    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Thanks! The ol' Playboy is a bit sun-faded, but it's my favorite when the weather's hot and dry.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    It's 100F plus and very dry here today, so the weapon of choice is my Stetson Playboy with the ultra-thin felt and no liner.

    larger sized suits

    I'm actually wearing a Magnoli suit in my avatar picture. I think a 3-piece looks better on a larger fellow, the vest seems to "streamline" the midsection a bit. Welcome aboard, Dos Tacos, and best of luck with your weight loss. I've been struggling with it for years.

    Best Hat Brands???

    Now that HATCO is on board here, I look forward to the day when we can answer the "Who makes the best hats" question with "Stetson" and "Dobbs" and really mean it.

    Greetings

    I've seen Stetson ads in Classic Style magazine, but that's the only place. It's a good start, though. Perhaps together we can get American men to dress like grownups again. Dare to dream! :D

    Vintage Phones

    My '46 is one of those oddball ones with a triple hookswitch for a particular type of party-line use. It's all original but in pretty rough shape, so it may be the one I send to Steve Hilsz for renovation. Definitely a rare bird.

    Greetings

    Welcome Mr. Range! I own to Stetson Chathams from 2005, actually I'm wearing one right now. I loved them when I first got them, but several months later I discovered vintage Stetsons and the Chathams languished in the closet. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to take a look at the...

    Identifying Vintage Felt

    I have two vintage hats, a Dobbs and a Knox, that have no markings on the sweatband other than the store name. The Knox has a tag under the sweat from a repair shop, and that leads me to believe they were both renovated and had their sweatbands replaced a very long time ago, perhaps in the...

    Vintage Phones

    I actually have a metal body 302 that's date-coded 1946, but that's very rare. What I've read is that they went to plastic because of WWII. I'm partial to the unrestored phones. I do have one restored 1937 with the E handset (grabbed in on a Buy It Now for only 85 bucks!) but it almost...

    Identifying Vintage Felt

    From what you describe, it sure sounds like 1940s or before. Is the leather sweatband brown, wide (2" or thereabouts) and soft to the touch? That's another indication of a true vintage hat.

    larger sized suits

    That's gonna be tough. I wear a size 54R and the only inexpensive suits I've found (at Men's Wearhouse and Burlington Coat Factory) were pretty blah.

    What Is There Left To Invent?

    I'd like a Star Trek Phaser on "Stun" that would incapacitate an attacker for several minutes while inflicting no injury. The Taser is close, but there have been problems.

    Moider in Brooklyn!

    Barlow M. Diamond, now there's a great name! Nice lid, too. Too bad about him being a rotten criminal.

    My first vintage hat: Adam - need info & tips please?

    May I come back to New York?

    I think that's the official Senatorial Mustang.

    Show us your custom shirts.

    The operative word is "Cool." These days, if I built a bar inside a walk-in freezer, I'd probably get plenty of business.

    61 stars removed from Walk of Fame

    When I saw the thread title, I was afraid that some stars were being removed because nobody remembers who the people were. I hope they never do that.
