    Ask a question, get an answer

    Thanks for the replies, guys. I was also considering a buzz cut. Watching some videos on YouTube, I got the feeling that going from a head of (albeit thinning) hair, to buzz cut, to shaved, is a bit like going from no hats, to stingy brims, to wider brims. But I was also left with the...

    Akubra Overload

    Welcome to the lounge. Good to see another Japan resident here. Where are you? I’m in Wakayama. Also nice to see a fan of my home country of New Zealand.

    Some questions for all you baldies out there. The situation on my pate has had me considering joining your ranks for some time now. Will I need to purchase a bunch of hat spacers? Did it affect your hat size? My hair is quite fine anyway so I’m guessing it won’t make a huge difference. What...

    FS Borsalino lightweight fedora in grey size 59 (7 3/8 American)

    Couldn’t convince her. I’ll have to pass on this one.

    FS Borsalino lightweight fedora in grey size 59 (7 3/8 American)

    I just did a quick measurement. I think you’re right. I usually wear 59, but Borsalinos do seem to run small. It would fit Etsuko. I‘ll see what she has to say tomorrow. I doubt she’ll be up for it, though.

    Needless to say, I’m very interested.

    FS Borsalino lightweight fedora in grey size 59 (7 3/8 American)

    How would that compare in size and quality to the Bismuto?

    There’s something about that Mossant that takes it for me.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Yeah, the navy Homburg I’ve been wearing for the last couple of days will stay as it is, but I think the black one will get a pinch.

    Or do you think I should fork out ¥31,420 for 50ml of this?

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Very nice. I think I’m going to give my black homburg a pinch. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    I just put it in my Amazon cart, but again, it goes for a lot more than some great Islays. Significantly more than my favourite Lag 16. And I wonder if I’m going to splash out, if I would be better spending a little less for this.

    Predictive text, spellcheck and autocorrect drive me nuts sometimes. It seems worse on this site for some reason. That’s a Dobbs Homburg.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Dobbs Homburg in navy with purple ribbon and brim binding for a visit to Osaka. Etsuko went for an Akubra Leisure Time.

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    Back in Osaka, I had to go back to the Blarney Stone for another beautiful pour of Guinness. Etsuko went for her favourite Yona Yona Ale. I was in my almost black, navy Donna Homburg with the purple ribbon.

    Looks great. Fantastic job. Well done!

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    You’re right, of course. Perhaps when it comes down to it, my taste preference is just for Islays, and again, perhaps I’m just not familiar enough with Speysides. Can you recommend some at a price point similar to those Islays? I realise there may be significant differences in the US vs...
