    That would be fantastic if we could get a Stratton or Winchester rep here....

    Movie hats

    Woody Harrelson is back with a felt hat this time in the sequel to Zombieland, black telescope thing with a rolled brim. An improvement! Luke Wilson also appears in a black cowboy hat. Trailer probably NSFW:

    For some reason I think they're associated with: http://clearwaterhats.com/

    Peters Brothers

    For those who may be interested, Michaelson, one of the COW mods, posted today and bumped the Peters Bros thread over there. They still have Milan bodies, although running lower in the 3" brim ones. I asked about their recent work, noting Bill's experience with the Shady Oaks and he said what he...

    Once upon a time I had (and sold here) a grey OR-ish like hat with the same liner and sweat. I think late 50's-60's is probably the best guess. I lean more towards the "if it's not marked, it's not" camp.

    Fedora - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    1) There is a reason that separate wikis exist outside of Wikipedia, and it's precisely because the Encyclopedia format is not intended to be an exhaustive, in-depth, study of each particular subject, but rather a broad overview. Not all the pages in a hat-specific wiki are likely to meet the...

    Yet we also have posters coming in all the time starting new threads to get their hats dated or looking for general info. I would suggest this demonstrates that the utility of the lounge is not maximized. Yes, there is lots of information here, I posit that if we make it easier for people to...

    Fedora - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    ....see what? I don't think anyone in the hats forum is discussing anything other than a hat wiki. If the other sections of the lounge want to participate, they can, that's the beauty of the wiki format. But a hat wiki will not be left wanting for lack of a leather jacket section. I think...

    My guess was Longreach, also the name of a town.

    Manilla cardstock keyhole tag, probably 40's-50's. I have a similar liner in my Junior Cowboy:

    Phoenix Hat Company

    I would definitely be interested in such a hat!

    Boss of the Plains?

    I saw that one and wondered when it came from. Interesting thin ribbon configuration.

    Fedora - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    I actually think a good chunk of the Lounge knowledge would not pass Wikipedia's editorial standards because it's not backed by primary source documents. It would likely be flagged under "original research." We have surmised an awful lot from retailer catalogs, enough to give to broad outlines...

    Fedora - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    We are already doing that but nobody can find the information easily. With a wiki, you won't have to search through threads to find buried information. I'd wager if we established a wiki with basic dating guides, we would cut down on the number of forum posts from newbies with a post count of...

    Fedora - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Wookiepedia, Memory Alpha for Star Trek, A Wiki of Ice and Fire for Game of Thrones, etc, etc. Theres more than enough for a hat wiki. I would suggest starting with major companies and branching off from there. What is relevant to the history of Stetson, for example? We now have all sorts of...
