I'll third Paris Hatters. I've been buying hats from Abe for years. Rick also does great ribbon work. I think I remember Abe telling me that Rick comes from a family of tailors and that is where he learned to be so skillful with a needle and thread.
That shop has been there many years and has a...
Eric,
Every time I see your family portraits of your Stratoliners I'm envious! What a great collection!
I have one vintage now and another vintage on the way. Once I get the new one I'll have to try and take a family portrait.
Randall,
I was wondering what that blue car was that is under all your hat pictures!
I wish you lived a little closer. If you don't mind send me some pictures anyway. I think you have my email address but if not I'll send it to you.
My max was $80 and like I said earlier I really didn't expect to win it. If it had been a size smaller I would have bid a lot more. I occasionally buy hats that aren't in my size just because I'm curious and want to take a closer look at them. I usually end up selling them on Ebay or giving them...
Akubra Cattleman Open Road
Here is an Akubra Cattleman that I tried to convert to an Open Road style hat. I wanted a cheap summer felt hat without a liner and some vent holes for the heat. I started with an Akubra Cattleman in Sand color, trimmed the brim to 2 3/4" and installed an Open Road...
Thanks. I think I got a great deal too! I'm just hoping it will fit.
Anybody have any idea of the age? Looks like the liner is missing but the sweatband and tag look to me to be 1960's era or maybe 50's.
I won that hat. To be honest, I was surprised to find out I did. I thought it would have gone for much more. I really like the look of the hat but bid on it more out of curiosity because the fit is probably going to be too big. I normally wear a 7 3/8 LO or 7 1/2. So it might be back on the...
Too many to compliment individually so I'll just say...Great looking hats guys!
Robert, the Stetson Gun Club looks great with the new ribbon and bound brim. Did they reflange the brim so the back is turned up? It looks like they might have in the pictures but I really can't tell for sure.
Kkaderly, beautiful hat! Great color combinations.
I know this is trivial and when wearing the hat nobody sees it but I think the red liners really add to the elegance of the hat. Just yesterday I was at my doctor's office and was wearing my silverbelly lightweight with the red liner in it. My...
Randall, thanks for the compliment. Having grown up in south Texas the cattleman's crease is what I've been around all my life and just looks normal to me. The majority of my vintage hats have a cattleman's crease but I have to admit since joining the Lounge you guys have made me appreciate...
Here are a couple of noggin shots of it in a Cattleman's Crease. Please excuse the t-shirt. That is certainly not proper attire for such a beautiful hat! I was just playing around with the hat when I first got it and wasn't planning on going out in public dressed that way.
