I consider myself a “hat guy” with many different styles,shapes and materials,from straw to felt and leather to wool.They all eventually have one common problem;dirty,sweaty and smelly sweat bands! I would think by now there would be an easy way to clean the bands at home. I have looked for solutions online at many websites and short of dyi recipies where I need to mix chemicals and use a toothbrush have come up empty. Does anybody have a good suggestion on how to deodorize my beloved hats ?

The picture of Frank Sinatra and that gent on the top will tell you how you wear and dress it up. Also, one should know how to keep his fedora clean and the gentlemanly way how to remove his hat when entering a building.

The fundamental problem with hats is nicely illustrated in this pic:

By all means you do not NEED a knife. Drawing a deadly weapon in a dangerous situation, can only heed negative results. Either try to diffuse the situation with words, or use your fists to defend yourself, OR you run. If you draw a knife on a thief, who too has a knife. Now your in a knife fight, and you have no option but to win. You escalated a petty robbery, into a deadly knife fight. The thief could have a gun, and now since you just pulled a knife, he will now shoot you. So leave the samurai swords at home. Now a for-functional woodsman knife, is perfectly fine. Pocketknifes (ie. switchblades) are a no no.

If you are wearing a nice suit, pulling out a bright pink bic lighter is not the same as a classy zippo. And lets not forget the lost art of the cigarette case. While smoking is on the outs in most situations, it can still show a lot of class.

I’d be interested on do’s / do not’s for formal wear, specifically black tie. I don’t envision myself ever being in a social circle where white tie would be appropriate or warranted…but I’d be interested in a tailor’s take on proper tux wear, vest vs cumberbund, bow tie vs normal tie, double and/or satin lapels vs straight black, and so on.

My wardrobe could do with some organising tips, very good series so far.
