    Rain Hat

    Vendors; I like Hatsdirect for Akubras. David Morgan in the states also has an awesome reputation. Size; You'd better measure your head in inches. Then look up the size conversion chart on hatsdirect.com. It will tell you what your American and European size is. Just get a fabric tape...

    What was your very first post?

    I'm not sure if this is my actual first post/thread, but ut's the oldest I can find. I vaguely recall a "hello" post, but I don't see it. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=4297 Seeing those early posts... wow! Asking all the questions I now answer without thinking. lol

    Rules on Shoe color?

    Most of my life, I have stuck to a basic set of rules when it comes to the color of my shoes. I wear black with gray and black clothes, brown shoes with tan and brown clothes, and either color shoes with green or blue clothes. Recently, I have seen and heard that it's ok to mix these up...

    Rain Hat

    The CEO should be made of the same rugged stuff as the Federation, which is well know for it's durability. I doubt you'll have any problems.

    Rain Hat

    The Joe looks interesting. I tried the Delta, but it looked huge on my head... silly huge. For Akubras, try searching for a CEO. It combines a bit of urban fedora style with a touch of an outback look.

    Is it worth it?

    Get something new. The hat isn't worth what Optimo (or anyone else) will charge to rebuild it. You could post it in the classified here and on COW, in case some one want's to pay shipping and play with it, but otherwise, that baby is toast. If you want something Indy like, there's the...

    First Time Bowtie Advice

    I might have an RL Outlet around. Personally, I like the "almost matches" look over the perfect match. If I can see stuff in person, I can eye-ball that sort of thing much better. :D

    First Time Bowtie Advice

    Where did you find the pocket square. All I ever find are solids and white with colored edges.

    Federation Problems, anybody?

    My experience was that they ran about the same in terms of size. I find there Outback/Cowboy hats run smaller than the Fed, though.

    Federation Problems, anybody?

    I have owned no fewer than 4 Federation III's and a Campdraft. All were sized a little large. I know this because I'm a small-end 60, but they are all size 59's. So, in my experience they run slightly large, but not very. I hear some VI's run even bigger. The height, I know, was lowered...

    I did have an avatar with that hat recently, but it was very dark, and hard to see. I don't know that I had a chance to post pictures otherwise. However, I have a Sportaire in Granite that you might be thinking of, which was actually my first VS hat. The style and color are very versatile...

    Johnnyphi Vacation: No Auctions this Week

    I feel like I'm going through withdrawal! (Not that I'd know what that felt like... :o )

    Showing Off!

    Well, I know there are a few here with more VS lids than me, but mine is sizable... and growing. I currently have 5 felts and one panama from Art. Another panama in the works, too. I already know I'll be ordering a felt hat as a Christmas present from my father, the question is; what will it...

    Chinese hats

    Perhaps, Lucas, if you don't know how to do it, don't ask a question. And don't get so "flippant" with us because we can't think as "vaguely" as you.

    Well, if we must focus on the hat... It's really more of a collaboration in design. I told Art the felt color, dimensions, and that I wanted a diamond crown. He did the rest, including ribbon choices and all. I modified the bash a bit to better suit my face when it arrived. And, "Viola!"...

    Suspender Buttons: Inside or Outside?

    Thank you sir! That's one of JohnnyPhi's NOS Adam's. A nice cream color, and the ribbon plays with you eyes a bit - is it tan or salmon or ??? :)
