    Modern fur felt Bowlers

    We know that's not true, since for a while there someone listed on eBay a Stetson (licensed) soft felt fedora made in Japan for Mitsukoshi. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=23548 As for modern bowlers, you just can't make them with crap wool felt and poorly sewn brim...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    What a liner. Is the sweatband missing or does it have a marbled appearance?

    J. Robert Oppenheimer Fedora

    I would trade almost anything I have for a hat like Bohr's. The one Oppenheimer appears to wear in some of the pictures is similar in some ways to the one Frank Lloyd Wright wore, but shaped by the wearer differently. Very thin felt for a dress hat, nothing like a Western felt. I'd suggest...

    No one could be expected to resist a vintage Borsalino Feather Weight. That's a great one.

    **NEWS EXTRA**Good Wear flying jackets take vintage authenticity to new heights!!

    Congratulations Looks great to me. Maybe you're worried it looks baggy in the back and around the sides and the arms seem a bit long? I don't think so (though it's up to you). I think you'll find that the leather in the torso will relax and drape evenly and nicely and the sleeves will...

    Your Unique, One of a Kind Hats.

    I can't keep up with those guys. rlk has months in which he buys as many hats as I own! I will have a look at what I have around. For the moment I will remind everyone of one of my strangest (and as yet not worn in public) hats: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=14423...

    Whiskey VS -- Straight, No Chaser...

    You have TWO VS hats now? I suspect that we cannot fully appreciate the color from photos. Hope to see it in person some day. I wonder if you could compare the process and result of forming the crown of a new VS hat and forming the crown of a good vintage hat?

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Sure looks like it to me. Superb Milan hat. Really made in Italy, too, I bet. And what a pugaree. I've never held one of those modern Optimo "milans" (with Chinese bodies), but I can't imagine you get as nice a hat for your $500. Do post pix when it arrives.

    **NEWS EXTRA**Good Wear flying jackets take vintage authenticity to new heights!!

    Well enjoy it for now, Mark. Good of you. I was about to take comparison snaps of the button holes on my GW A-1... but I took a close look and I'll do John a favor and NOT post them. They work. We'll leave the close-up for the beaut pictured above.

    Fall/Winter 10/11 "The Few" product range

    Wow, for the price of one The Few A-2, you can buy two Good Wear jackets and still have enough money left over to pick up a custom fedora from Art Fawcett. And of course you can forget it if you're bigger than a (Japanese) 46.

    Wesco Boots Sale

    I note that there is once again a sale at Wesco. This time it's 10% off. Boy am I miffed since I just bought a pair of factory seconds. Actually, I'm still thrilled with what I got for what I paid. Two tone Redwood and black 8" waffle stompers. Great looking, great fit. Appear to be true...
