    ADAM ALLEY

    Hatophile, it's one thing having long hair, another thing having long GREY hair. Forget the word "silkiness": in the morning, trying to get a comb through it was, well, a bit rough.

    ADAM ALLEY

    Thanks a lot, guys. BTW, some of you who might have paid more than average attention: ...cut my hair, happened just the other day...let my Adam flag fly! Short hair -mostly- goes so much better with "classic" hats, fedoras (there's exceptions there to prove the point, though!) Already...

    ADAM ALLEY

    My Adam hat, a "Chelsea", arrived an hour ago from Middle Island, NY. It's in good shape, except for one moth nibble exactly on the rim of the brim, and some "rust spots" on the liner. And it pretty much fits. The hat was very dusty, and brushing it roughly also released a lot of shellac...

    Would a man be buried with his Stetson 100?

    Thank you very much for your views, insights, traditions and ... songs. I must give it thought, which hat, some day...mañana maybe... Pablo

    Western, anyone?

    Thanks for those Buffalo Bill and Tom Mix photographs...kettle finish raw edges! FMW, great collection. I'm certain you wear cowboy hats... if it weren't for that huge number of people in the western USA wearing their cowboy hats, the very idea might have disappeared altogether, and "felt"...

    Would a man be buried with his Stetson 100?

    My wife is an avid reader (in the French language) and sometimes I ask her about what she's reading, to which she sometimes comments. So, this morning, she told me how she'd just read about a grandfather who'd passed away in a retirement home and they moved him back to, I believe, Seligman AZ...

    My first few hats... (newbie)

    ..there's even (at least) one Belgian here, dag A.J., stay on the lounge, after a while you'll be able to post pictures of your collection, which is necessary because we want to see those hats, caps, and other sovietskaya stuff I personally don't know about. Reading through the Fedora Lounge...

    Lee Black, White, Red Label... What Did it Mean?

    Alan, HatsEnough, Zetwal: interesting concourse. Yes, very good build quality, visibly serious. The hat, or rather the crown felt, cannot be called "stiff", it's supple enough, the crease is easy enough to change. On the other hand, it doesn't have much of a tendency to remain put, it...

    Thanks, Buler: very systematic; good!

    Lee Black, White, Red Label... What Did it Mean?

    Glad to oblige, Zetwal (yes, it is in the Lee Lounge) It's one of my better hats, definitely a winter weight (with slightly longish "hair"), for which reason the felt is not as supple as the "real" nice hats. Quality build, though, and in very good condition (probably 1940's or perhaps...

    On the desire of adding a wind trolley to a Stetson 100

    Thanks guys, I get the general feeling. Maybe the missing trolley got deleted from my hat somewhere in England (I bought it off the British Ebay), like the previous owner saying "what in the world might that thing be, a yank model lasso"? and ...snip, off it went. I'll write Optimo for a...

    Western, anyone?

    Very nice hats, I agree, and thanks a lot. That's the way it is, with our hobby (and money does help, I admit-I refer to the Nutria, which didn't come cheap), but there's some treasures on eBay I would never have even suspected existed if that marketplace had not come to be created. As to...

    On the desire of adding a wind trolley to a Stetson 100

    Aheuh... thanks your opinion, Michaelshane. Land of Enchantment: that can only be NM... ain't that one of the most beautiful, colorful, states...

    Western, anyone?

    Here's some of my favorite western hats... 1940's Stetson Nutria "movie hat".... Beaver Hats (or Beaver Brand, I though) cowboy hat, re-creased more to my taste... a lil' detail....making it South-South-Western, I reckon'... as it was, before I altered the...

    On the desire of adding a wind trolley to a Stetson 100

    Oooh... that's a nice hat, MayserWegener, I'm impressed and...how it looks like a "100"! I'm still awaiting an Adam hat from the bay, getting increasingly curious. Let me contact Optimo about that wind trolley, thanks for the idea. Grüss../Paul

    On the desire of adding a wind trolley to a Stetson 100

    My absolute favorite hat is a Stetson 100, which I acquired at very reasonable cost but had to send to Optimo in Chicago for cleaning and recreasing (!), as well as resizing, necessitating a new sweatband. As a result, the hat became a personal best, but the back-and-forth transport and...

    Lee Black, White, Red Label... What Did it Mean?

    I can confirm that my ... er... Lee Water-Bloc Fifth Avenue Beaver Nap Twenty Gold Label (sigh) has an original "Lee" $20.00 price label under the sweatband. Seems to me, and that isn't limited to the Lee brand, hat manufacturers did everything to confuse themselves in the naming department...
