Tweed Cap Season and Podcasting

The season's best tweed cap is on the ASW store shelves as I write. Shaped like the caps worn by the Prince of Wales in the 1930's and made by the capmaker to English royalty, these are satin lined on the inside and John G. Hardy's world-renowned Alsport tweed on the outside. Warm and rain-resistant, they are offered in three colorways: the lovely gun club on a mid-brown ground in the photo, a blue/gray herringbone and a light olive with gold and rust overchecks. Wear them with a scarf and a tweed odd jacket, a shirt jacket or a heavy sweater. And put one of Michael Drake's wool and silk pocket squares in the pocket of the jacket (they are in the new arrivals section of the store). I have but twenty of them and last year they didn't last long.

On a completely different note, we now have what appears to be a working voicemailbox for anyone who would like to submit a clothing-related question that he or she would like answered on a future ASW podcast. Call (800) 578-8605 toll-free from within the United States or +1 (775) 473-9592 from anywhere else in the world, at any time. Press 9 at the prompt to reach the podcast voicemailbox and begin speaking at the tone. Identify yourself, where you are calling from, and ask away. I have to reserve the right to choose those questions that I believe will be the most interesting to listeners but hopefully that will be all of them. We expect to begin podcasting as soon as we get the rest of the reverberation out of the system...
