Post New Hats Here!
Thanks, Bushman. I's an amazing hat. Rick, Alan--I imagine Hudson's did a pretty good hat business in Detroit during the post-war automobile boom. Here is some additional info about them. The article mentions they were acquired by the Dayton Co. in 1969. Dayton's Men's Store also shows up on... -
Post New Hats Here!
I had a good week. These two showed up in the mail. Acquired from sellers a continent apart, they were originally sold by Hudson's in Detroit. Borsalino Alessandria--naptha bathed and brushed, steamed and shaped. Lee Trinity Blue Label--practically unworn, and unlike many post-war Lees... -

Post New Hats Here!
I've often wondered what stories these old hats could tell if they could. Fascinating. Thanks for sharing this Alan. -

Historyteach--I think it looks fine. I like seeing the finger dents. They show that you did it by hand as opposed to the crease having been done in the factory like most modern hats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Great show today guys. I think the Strats are winning. teach-- to answer your question, I prefer a diamond crease in my Strats, but I have to say tommyk's center dent looks great. Here is a new arrival, an unworn Lee Trinity from before Lee started factory blocking the crowns in their hats... -
vintage caps
Blackthorn--same with my father's family. They were too poor to leave Texas for California in the '30s. But it looks like you and I made it here anyway, two generations later. -

Nyc expose - fedoras
hatophile mentioned in another thread a GQ article he had seen recently. I looked at the online version and didn't find the article he mentioned, but I found this article about mens' fashion in London: http://www.gq.com/fashion-shows/mens-collections/london-fall-winter-2015 A lot of men... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I've got one almost just like it in pristine condition and the photos don't reveal much about the condition, but the price was right. http://www.ebay.com/itm/111578153929 -

Harv, Matt, Rick--Thanks guys. Matt--Believe it or not, the Playboy is a 7 1/2 Long Oval. It was a very lucky find by way of fellow Lounger bond. Rick--It's more of an almond color, with a ribbon that fades from that color to a rose-pink shade. -

Matt, great looking Strat, nice color on that one. Congrtas. Richard--I never wore a fur hat when I lived in the northeast, but looking back on it and thinking of all the days I was out in extreme cold, I wish I had had one. I haven't been out of the house yet today, but here are the hats I... -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Amazing story, Alan. I often wonder whether someone I know will pop in to the Lounge unbeknownst to me and recognize me, but that is remarkable. It reminds me of when I lived in Upstate New York in a town of 7,500 people, about a six hour drive from NYC. It seemed every time I went to NY I would... -
The Lee Lounge
I just found a Lee Trinity Blue Label with labeling and other details very similar to yours, Steve. In the photos I saw it doesn't look like it has the plastic crown tip protector. It has the same $10 price tag, but no OPS label. It doesn't appear to be factory blocked. I'll post photos when I... -
5 Hats for Life - Your Choices
tony--As I was trying to narrow it down to five hats I was thinking along the same lines. But you have put it into terms that sum up far better than I could the dilemma of choosing only five hats! -
The Lee Lounge
Rick--nice find. I agree, Lee made some nice hats and early-50s and earlier rival most other brands of the era. Steve is correct, '50s Lees seem to have been factory blocked. I have a Trinity that may even be a late '40s hat and it was blocked. There is always the possibility it was later...
