For me, it really started in 2012 when I graduated from college with a degree in History. After going back to school after 35 years in the working world (got laid off during the recession) I finally reached a lifelong goal. My wife thought I needed a "signature Historian hat". She got me a...
Fantastic example Eric. Do you even have any beater hats? Everything you share is so pristine they look like they came from the store yesterday! I suspect you have a secret time machine and are not telling us.
Love everything about this one Bill. Mike really has these finishes down to a...
Quick trip to the grocery store on a cool, but sunny day. A light weight hat was in order. My go-to for this is a wonderful early 50s Borsalino Featherweight. This hat is via Anthony Amodeo from a couple of years ago. I do love the wider brim, and the soft felt. Archive pic, didn't get the...
Beautiful. Love that bow work.
Pencil curl brims are kind of growing on me. This one is exceptional.
Wow Brent! Love that color and finish.
Great looking Aussie.
Very nice looking, classic fedora lines. Gelot? French?
One of my top ten favorites on the lounge for sure.
Another great Mallory! I haven't had my XV out for a spin in a while. You are inspiring!
Love that crease and brim work. Great color.
Love the finish on this one Max. Interesting brand.
Gorgeous Steve! Yes the brim is definitely on point.
A trip to Costco called for a more formal hat today. Also, I'm celebrating the pond being back in operation, still really green, but functioning. The homburg is an English creation from the 1950s by Robert Heath & Co. An ascot and DB jacket rounded out the look.
A short trip to the grocery store this morning in the cool air called for felt! Wore my Knox Excellent Strat clone. Got a couple of comments in Safeway, it was worth it. Too lazy to get photos, so archive shot, wearing the same puppy checked blazer as this morning.
I love the details of this old OR. This is the crease I would have other than the traditional cattleman.
How early is this one? It looks well loved.
So sorry to hear this Max. It seems that we are all touched by this horrible time. My daughter had it early on in the pandemic, thank god she...
I enjoy these early 60s Dobbs, I've got a couple. They were still making higher quality, full featured hats during the period. Not soon after, everything went in the dumper.
Classic weave Brent. I like the air conditioning feature. Our straw days up here in Oregon seem to be done for.
The landscapers are finally here to rebuild my koi pond waterfall. I have had a leak for quite a while and they did some patching. The wait for them to finish has been a real problem, my Koi have been suffering in a pea green soup. Since the labor shortage due to Covid, the landscape company...
It is definitely a unique one Brent. Lots to like about this one, that finish! And Nutria to boot. Not even my style, but I would build an out fit around this one. Kinda cool!
What an interesting color! Love that ribbon stitching. This one has some real style!
Very nice Reggie. Love that color.
Every beater should look that good!
Wow, just wow!
Love the classic look of this one Jim. The Commander is a perfect name.
This parade of beautiful hats is why I missed being on the lounge so much. This made my morning. All I see on FB is crappy modern hats with the brims up in the air :confused:
New arrival in the mail today. Too crappy outside to wear for a maiden voyage though. Picked up from the Bay for next to nothing. Shandon tweed ivy cap. Just a little on the small side, but it should break in nicely.
Much needed rain in Oregon today, we had a torch of a summer. Figured I would trot out a sturdy stingy to brave the elements. My favorite Cavanagh "Thirty", early 1960s (Rat Pack) style.
