Breaking in an FQHH jacket
A few days ago I got my Aero Leather FQHH jacket. And as expected, it was cardboard stiff, and practically unwearable out of the box. Even after a fair amount of hand massaging it still was so stiff that I dreaded the idea of wearing this, in all other aspects wonderful, jacket to a...- AEH

On giving your opinions of photographs showing fellow Loungers wearing their new hats
What are people asking for In my stumbeling English I will try to express the way I see it: In my opinion it may be a difference if the poster just wants to show his new hat: "Look what I found in the flea market today!", or if she/he expressly asks for other members opinions. If the former... -

Homburg Nation
Battersby homburg Picked up this Battersby homburg from my local Salvation Army secondhand shop yesterday. It will need a cleaning and reblocking, but seems to be in good shape apart from that. There is no marking of the felt quality, but it looks and feels lik a pure, or high... -

Struggling with bashing my new hat - please comment/assist
Me too! I received my Adventurer in Bessemer with black trimming just a few days ago! I gave it a simple center dent creasing, just to start out, but I like it and think I will stick with that. I find the style of this hat to fit me very well, and the felt is smooth and holds the creasing... -
Beaver Brand Hats
Beaver Brand or Beaver Hats? Is "Beaver Brand" and "Beaver Hats" the same thing? Last Christmas I took some pictures of my brother-in-law's "Bever Hats" hat. The only 100% beaver fur felt I have touched, a superb tactile experience. He bought the hat in the early 70's here in Trondheim... -

White Spirit as cleaning agent A few years ago I used "white spirit", as in brush cleaner/paint thinner, to clean both an old wool fabric waistcoat and a wool beret. Both garments left a considerable amount of dirt in the tub, and both seemed to take the treatment all rigth. However it took... -
New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
Hi from Trondheim Gentlemen: I have been lurking here at the Lounge for a while, and think it is proper to make a short introduction before I start posting. I live in Norway, have "allways" had a more or less active interest in hats. I remember my father tipping his hat to the ladies on our...- AEH
