I can't believe it...
Love those hats. But carouselvic is right: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showpost.php?p=100771&postcount=53 It's the Eulan Bayer tag on the sweat that gives it away. The important thing to remember is that Borsalinos remained top quality till around 1980. -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Uh, those two homburgs do not look identical. Meaning no offense to the owner of the gray hat, but your camel homburg is by far superior felt, crown height, block, brim curl, etc. Without seeing the interior, I'm betting it's older. -
TELL me this fedora went to YOU!
Wow, MC, you sure took Scotrace seriously. This board really can be life changing. Unfortunately, Dusty is no longer on the Lounge. -
Post New Hats Here!
I think those old oilskin-type liners are cool. And literally so, compared to the later plastic ones. I say keep it. That is an old looking tag, but I'd hate to guess on the age. Nice hat. I have two Knox 20s and I like 'em. -
Decline of hat wearing - What Makes a Man Wear a Hat? - Article
It may say more about the speaker than it does about hats or men in general. Doesn't resonate with me at all. Otherwise, a decent article, I'd say. Hats: another reason to hate cars and love public transit. -

The Stetsonian Institution
Another Brown Royal Deluxe The felt on this hat is everything I'd want from a dress felt. Crisp, but not stiff, thin and dense. Nice rich brown. Somehow I still haven't warmed to this hat. I think the problem is the way the crown is formed. I should reform it to make it appear a bit... -
Milan Mania
Knox Milan A large 7 3/8. Fits tight on my bean, but that's handy on a windy day. Knox, Cavanagh, and Stetson all had similar offerings. -

The Conversion Corral
You have to click on the little box with the mountain-like triangles and the yellow background with the pop-up text "Insert Image" and then put your image URL in there. That or put "" after it. Not sure why the image is so small. That's a Fotki thing. -
The Hat Confessional Thread
The "hippies killed the hat" myth is almost as persistent as the "JFK killed the hat when he didn't wear one to his inauguration" myth. From my subjective memory, I'd say hippies wore more hats than punks (unless you count those ska boys)... -

The Hat Confessional Thread
Do we need a confession thread dedicated solely to this topic? That's because they expected a bowler. -
Post New Hats Here!
I've seen one like it before: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showpost.php?p=779475&postcount=1 Thanks for posting that! -
Post New Hats Here!
Man, what a haul. It's rare enough to see one hat of that vintage, let alone three, each with its own unique felt, unlike any I've seen before. Love to see the Mallory liner logo, if you get the chance. :eusa_clap -
Post New Hats Here!
One of the best things about selling a hat is seeing it end up in a better home than I can give it. That hat is SO much better on you than it was on me. Glad to see where it landed. I have owned three Portis hats. One I gave to charity (not my style- Cigarband got the pin from that... -
Another transgender hat...
Whoa. That's a nice hat. You really caught me with that one! -

The Hat Confessional Thread
I think this thread should distinguish between personal confession and criticism of others. In the area of personal confession, it is easier to know what to confess if we have a predefined set of sins. Having read Matt's and some of the other confessions here, I have a whole new appreciation... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Whew, now that is a bowler, carouselvic. Screams 1930s to me. And my size, too... -
Stetson 5X Clear Beaver, 1942
Okay, next chance I get I'll dust off one of the Gross of Denver western style jackets I have and take you guys a photo to laugh at. I don't think I can pull off dressing like Tom Mix or Hopalong Cassidy or Bill Pickett. -

Stetson 5X Clear Beaver, 1942
Wow, what can I post next to get more great responses from Corky? Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into that fascinating post.
