    Hat comparison Help

    That Margate is really sharp. If I could get away with a brim that narrow, I would want it in my collection. The only thing that would give me pause here is that, in terms of versatility, the Nostalgia would probably work with more than the Margate will. On the other hand, there isn't much...

    Pulling Off the Casual Look

    I think the fedora with casual thing has a lot to do with one's overall look, as well as attitude. Plus, just as with fedoras in other attire, you have to learn what works for you and what doesn't. I find the casual look works best for me in the summer, with straw hats. Also, narrower brims...

    This look really WORKS! Great job.

    VS Transformation

    Indeed. Which is why I'll say these two things publicly; 1. I am Happy. 2. Art, if you ever have to say 'no' or ask me to hold off on a refurb job, I will understand. :D kaosharper1; I never discourage the binding of a brim! ;)

    Yes, I think that's his policy, or maybe it's repeat customers. Something like that. A perk for the loyal, and a means of keeping his waiting list reasonable.

    Whoops! Silly me, I forgot the "before" picture...

    VS Transformation

    Well, by now most of you know that I'm a huge fan of Art Fawcett's work, and that I'm a sucker for bound edge brims. I had this hat - an Indy hat - with a block shape that just didn't hit me right and a brim that was too wide. I figured I had plenty of Indy hats already (3 should be enough)...

    Kept it simple and casual today, with an AB and bush jacket.

    Want to use a cap/hat for Halloween party...ideas?

    1. How about wearing a newsboy to be a News Boy? Grab a newspaper, and old jacket, and stuff your trousers into your socks! 2. Got a bush jacket? You could go as Mac from Indy 4 (with newsboy) or as a hunter if you have the right fedora. 3. I like the "PRESS" idea, honestly. Be sure to...

    GATSBY Hat -

    You should probably describe or post a picture of what you want. I say that because some would consider a newsboy and a Gatsby the same thing. Depending on what you actually want, I might have something sitting around that I don't wear... if I can find it. :rolleyes:

    An introduction

    Welcome to the Lounge, A*H. G-Burg is quite impressive to see in person,isn't it? I've been there twice so far. You just can't grasp the enormity of Pickett's Charge until you see all that open space in person.

    BROWN with BLACK or VICE VERSA?

    I meant to say, before, that I really like that color. The Temple does not compliment my face very well, but it's nice to see a lighter brown in a current production mainstream lid. Now, if only the Nostalgia came in that color...

    BROWN with BLACK or VICE VERSA?

    Time to fix the color adjustments on your monitor, kabuto! lol

    BROWN with BLACK or VICE VERSA?

    Suitedcboy has a point. Even if some (or most) men were not concerning themselves with fashion and all that went with it, they had less of a need. Gone are the days of having knowledgeable assistance in coordinating. I have spent my life seperating my brown/green scale from my gray/blue/black...

    Question on proper storage

    I have never used silica gel, but I recommend cedar highly. Chips, balls, blocks, whatever. Just be sure to replace it with fresh cedar ever year. It not only helps repel moths, but also reduces minor unwanted odors.

    ADAM ALLEY

    The ribbon color came out very well in the pictures (better than the felt color), so yes. It does have a slight pinkish hue. The name of the felt color is not on the tag, but it matches Art's "natural" almost exactly.

    ADAM ALLEY

    I'm somewhat late joining this society officially, being as I've had an Adam for over a year. I just keep forgetting. But here it is.

    The Black Hat Brigade

    Boy, I am so glad I started this thread. I am seeing some great black lids on here. I mean, some I know well already, but there are quite a few that I haven't seen until now. :eusa_clap
