    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Nice Borsalino. I've always like green. I have an old wool Bailey hat that I wore hiking for years. It started brown, but is now green! Since I've discovered fur hats, I'm gonna retire the old wool hat, Regards, F_M

    More Pictures Hi HarpPlayerGene! Your hat looks alot like mine except a different color. It's a nice hat. I wore it all day yesterday while I was in Tallahassee with my son (a SR accounting student at FSU). We were out, offically goofing off, looking at knives, guns, boats, cars. We had to...

    Champ Featherweight Has Narrow Escape!

    Hat Box Insert This was the hat box insert that saved the day. It gave up its life to save the hat. I guess I need to have it bronzed! From the comments in this thread, there seems to be alot of Champ FW's out there. Well, I'm going to Tallahasse this morning, and I'm wearing mine...

    Rain Hat

    All the straws that I have had didn't hold up well in the rain. I guess it is possible to coat the fibers. However, this brings to mind a question for one who is just now getting into furs. What fur seems to be the most foul weather durable?

    Champ Featherweight Has Narrow Escape!

    I emailed the seller some photos of the package, and step by step as I unpacked. I sent them in a courteous note, with the intent to allow the shipper to learn from this shipping experience. I know I learned. Next time I buy any hat that will be shipped, I will be more diligent to insure that it...

    Newbie alert! What do you think of my new Panama?

    Nice Panama That's a nice panama. I wear panamas daily here in Florida, with a weave just about like that. Great wearers, and not so expensive that you worry about getting caught in the rain. Enjoy the hat! F_M

    Champ Featherweight Has Narrow Escape!

    I just obtained my first fur felt fedora, a vintage champ featherweight in metal tan. But as Yogi said, "It ain't over 'till it's over"..It's very true. It was almost the first fur felt fedora that I "bought" but didn't get! I was shipped USmail, with brown kraft wrapping around it's original...

    Stetson 1940: "The Nonchalance is Blocked In"

    Ahead of Their Time Maybe Stetson should market those now. You could wear it with your shirts that have the seams inside out!

    Thanks for the Welcomes I enlarged the pictures, so much easier to see. Yes, Indycop, the fountain is in St. Augustine, just a few yards from the old gate, just off ST. George street. That picture is one of my favorites. Note the clock in the background, such an authentic timestamp. For...
