I know this may sound random, but trust me... "it's all part of the plan."

Does anyone by chance have a straw skimmer hat (AKA a boater hat) that I could borrow, or know where I can get one of decent quality for a reasonable price (without going online, for I'd need it Friday)?

For that matter, what are those knobbily canes that folks (vaudevillian-types, I think) would use to accompany skimmer hats? Y'know, when they'd go out on a merry jaunt around 1910 or whenever?

Finally, does anyone know where I can procure men's sock garters? I tried calling Syms, but that went nowhere, and an older gentlemen at Macy's said he hadn't seen those in years.

Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated.

can you put ladies elastic garters with the dress tie-back clip things in some unholy sock-garter combination? I can't say if it would look good or not, since lady garters tend to be frilly.

hrm... perhaps you can just sew a cuff of elastic and add the clip thingies to it?
