Seeking Symmetry
I like to be cool and think I don't really care....But with some hats it seems inevitable....I just can't leave it alone til I think it's right....I have a Borsalino that I always turn the brim up, push the crown open and side dents out whenever I hang it. When I put it on, whatever bash I put...- Bird Lives

Bound vs. Raw Edge Brim?
I used to think Wide Ribbon looked dressier and raw edge more casual.....But now I'm really thinking each hat has its own vibe....I got a new Lock & Co. Sandown Trilby...and this guy has a very narrow ribbon AND raw edge, but it puts out a very classy vibe....I know they are thought of as...- Bird Lives

My Stetson lost it's 'snap'...
Now THIS is a perfect example of why I love it around here so much....;^) I have a new Sandown Trilby and went a little over board steaming it, trying different side dents and also steamed the brim too much.....The snap was gone...opps...

Lock & Co. Video
I think this interview with Sue Simpson has addressed some important issues.... One, Lock & Co. Hats for the most part are made in England....Ive been hearing they were now made in Czech Rep. or by Borsalino...So this changes that I believe... Also, I've been told that any Lock & Co. Hats at...- Bird Lives

The Fedora Lounge's own Matt Deckard on HONY
Yep, those posters can be a little brutal although it looked like he scored very well, especially with the 'Chick' posters....:eusa_clap I think some of those male posters were jealous of the female attention Matt was getting, especially after they realized they didn't have a hat to stand...- Bird Lives
