    Thurston Bros. - Official Affiliate Thread

    Just last week I placed my first Aero order; Zip Sleeve Highwayman in Size 38 (waist tapered to a 36) in Brown Heavy C/X Steerhide. I've been reading through this entire thread the past 2 days and all the gorgeous pics are so enabling that I also ordered a Vanson Model B and will likely be...

    Hat size reducer

    Good day, fellow loungers! I recently bought a gorgeous custom hat from Art Fawcett that is a blend between the Humphrey Bogart & Indiana Jones fedora, in size 58. Two weeks ago, I went full bald (and I intend on retaining my baldness), so now my head measures a 57. I'm looking for a way of...

    Thanks mate! Few things put a big smile on a gent's face like a nice fedora does, but a great compliment comes pretty close :)

    True Classic Borsalino Fedora?

    1.5 month later and I have my fedora! I asked Art for a Humphrey Bogart/Harrison Ford crossover in Steel Century (pure beaver) felt, and this is what he crafted me. Excuse the background, there are few other mirrors with such excellent lighting in the near vicinity at our home.

    Don't worry, this beauty is nailed to my head now. And thanks, Art really did a wonderful job on this one!

    I thank thee. When good advice is given, it serves one well to take it.

    True Classic Borsalino Fedora?

    It's a shame, though... Borsalino's hats look very classy, and the fact that it's a family owned business just gives it that extra bump to really stand out above other hat manufacturers. I suppose falling victim to cheaper and more shoddy producing methods is just too easy nowadays. Thank...

    The elegant name sure has something to say for itself.

    True Classic Borsalino Fedora?

    When you're new to something, it's always grand when the veterans are more than willing to lend a helping hand. Thank you, gentlemen. I have decided on getting a custom-made fedora by Art Fawcett. Scouting eBay for a vintage hat would be too much of a hassle in terms of sizing, and I don't...

    True Classic Borsalino Fedora?

    I e-mailed Art Fawcett, his fedoras look sublime. Thanks for the advice, much appreciated!

    True Classic Borsalino Fedora?

    Gentlemen, thank you for your very informative answers. I'll definitely be taking a look at the Federation IV, the price tag is very attractive (as is the hat itself). Aside from that, however, I still want to get my hands on a Borsalino. Are there any owners of modern Borsalino's who can tell...

    True Classic Borsalino Fedora?

    Ever since I saw Indiana Jones as a kid, I've wanted a vintage, classic fedora. Many hats have come and gone over the years, none truly being the real deal. Having come across Borsalino recently, I've been looking at getting one of their fine fedoras. Many people on this forum state they are the...
