    FS: Panama Bob Indiana & Royal Stetson OR clone, Sz 7

    Ok how about $25 for the Panama, and $60 for the Stetson? Price tag still intact!

    Black Sheep Hat Works

    You know, the sweatband is coming out of one of my Borsos.....it's a shame really, but it'd be a bigger shame to not wear it because it didn't have an intact sweatband..I should ship it off to Bob actually.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    It's never a bad hat day on the Lounge! David: nice Adam, not sure that I've ever seen more decorative stitches on a single hat. The wind cord button matching the binding is a nice touch. Andy: Proportions look good! That lightweight black cherry is great felt. HatsRme: snazzy pork pie...

    3 1/2 is exceedingly low for a fedora style hat. Is there a particular reason you want something this small? Seems like something that small would be a child sized hat. I don't know of any variation in the thickness of wool felt. Frankly, I don't think that much thought gets put into the...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I would be downright shocked if Facade's comments were the result of any formal education in social sciences, anthropology, or related fields. In fact, I'm quite positive the opposite is true. As far as the topic at hand in the OT: most everyone now knows that hats are "my thing," so to speak...

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    Obviously those kids do not see their own actions as being rude to each other. If they're not taking offense, they obviously do not see it as rudeness. Mores and values change over time. Doesn't mean we all have to like those changes, but I really wish people would stop reacting so...

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    Yeah, those kids today and their newfangled ipods. Nothing like the 'good old days' at all.

    Right here, but be aware that most vintage hat model names have been lost to history; without a shot of the inside liner it may not be possible to identify a specific brand.

    FS: Panama Bob Indiana & Royal Stetson OR clone, Sz 7

    Bought both of these on a whim and have decided that I'd rather support HATCO/Stetson's open crown revival (selling a vintage Stetson to have funds for a modern Stetson?!? I know, it's a crazy, crazy world). The Panama Bob Indiana model is a no frills hat, not a superfine weave, only a...

    Can't decide between Mink and black. The Temple I had in mink was a really nice color, but a black TAR might be nice too....

    Musician's hats

    I'd go for If I Should Fall From Grace with God. The title track is one of their best known songs. It also has the Christmas classic "Fairytale of New York," which to this day is routinely voted Britain's favorite Christmas song, as well as the excellent "Thousands are Sailing," penned by Mr...

    Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!

    Oh, one other question Jeff, if you'd be so kind. What's the thickness of the felt like on the Stratoliner?

    Musician's hats

    RIP Mr. Philip Chevron, best known as the guitarist for the Celtic punk band The Pogues, as well as his own band The Radiators. He passed today, age 56, after a battle with cancer.

    Has anyone bought the Poet from Swaine Adeney Brigg (Herbert Johnson)

    Neither the modern HJ poet, nor current production Borsalinos, pass the bar for "high quality" compared to a vintage hat. My vote for a Raiders hat goes (in no particular order): 1) Custom, see: Garrison, Penman, Adventurebilt. Made to measure, highest quality materials. 2) The Henry from...
