Great looking gray hat splintercellsz! How did you get the brim to go straight out like that? I would like to do that to a Homburg I have.

Thanks for the compliment nice hat dude. You guys almost revealed a biker's best kept secret that we only have one set of clothes! I lost track of our guitar discussion awhile back and that is I do not know of any Gibson with a maple top. Sorry for the delay.

Thats for the compliments, Howard (may I say wyou are looking quite dapper in the suit I saw earlier!)

To get the brim like that, I steamed it, and immidiately but the hat brin on a flat surface, and pressed it flat with my palms, and kept doing that until I had the shape I liked :)

Thank you and for the suit compliment also. I with I could button the jacket. My gut is now too large. I will try the steaming of the brim. I saw a Clint Eastwood movie the other day and he had the straightest brim I have ever seen. I think he was a sheriff after they tried to hang him. A great look!

Thank you, Evan!

I really am digging your suit & hat!! Nice look!

Thanks sir! I was wondering, your suit in your avatar pic, is it plaid, or is that the finish of the image, and also, does your waist-coat in your avatar pic have lapels or is that just the regular rumpling of your waist-coat? (That happens to me all the time) Just curious, the image is intentionally grainy for that period look, yeah? Either way, lookin' great! and Nice hat!

Hi Miss Tuppence! I just remembered; somewhere I've got a photograph of my grandmother and my mother's godmother back in the very late 1930s or early 1940s floating around....My grandmother's wearing a suit that is very similar to yours in your photo there! I think her friend may be wearing something similar as well, but with cow-boy boots (it was taken in New Mexico).

Sounds like a great photo:)- my suit was made from an early 40's pattern and I think my grandma had a similar suit too. It's a great everyday style.

Herringbonekid, Fashion Frank, V.C.Brunswick and Evan Everhart, thank you very much.
I’m very lucky to have a mother willing to make me such items – I can assure you I have placed more orders!

The suit is a 1930's Glen Plaid suit. The waist-coat is lapel-less. And yes, I made it grainy for the look! The hat in my avatar is a 1930's Stetson Special.

Good Stuff! Spot on! The suit looks like it would lend itself well to a lilac, purple (striped only), or pink coloured, patterned, or striped shirt, or a deep piney green striped one! I just saw some beautiful Thomas Pink spread collared shirts fitting the exact description of the latter, over at Nordstrom's the other day. I was drooling over it, but the availability of the sizing there was simply beyond shoddy. Thanks for the response sir! Keep up the good style!

Outfit for today. I haven't worked out the age of the coat yet (prob. 40's or 50's), but I just had to have it because of the colour!
The black velvet hat is 30's and the shoes are modern.
