt making a hat. However I know nothing about it or what any of the writing (other than size and measurements) may mean. Any help with identifying or understanding would be greatly appreciated...

Hi all, I bought this work jacket for about 60€. Can you tell me if you think it is a nice piece and maybe more details on a possible value? I think the cotton is salt and pepper and the jacket must be from the 60s. Sorry, I am new to this. Many thanks to all

Hello...this is my first post and I was wondering if anyone could help me identify this hat (see pics). I think is a long haired felt fedora (maybe rabbit) and I am guessing maybe German...1930's or 40's..? The felt material looks fur on the outside-just plain black on the inside-no liner...

I would love to purchase a custom made rabbit fedora, made to my own head measurements. Unfortunately I live in the Mid-Atlantic region of the US, where no custom hatters who you can physically visit, exist. In order to feel comfortable purchasing something I would need to have the fit exactly...

I stumbled upon this Bailey hat online and it called to me enough to take a chance. It's well-loved, dirty, and has some small stains, which are features, not bugs, as far as I'm concerned. It was $25, as well, which was also a feature. It's a bit big, but some foam fixed that. Does anyone know...

Very random question, but my McCoy's N1 came with the drawstring cords undone. I'm trying to tie them similar to what's shown in the photo, but I cannot figure it out. I'm literally useless at this moment. Can anyone explain this to me?

As I know some of you can't resist cruising ebay for hats, I thought an ongoing thread where we can brag about a great deal, complain about skyrocketing prices or pointing out a rarity that was, sadly, not in your size but might be of interest to others **Fedora Lounge policy now permits the...

Hello everyone, I just made my first hat, and it has some really bad white spots and discoloration, I believe from the stiffener. I used dewaxed shellac flakes in alcohol. Does anyone have any suggestions on getting rid of it, or ideas what caused it?

Hey yall, someone on reddit recommended me this site & upon further research I believe yall can help me out (even though what I'm asking is kinda a strech). I've been trying to find the leather jacket Brad Pitt wore in his 1997 film "The Devil's Own" (or something that's basically identical). I...

I have been following this forum for several years and finally decided to join. I enjoy looking at the new and vintage hats and have learned a great deal. I started purchasing hats after my dermatologist recommended I cover my balding pate after a first bout of skin cancer. I have always...

I am not sure if I I post it here, but it seems right. I am looking for the Hollywood Pattern 517, of Linda Hayes. As long as it has most of the pieces I am not picky about quality. I don't care about size since I'm going to have to rework it anyway - I just want a basis. Any help would be...
