    NEWBIE: I need help finding a fedora

    Nothing against Stetson, but their non-cowboys can be a bit hit-or-miss in terms of durability against the elements, regardless of the felt grade. If it's going to be used the way you describe, I think it would be safer (and probably cheaper) to pick up an Akubra. The prices are great, even...

    Funniest Hat Listing

    Oh, come now. It's not that bad. I've seen far worse. The lining, however, must indeed go.

    Need photos; A-2's on portly guys.

    VLJ? Is that LBJ's great grandson? lol Seriously, what's that?

    Thank you much!

    Need photos; A-2's on portly guys.

    It may sound like an odd request to some, but I want to get an idea of what an A-2 bomber jacket would look like on a heavier guy like myself. Open and closed, authentic or repros. Just want to get an idea. Thanks.

    WWII Haversack and Gaiters on Ebay

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330315889995 I'm selling the bag because it didn't suit my particular needs, but it's a good bag. The Gaiters, I thought the stamp was a 5, not an S! :eusa_doh:

    NEW FENDI SUNGLASSES - MENS

    Do you know if they are polarized? The doctor insists on that for me. And not that cheap polarizing treatment. The real deal.

    Post New Hats Here!

    How about some different angles while on you head? I've been debating one, but I'm not convinced by the stock photos I've seen.

    NEWS BOY CAPS

    I did a little digging. Turns out Olney makes 2 8-panel models. One is called the Newsboy, the other the Baker Boy. It seems like the Baker is a fuller cut, based on the vague listings I've seen.

    Okay, I Can Take It... Me in a Homburg

    I think, if it's a softer crown, just use the dents to dress it down, but store it without. Then it will be more formal for when you don't want to dress it down. ;)

    Help ... on my first straw...

    This advice is sound once you know what you like. I say that because I made the mistake of buying good "real" panamas very early on. The actual straw of those hats are my favorite, but the styles are not. So, they get worn rather infrequently. I say, start cheap and fake to learn...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    That Mallory is hot! My oh my!

    The Cavalry Hat

    That's a hefty price tag for wool felt! They look like very stiff, permanently shaped hats, rather than the cool lid you were showing off. :(

    Help ... on my first straw...

    I prefer my felts to be untapered, higher crowned, with a 2 5/8 or 2 3/4 inch brim. In my quest for the right straw hats, I discovered that similar stats on a straw looked very big on me. I don't know if it's the light colors or the fact that I wear few (if any) layers of clothing. A...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    That's why they are so addictive. There is nothing "stock" about a VS! Every time I put one on, I want to buy another one. :eusa_doh: I guess not being rich has it's up side; Art gets to sleep from time to time. lol

    Okay, I Can Take It... Me in a Homburg

    They do take getting used to, as the brim does nothing to hide the brow like a fedora does. But once you get accustomed to seeing more of your own face, they really are great. Also, I think you have the right face and head shape for one. So, wear it with confidence.

    Snapping a Straw Brim

    Real straw can get wet, just not soaked. That would be bad. But a little bit of water won't hurt it. Fake straw is usually made of paper. I wouldn't dare use water on those. :eek:

    NEWS BOY CAPS

    I think you've found the ideal 8-panel there. As for a lighter weight cap, I would think the extra full might feel like too much material in warmer months. I would go down to a full cut.
