Alden Truflare Last Size?
It's very similar to the trubalance, but the truflare has a slight tilt outward and a bit more arch support. It's my favorite of all the lasts.- Matt Deckard

Cary Grant sunglasses in north by northwest
It's not the Tart Arnel, even though the shape is pretty close. No diamonds and the bridge on the Tart is flat across the top not arched like Grant's. It doesn't look like a Persol either. If you look at the temples in the pic it's not an arrow or a diamond, it's two pins on either side.- Matt Deckard

Matt Deckard Apparel
Just been working to get them to perfection with what you'd find deadstock from the past. Body, collar and all. It's taken some time but I've done it. This is the Paramount collar shirt. Unfused but double stitched. I love collars that have a mind of their own and don't look like cardboard...- Matt Deckard

Hats....
Thanks, I've always been frustrated with how companies today don't make off the rack styles with the right crown and brim dimension of a 1930s hat, so I decided to do them myself. Powell Cagney- Matt Deckard

Hats....
Felt prices just keep going up. I remember when I could get an Optimo for 400, now they are near 600. Kind of like the price hike Disneyland did for their annual passes.- Matt Deckard

Matt Deckard Apparel
I was asked to show how packable a fedora could be so I made another vid. Packable Any felt breaks down over time, just like any suit wears out. I chose a very good felt so it wouldn't break down very quickly. I like clothes that I can abuse. This is a hat you can roll up and abuse... But...- Matt Deckard

Matt Deckard Apparel
I tweaked the design a bit, went with a block that's straighter and a little bit higher, a sweatband that is a bit deeper and for this hat, darker like those I find in late 20s early 30s hats. It's more of a copy of that bone colored hat that I had pinched on the Queen Mary in 2005. I just...- Matt Deckard

Allen Edmonds Strawfut
Check out the video. The ones made for me are a special make on the #1 last, I wanted that bigger toe box like the originals. I also asked for a Poron insole and Rendenbach soles with a leather combination heel. Very light weight, these are as close to the originals as they get. I plan on taking...- Matt Deckard

Allen Edmonds Shell cordovan shoe cream
I'm going to see what just sunlight rain and a brushing now and again does to the shell. I'll wax and cream my calf but I think I like the messy look the hard wearing cordovan takes (even though it's yet to look in any way messy). i might change my mind in time with them already having a few...- Matt Deckard
