    New/old "Barrister" fedora

    all the sniping aside, what a great hat!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap I was looking at that offering, and of course, like everyone else ('cept one) didn't think it was worth a look; I forgot-the thrill of the hunt is the real juice for me; after a lotta years of doing this, I got jaded...

    I've got a 7 1/4 WHIPPET for sale- on our favorite auction site... just FYI; rich Chocolate Brown felt-too small for me. Worth a look.

    Decisions, Decisions

    First- congratulations!:eusa_clap Second- I've always found that using steam-judicioulsly-is much, much easier with a new hat; don't overdo it, just get the felt nice & warm, a little damp-don't have to soak the poor thing, and start adjusting slowly-keep the kettle on, give the hat a little...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    GREAT HAT!! I won something eerily similar a while back-my hat's the same as yours, with a slight difference in color; in the shots of the hat on the white cloth, where the hat is the darkest-it almost matches my hat; I think mine is a bit darker, has some hue of dark green that's just...

    Incoming Refurb Job

    would you be so kind as to photograph the step-by-step process, if you can/care to? it would really be a big help to the many newcomers to the Lounge, and it sure would help jar the memory of some of us addle-pated old so&so's...[huh]

    What age should a guy stop wearing a bike jacket without a bike?

    I'm 55. Ride a lot, so wear leather jackets. I do wear different kinds of leathers, though-the old-fashioned "biker" jacket isn't in my closet at all, only have the tab-collar, sport-type jackets ( have a Walter Dyer that's like thick butter) and a few with collars; and I wear them when I'm not...

    Vintage denim Jackets

    If at all possible, I for one would appreciate the opportunity to buy before the jackets hit the eBay free-for-all; it's very nice of you to mention the jackets on the Lounge-is it possible to offer some to us? Thanks-M[huh]

    Stratoliner & Whippet Same hat?

    They're two really different animals; the Whippet has an edging in grosgrain around the brim that's 3/8" wide, has a 2" ribbon, and a cut that's decidedly more dramatic than the Strat. Can't find my Stratoliner, so can't compare dimensions; that's my take on 2 of my favorite hats; wearing a...
