I didn’t think much of these until I spotted a worn in pair shown in Men’s File. It seems everyone was selling some variation of them up until recently, but of course now that I’m interested in a pair none can be found.
This pair from Brooks Brothers is close, but they only [...]
A few options available online… goals I had in mind in what I was looking for: classic/simple styling, a narrow to medium size brim, made from straw or shantung, and with no visible branding. Unless going the custom order route, it’s surprisingly hard to find a RTW hat which meets that criteria.
A Stetson made [...]

Engineered Garments gave a shot at one this season as well, and in this rare [...]
Brooks Brothers just updated their website today with a new redesign. It’s much easier to navigate through now, and I think it’s the first time I’ve seen them update the site like this since as long as I’ve been visiting it. Good job to the folks on their site team!
While organzing a few stacks of books I had lying around, I came across one I had forgotten about – “Generations of Style”, by John William Cooke. It’s all about the history of Brooks Brothers. I’m not sure if they’re still produced, but they seem to show up on ebay with some regularity at good [...]
