    Johnnyphi Hat Club

    Thank you gentlemen. Thank you all. Maybe it's time to start up a Wide Brim Binding Society of some sort? :D

    Showoff! Why hats / fedora make the difference

    Yohanes, that lid is so perfect for you; Instant transformation from Average Joe to Dashing Rake! Excellent thread idea. I hope it catches on. I'll see what I can scrape together. Behold: The Power of Felt!

    The Sale of NOS Johnnyphi hats begins.

    I sense a trend... and an explanation as too the slow auctions in the past. Focus on the 7 3/8 and up for a while! That is clearly where the interest is. So, maybe if you post 5 auctions in a night, only two are a smaller size than 7 3/8? Just a thought.

    The perfect fit

    I agree with sentiments so far. One size larger will lower it's position on the head, changing the look. I once read a general rule about fedora crown height; it shouldn't be taller in front than the face visible below it. As with all rules, there are exceptions. The biggest is personal...

    Stetson Open Road Hat

    If you mean the current production Open Road, I know it comes in Black as well. Other colors I don't know. If you mean vintage open roads, I have seen quite a few colors; black, silverbelly, light blue, light gray, and tan. There may be more.

    The Sale of NOS Johnnyphi hats begins.

    If the right one came along, I would bid. Given what I've won so far, my wallet would demand that I be very picky. But if the photo "catalog" is accurate, there's at least one I'd make a stab at.

    Can I reblock a Panama hat?

    I know it is possible to reblock a panama if the straw is still in good condition, but I would leave that to a professional. If it's really dry and brittle, best to leave it be in any case. Also, I hear it's harder to get the old creases out of straw, so restoration type reblocks are probably...

    Well, it's got a $10 original price tag, if that helps with dating. My guess would be 50's, but it's only a guess. Yes, pictures that include my melon will be added as soon as can be managed!

    Johnnyphi Hat Club

    I love that Schoble, Alan. It's a knock-out! I just received my latest acquisition. Johnny, do you know how old this one is? It's a dark, cloudy day, making pictures difficult, but I had to try. I couldn't contain my excitement on this one. Only one pic came out good, but here it is. Lee...

    The Labor Day Rule

    Long ago, straw hats and white suits were out after labor day. But the world has changed, our tolerance for heat has changed, and those rules were likely applied mainly in the northern US and Europe. I'm not expert, but that's what I've gathered. The modern rules are these; dress...

    Help with {date or identify} a hat please.....!

    Silver Belly is color, not the model. The block loks similar to the Moose River, but between the ribbon and the fact that it is listed as "beaver blend" I doubt that it is actually that. It is not an OR or a Strat, for sure. I'd say it was made within the last 5-10 years.

    Trouble Connecting to the Lounge?

    Ummm... I hate to be a, well, you know... but if many people are having this problem all over the country, maybe even the world, by Wed/Thrs, I would say that it's not us (the browsers) that have a problem to fix. Even if we CAN fix it on our end, something is clearly wrong elsewhere. Either...

    The Fedora Lounge: The crash, The move and The Aftermath

    I had the weirdest dream. I couldn't log onto the Fedora Lunge for days and days. I kept trying, but it wouldn't work. I was frantic. Crying. My whole world was crumbling around me. And then I woke up, and everything was OK. By the way, is it my imagination, or are there a couple of...
