    Where can I find this style of hat??

    Dobbs makes a rather nice milan straw Homburg. I think Hats-Plus carries it.

    Hat Wearers: You're Just Trying to Be Don Draper. Stop It.

    And how about his choice of car. Cool as it is, anyone who drives a classic muscle car that looks like one from an old tv show should think twice before commenting on vintage style. :eusa_doh:

    Hat Wearers: You're Just Trying to Be Don Draper. Stop It.

    To be clear, I get that. But in the case of my recent point, I was referring to trends I was seeing outside of the Lounge. Although, being part of the Lounge has sharpened my awareness of such things. ;) Michaelshane; Thanks for the photo, but can you make those poorly fitting hats go...

    Hat Wearers: You're Just Trying to Be Don Draper. Stop It.

    While I admit that I do not watch the show, I am amused by how much Mad Men is referred to as causing the resurgence of fedoras (and vintage style, but more on that later). Thus far, I have not seen any photos or clips from the show (except maybe the first episode) that has shown a man in a...

    New Swanepoel/Stetsons: "Fewer than 50 of these hats will ever be produced."

    Given some of the "fashions" that march down runways on a regular basis, these hats could be a lot worse. Scary but true. Since I have never seen a runway outfit "in the wild" I don't expect to see these lids, either. If you hear that I died of a heart attack during a swanky dinner cruise...

    Hat Wearers: You're Just Trying to Be Don Draper. Stop It.

    You know, if you read this with a slightly different mindset, it's almost more a criticism of our times than it is of people like us. IN some ways, the writer may be correct. "...our world is tacky, temporary, and horrid." Thus, we are the misfits. At least for now. But I figure, if...

    Advice needed - feds/upturned brim

    Service-wise, they are very friendly and easy to deal with. I ordered a hat with so many modifications, it was pretty much custom. They just pointed out that it would not be returnable if I made that many changes, and gave me the chance to change my mind. I did not. Their hats are...

    VS HST anyone?

    Well, you could just ask Art to make an Open Road clone. :D

    Advice needed - feds/upturned brim

    I tend to think that you don't want too much brim for the up-turned look. 2 1/2" range, I;m thinking. Akubra actually makes several other fedora style hats that might work well. One is even call the Fedora, I think. Also, you could try Hornet hats. They will alter brim dimensions on their...

    Biltmore Eleganza vs Stetson Firenze

    Of the two, I like the Biltmore better. Mainly it's a style issue. I don't really care for Stetson's center dent "all our hats look alike" shape. Too tapered for my tastes. That aside from that, you might be able to save a couple of bucks with the Baldwin on this page...

    What do you think of modern "Street/Punk" Fedoras?

    I think they are dreadful, but if they would stop putting skulls and other pictures on them, I could like them more. Especially since they are getting the younger people into hat wearing.

    Hat color for navy blazer

    For the khakis and navy blazer combo, I always wear a brown or tan felt. Silverbelly is, in my opinion, too light. But darker Naturals and darker tans (nothing too gold, like Camel, or greenish, like pecan) should work. And good old fashioned brown. It works great with navy blue. In fact, I...

    Bald guy Fed IV question?

    I wouldn't worry to much. I can tell you that having the lining without plastic still protects the hat. I sweat easily and a lot in my hats, but I have found no difference in the protection of the felt, so far. The plastic is more to protect against heavy hair gels and such. You will...

    What we have to put up with!

    I don't know... he looks like a salesman to me. [huh] You know, that very particular sub-set of salesman, who is artificially pleasant at all times, never too happy, too sad, or too mad. Just pleasant, and always sellikng... and pleased as punch that a hat-centric message board would...
