    Indoor Headwarmers

    http://southpacificberets.com/tunisia---chechias.php Daan at South Pacific Berets has some nice North African Chechias. They have some religious connotation from what I've read on his site, but are mostly everyday headwear. It just happens that the majority of people in that part of the world...

    Show us your Tiki/Polynesian Pop collections: rooms, bars, mugs, etc.

    Thanks fellas, I've had a lot of fun with tiki—still do, but I don't have as much free time these days. I have to say, the late fifties and early sixties; the whole atomic modern/cocktail/tiki life style appeals to me in a big way. I'm a confirmed retro-grouch. Mike, it's a little devil in a...

    Show us your Tiki/Polynesian Pop collections: rooms, bars, mugs, etc.

    Nice thread. I have about a dozen or more vintage and modern tiki mugs and various and sundry tiki sculptures, art, etc.—most of it stashed at the moment. I'll have to dig them out and record them for posterity. I've seen several vintage mugs in this thread that I'm lucky to have. A few pieces...

    Any modelers on Fedora Lounge?

    Like an early poster on this thread, I build and fly model rockets. This photo is from '12 and the fleet has probably doubled in size—I've lost count.

    Nothing but stetson ads

    I agree—it could've been done a bit better, though. Probably should have thought it through with a better headline and/or perhaps some body (sell) copy to avoid any confusion and make a stronger statement. This is a great thread.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Yep, Fruno, it's the modern one. Takes any dent your finger puts in it (as you know). I've got a kind of sloppy diamond in it at the moment—which, I'm liking the more casual bashes it takes. I like your light grey one a bunch. I may have to look at other colors in this model. It's a hit with me...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Wearing the Stetsonian today—really like this hat. It has a feel unlike any of my other lids and I love the color. Sorry for the non-head shot, but I refuse to be caught taking a selfie.

    WTT Akubras Taupe Fawn Campdraft size 59

    Hi Spudman, if you do end up keeping it—wet the sweat band from the back and place it over a lit lamp (shade) to dry. You'll find that it shrinks nicely. My CD's were "down-sized" from 59 to 58 in this fashion. They're cured (the sweatbands) differently than Stetsons.

    Photographs Of Hats Fresh From Surviving The Elements

    Forecast called for rain and so, it became a Camp Draft day by default. Three blocks from Independence to "E" Street.

    Berets, Anyone?

    Thank you Daan, for your reply—just what I wanted to know. These berets are as addicting as hats. Lefty, real nice lid. Nice size on you too.

    Berets, Anyone?

    Curious about the elastic in the cotton ones. Do they grip as well as say, the Super lujos? I'm thinking about a beret for the summer sailing season when it's flipp'in hot. Something cool, with a grip that will stay on in good breeze.

    Thank you Moon, and eveyone else for your help. What a great community. Fantastic hats, sound advice and encouragement. It's much appreciated. "Cheech and Chong crown," heh, heh. I'm gonna use that—if I can remember ;)

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I'm with ya, Spudman. I like this bugger. Photos tend to flatten out the brim.

    Hatophile, you have some great hats—there hasn't been a one that I didn't like, but the colors and shape on the Adam, strike me just right.

    Toppers Unite

    Stunning top hats! The curled (?) brims notch them a step higher in my book.

    What the heck does Jughead wear?

    I read somewhere that union factory labor started with a stripped out fedora, pull it tight on to your head, fold up and cut the edge you wanted. Labor buttons where adornments. The fella below was fond of grommets. I can see where they'd be practical in a factory or industrial environment.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    As always, a great looking collection of hats. Eric, those two on your backseat look dynamite. You have mighty fine taste. Me? I'm still getting the hang of things. BGCD. This one may get a new bash sometime this week.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Fruno, Moon, you're absolutely correct. And, it fits! Gorgeous color, just what I wanted. This hat is tall. Feels great. I'm delighted--thanks for the great input gentlemen.
