    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    An eighty-five year old Stetson boater in remarkably fine condition. I love a hat that's older than me.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I have two Buffalonian boaters sold from the Kleinhans Company... a long time local mens store that billed itself as the largest in the country at one point in time. They are gone now. Different styles, straw and construction - both with a pomade badge on the liner. Someday maybe I'll find a...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Found in a consignment store in New Hampshire… apparently it was the last from a group of men’s hats that came from one home. Wish I could have seen the others!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Today, a montecristi hat of modest weave... interesting for an NRA label which helps pinpoint its age as ninety years.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    These "genuine" panama hats were available from all the prominent companies in the 40s-50s. This Lee variation is the first straw hat that I purchased from eBay. Not too precious and a comfortable wearer on a steamy hot day that might be stressful to something older/rarer.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    The Eagle has landed... just in time for a hot week ahead. This is a very light old yeddo straw boater that I was able to coax up two sizes to a comfortable fit.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    An old parabuntal body in its original bamboo packaging that was blocked and finished in plantation style by Optimo c.2013. A very lightweight hat to wear in the heat.

    Turquoise/Native American jewelry

    I keep a few searches active on eBay for work by Native silversmiths whose work I have collected over the years. One that rarely returns a match is Sam Roanhorse - younger brother of Ambrose Roanhorse, an important figure in the history of 20th century Native American craft. There is some...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Paid a brief visit to my old neighborhood recently... Jackson Heights is bustling and the old apartment house I lived in up til 1963 looked better than I remember it.

    parbuntal straw hats

    Hello old thread... I had always assumed (for no good reason) that the Stetson Balibuntal (shown in the three year old post just above) was a trade marketing name originated by Stetson for a line of hats - perhaps inspired by the 1949 hit musical South Pacific and its number Bali Ha'i... it...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Stetson Balibuntal - a parabuntal weave featuring some unknown process of weather protection. This is a very durable and comfortable hat that is one of my most worn summer toppers. It orignally came to me with a maroon paisley pugaree that was nice looking with the bronze straw but it was...

    How does one pick their favorite Lo Bue? I don't knew, but this is probably my most worn... because it goes with everything.

    Turquoise/Native American jewelry

    A long necklace of Navajo pearls - large hand made coin silver round and hogan beads with a small concho at the tie... perhaps early 20th century. Recently acquired.

    Turquoise/Native American jewelry

    Thanks to Greg for sharing the auction for this Michael Schmaltz (former lounge member Michaelshane) piece. I've admired Michael's work for some time but have never come across a piece to purchase until now. Here it is cleaned up some. It will make a nice Mother's Day gift for my bride.
