Looks so comfy! That hat ribbon looks like it wants to creep up, it may need a stitch to keep it neatly in place. Cool hat, unknown origins notwithstanding.
Day 12 of 31 Hat Parade: Today will be my first Doctor appointment in the 'Rona Epoch. It will be by video over my phone since their office is still closed. Kind of makes the whole "turn your head and cough" thing kind of awkward I guess! What hat to wear? How about something a little...
Wonderful 'Berg my friend. The folded over gill treatment is now my absolute favorite. Mike developed the style as an experiment on my Lt. Blue Duplex a while back. He liked it so much that he has added it to his offerings. He does try out some pretty wild stuff on my commissions, and for...
Great looking crown on that Stetson Brent. The bandit look is really catching on. You are such a trend setter!
Great look, love the material on that cap. I just sit back and take your images in, kind of a mini-vacation in my head.
Nice wide pinch on that crown Perry. The felt looks so yummy!
Wow! What is your opinion about European velour hats vs anything put out by the US? Both currently (1960-present) and the golden era of the 30s and 40s. I value your wisdom. Love the Rockel brochure, truly a gift to us all during the 'Rona Times.
Day 11 of 31 Hat Parade: Went on a drug run this morning. Not quite the same as it used to be though. Vitamins and flax seed oil for the folks, and other sundries, nothing illegal. Today was a first wearing of my Salvatore Ferragamo navy brogue oxfords. Another stray from Ebay, $850 shoes for...
Day 10 of 31 Hat Parade: Another 85 degree day calls for a light weight straw hat for our walk this morning. This John Cavanagh Optimo crease "stingy" in a wonderful fine weave. Most likely from the early to mid 1960s, as was the style. The style of crease in the crown of the hat is one of the...
Boy, do I have a lot of catching up to do on this thread, as well as posting... Good lock down activity I guess.
I really love the Flying Cloud clipper ship liner on these. I am a big sailing ship fan, and the clippers of the mid 1800s are one of my favorites. Nice color of brown too. Some...
Sometimes, when you have your wife taking hat pictures, it may not be the best idea to have the Nikon on continuous release. She said "I can see myself in your sunglasses", so I was taking them off as the camera blazed away!
Super Lux - very period sounding name. Love that ribbon, kind of "puggish". The material on that suit is the bomb Michael.
I have a doctor's appointment next week, they are still closed so it will be video conferencing. I don't know how it will work to "turn my head and cough" on Zoom...
First, welcome to the Lounge! Nice looking boater, I love wearing them around town, they sure get the looks. A century ago, you would look out of place without one in public. The Bon-Ton Ivy system is a sweat attachment that has venting for cooling. I would suggest you Google it with the...
Not disparaging at all. I'm just working at putting hat posts on the front page. The admins would be helpful to make a specific hat classified to augment the vintage clothing section. We have been asking for this for years. I love reading the leather coat posts, I just don't really need any...
Bumping another hat post to the Leather Fetish Front Page. Nice hat, but I think maybe a wee bit overpriced. Whippet prices for just a Dobbs Twenty. Maybe rethink this one.
Really a special Bird Mark! My size and LO to boot! Trying to raise funds right now for my new custom from Mike Miller, so I have to resist...but my will power sucks... Spending the morning moving hat posts to the front and center of the Leather Fetish Page. Just my gift to all of us hat...
