    Summary of Fur Felt quality markings?

    I know that “Look” Bob. I’ve bought several hats deformed in pics that turned out to be outstanding in every way for very little $. A black Boss Raw Edge Fray, a Vita-Felt Strat and oddly enough a Stetson Premier Panama. Would have cost a fortune if steamed and brushed. Love those “smashing”...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Hilarious Fruno!! I love Dad jokes and Boomer jokes/references especially and particularly if told by the enlightened younger single folks. Because….Dads and Boomers been around long enough and through enough to sit back and chuckle knowing how sweet it would be just to reply “get back to me...

    Van Page Brown @HoosierDaddy, In Memoriam

    A tribute to Van or our @HoosierDaddy near 6 months since his passing. I’ve meant to write this for a while. Now seems the right moment. HD was a lot of things to a lot of people. We loungers here, knew him of his lounge presence. Sometimes taken as somewhat harsh and of a solid opinion on many...

    Is it possible to wash 100% Wool pants at home?

    Get these. Soak in Woolite, cold water, gently agitate by hand, rinse the dry on stretchers. People have been hand washing delicate fabrics using Woolite since 1951. No sense in trying to reinvent the wheel. B

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Marc, another great jacket as usual. That letter looks like one that comes after a Draft notice. Date appears to be shortly after the Korean war. Can’t imagine why anyone would keep that letter in their pocket. At least not anything good that became of it. Just an observation. B

    <<< incoming from Good Wear >>>

    The French seams with contrasting stitching throughout are just magic. This model in particular has symmetry that highlights the beauty of French seams like no other. Truly a pinnacle jacket and work of art at every level!! B

    The Conversion Corral

    I saw your new user name and knew immediately it was you by your pic. I could recall your first name but not last. Just figured you forgot your pass word. It happens and in life s**t happens! Been a bunch of that. Welcome back @formerlyknownasNF. Glad you’re here and the Peter’s Bro is still...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Those poor girls!! I wouldn’t wish getting Max a hat on them. They’d have to conjure up J.B. Stetson or old man MacLachlan to hand build one in Graham’s Optimo shop then get Fabergé to build a case. Or just get him a goofy golf hat with a green visor. Lol Happy Father’s Day fellas. B

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    ATTENTION HD riders: PSA: this shop has a ton of HD jackets and apparel. Mostly modern, some vintage?, men’s and womens and some other brands. Reasonable Bins and looks like all have offers accepted. It must be a HD dealer liquidating stock. Idk but it’s a lot of gear. B

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I don’t know @wsmontana….i keep felt wide brims always. You can’t head bust through undergrowth in a straw and then there’s the rain. Lol My fav is a felt campaign. Can’t beat the bullet crown for push through and rain shed. Have a great season, totally envious!! B

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Ida got him with “who do you think you are, a proctologist”? But that’s just me. B

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Ok something different. How about a “How i reacted to other folks wearing a hat” story?? So…i got a grass cut boy that mows my lawn. He’s a high school student that most folks (me) might call challenged, i don’t know, or goofy for sure. The kind you’d rather not talk to because they won’t shut...

    Fedora Lounge dress hat test

    It seems the Similar Treads that follows the reg thread postings throws up some really old archived treads lately on my phone. Or maybe i just never never did my scroll diligence in the past. This one had quite the cast of characters, i must say. Beat the heck out of is it an Open Road or not...
