    Good grief, my head shrank!

    Thanks for the concern, IC. The weight loss is due to better eating and a lot more exercise. I didn't quite intend to lose as much as I did, but it just kept coming off. I weigh about what I did when I was 20 years old, and I'm in better shape than I was then. So, no complaints. Now I know...

    Good grief, my head shrank!

    I'm hoping it won't be a problem, Art. Your hats have always fit slightly on the snug side on me; now they're slightly on the loose side. I'll assess when it gets here. Alas, no box on the front step today.

    Good grief, my head shrank!

    Our own indycop asked me the question in a recent WHAYW post, had my head shrunk with my recent weight loss. I commented that I thought it might have a little. Yesterday I had a tape measure handy and measured my head for the first time in a long time--22.5"!! I was a solid 23" without question...

    Disney Hats Spread | Gentry Magazine Fall 1953

    Just giving this a little bit of a bump. It's interesting how they focus on the lightweight felt as thought it were a new thing. Obviously, there have been lots of vintage hats posted at the Lounge that pre-date these with very light felt. Of course, then as now, magazines are pushing an agenda...

    Disney Hats Spread | Gentry Magazine Fall 1953

    This is a double page spread from Gentry Magazine, which was an Esquire style men's lifestyle magazine. It's from the Fall 1953 issue. The square you see in the second (right hand) page in the upper corner is actually a glued in felt sample. My apologies for the lack of a pristine scan, but I...

    Akubra Riverina Owners

    Checking in as a Riverina owner. Here it is on me at the Taj Mahal (previously posted in the other thread): I wore it all over my trip to India on that trip, so you can include Delhi, Guwahati, Shillong and Hyderabad on your map (I don't know how detailed you want to get with that). I'm...

    Spectator Shoes

    Leather Soul Hawaii has a small run available of the Alden specs pictured. Allen Edmonds does do one-off specials, so one might take the Broadstreet and have them substitute brown suede for the white. I'm not sure exactly what AE's upcharge is. If Leather Soul has your size in the Aldens then...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Good question. I think my hats are a little looser, but hard to say for sure. It's not a huge difference, but I think there is a very small one. Thanks! All the credit goes to Art.
