Indeed! Before I found Fedora Lounge, I bought a wool Bailey fedora about a year ago w/ a 2 1/2" brim and it seemed too wide for me at the time. That's when I gravitated toward stingier brims. Now I'm back full circle. :) I might get my next custom hat at around 2 3/8".
Thanks, Eric! I appreciate your regards! Yes, I am one happy cat with this new hat. I've admired many of the other members' 15's and 20's, so I'm happy to be part of the club now. :)
Just hoping my hat collection becomes as diverse as yours!! ;) Cheers!
Thanks! I was a little concerned that it would be a copy of a Saks Fifth Ave hat that I have. The Saks was made by Dobbs, and it's a superb hat, also. But the Dobbs 15 is a darker shade of grey and the brim is a little larger, so it's a completely different hat!
Thank you for the...
Thanks, Randall. I have a feeling I will become one with the hat soon! :)
Thank you, David. I'm just glad to be in such good company with you other 'Loungers!
Dobbs FIFTEEN
I recently bought a Dobbs FIFTEEN from Etsy. It was described as a "wool" hat. I knew enough to look closely at the sweatband and noticed the "FIFTEEN" designation. Click Bam Boom, the rest was history!
The hat looked to be in good condition in the original listing...
Dobbs FIFTEEN
Here's a nice vintage Dobbs FIFTEEN I picked up on Etsy. Like some of my other hats, it arrived tired, depressed, and a little mis-shapen. After a nice brushing, steaming, brushing, steaming, etc..., it showed its face again.
One happy cat...
Thanks, CircuitRider. Will end up getting some thin ribbons eventually. It's a modest collection compared to some of the more native residents here. I'm taking my time, though.
