    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I was thinking exactly the same - nice collection. But then I wondered, how do you keep moths out of the room?

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Yes, and they were selling it for a song! How’s the felt - is it as nice as I think it is? What I especially love about the 3X is the smell - it smells like delicious, clean, raw earth!

    Show us your Stingy Brims

    I studied in Heidelberg. Great town. A bit expensive but well worth it! Great shot - the house (mansion) I lived in while studying is just out of view to your right across the river. The hat looks great, too, btw :)

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    That’s something along the lines of what I was thinking when I first started wearing the 3X, but each new mark it got was like claws down a blackboard! And boy does a white hat mark easy! If they were easy to get I wouldn’t mind, but I can’t afford to make another 150 USD purchase so I’m gonna...

    Never mind, Bowen, I found them on Westerns, Anyone. Man that’s a sweet hat! I’m glad you picked it up and we get to see more of it!

    Western, anyone?

    Excellent, wow! I’m really happy it went to a Lounger! What’s that old FL saying, show a shot of it on your head or it never happened? :D

    So glad to hear it’s a nice one Bowen. Have you got any photos up yet?

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    My 3X came in pristine white condition, absolutely beautiful even for a new hat let alone one that’s over a half-decade old. Now it’s got a dark stain from some runoff water during a sudden downpour and I’ve definitely learned to appreciate the adventure of a “beater”!

    I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite - the 3X Stetson is SUPER nice. But I did anticipate getting back to the FED IV and finding its stock to be much diminished. Quite the contrary, the stock actually rose a bit. Absence makes the heart grow fonder maybe?

    Thanks hatsR, that’s a good tip. I’m sure I won’t do it to this hat, but it’s good to bear in mind for future additions to my small collection.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I purchased my first really vintage hat a few months ago and left the Akubra FED IV behind while on my trip to Australia.... Just arrived back to it and we went out for a walk today in the rain. Boy, I like this hat! Even after wearing the 3X Stetson for the last few months, there’s still...

    The 3X Stetson is getting his first taste of the tropics (his first taste that I know of!). I think he loves it - what’s not to like? Cheers, Nathan

    Stetson "Shady Oak"

    Excellent! Can’t wait to see it on ya Bowen!

    Stetson "Shady Oak"

    There is a very nice Shady Oaks 7 1/8 going on eBay right now. It would be lovely if it went to a Lounger - I just can’t purchase another hat myself at the moment. This appears to be a fantastic price...

    Hi all, does anybody have any tips for protecting the engraving on leather sweatbands? I’m wearing the heck out of my vintage Stetson and the “XXX Stetson” gold writing at the front is already starting to show signs of rubbing of from forehead contact. Any suggestions?

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Thank you for saying so, Red. I couldn’t do it if it wasn’t done in love and the community here in Melbourne has begun to feel so much like family that it feels I’m leaving the Champ with a dear cousin.

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Unless it’s a heritage of tyranny that is being undone. I’m not referencing the recent controveries in the U.S. so much as tyrannies like Stalin and Mao. Taking that heritage apart is worthwhile, imo, and perhaps Alessandrians felt that moving forward after the Borsalino era necessitated undoing...

    Thanks Daniele! I look forward to watching this again with your notes to help me navigate the Italian. Buongiornata!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I’m not actually wearing this hat today but i’d like to mark the occasion. It’s always bittersweet to gift a hat, but this feels like the right move for me to make. My friend Felix here in Melbourne looks great in this vintage Champ and he can’t afford to invest in something worthwhile right...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    I just purchased my first Borsalino. I won’t have it in hand for another three weeks when I return to the U.S. and I have no idea of the quality of what I’m getting, but the price was right for me and I’ll post photos when I’m finally in possession of it (it’s one of those later model wide...
