The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}
Looks great on you. There is something about the crinkle of a fresh dent on a vintage Stetson... Mouse gray, eh? I wouldn't have come up with that one. Wouldn't even use the word- those around me either start hunting or screaming when the word is used, depending on the number of legs... -
Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.
Ouch. The Vulcain Cricket has a button next to the main winder (you can see it in the picture) you can use to turn off the alarm. It's not so useful for turning off the alarm before it sounds because it's easy to reset the button inadvertently when your wrist is bent. But once it sounds...- feltfan

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Ouch. Didn't notice it was a live auction. PLEASE don't post live auctions. My apologies to anyone who planned to bid on this auction for further drawing attention to it. I hope the bartenders remove the link soon. -

Tall crown. So rare in Milans. Nice. -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
It was a terrible listing by a clueless seller. We still don't know the size of either hat. Man, if I could find a Dunlap 20 from those days in my size I'd pay a LOT more than $10. -

Requesting assistance in the details of my first Art Fawcett
Ah, missed that the first time. I suspected it was the light stuff- the dents are so crisp. I think I might need a hat made from that felt... -

Outstanding hat and perfect for you. Is that the light felt or the regular dress weight felt? -

The odd thing about this one is the middle "slice". never seen a stretcher with one of those. Can't really figure out what it's used for. -

Antique Hat Care
Ouch! Don't put a new sweatband in it unless you have to because the old one is so worn and dry it is no longer soft. Those old sweatbands were made of quality leather and had some cool designs on them. Keep it like your grandfather had it! There are many threads on this forum regarding... -

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Borsalino certainly used sewn-in silk through the 50s, maybe later. They certainly used unreeded sweats into the 70s (check out that Western Borsalino I posted recently). I think liners in Borsalinos were extremely variable. Certainly there were special liners just for individual... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Congrats. Cavanagh hats are a good thing and every hat enthusiast should have one (or more). I was amused by the listing. The seller stole information from this forum, but got it wrong: "...welded "Cavanagh Edge" brim treatment shown here in Photo #7, allowing a softer, thinner felt... -

Hat Newby Question
Huh? I do it all the time. So do many others on this site. You can look up the many threads on this subject at your leisure. I'd go so far as to say that many hats benefit from the rain, often returning "remembered" block shape and giving a mild cleaning to the hat. Fur dress hats are... -

Dobbs Unusual style from 1918
Did a Google image search on 1918 hat For the first three images: http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/pers-us/uspers-c/m-croft.htm (see also, http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/prs-tpic/females/yeof-g9.htm) And this might suggest a use: I also found this... Eye... -

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=300307293622 Really interesting hat. Interesting also to consider what is formal. The setting of the picture Mr. Lucky found, a wartime cooking class, would not immediately seem to us to be a formal setting... -
Lincoln Brigade test jacket size 42
There is at least one quite long thread about the Spanish Civil War/Revolution here on the Lounge under WWII: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=10234 Let me correct one point- by no means were all Lincoln Brigade members people who believed in the cause of socialism. Some...- feltfan
