    Show Us Your Purchases....GUYS !

    ^Cool trousers, DM. Funny you should ask. I've pretty much decided to sell it. I just don't think it's me, and I have so much outerwear already. It's in very nice shape, though. I'll probably stick it in Classifieds once I get a chance to take a few pics. And Shooman, the maker on those...

    BD FC

    I think saying that a button down collar is only a 'worker's shirt' is going too far. It finds its origin as a sporting shirt, thus Brooks Bros. 'Polo collar' designation. There is certainly a strong heritage of the button down collar in academia with tweeds and bow ties. It's just the thing...

    The bowler and casual dress, yes?

    The bowler was the great hat of the Old West, and it originated as a gameskeeper's hat, so its heritage would certainly support the casual. Welcome (back) to the Lounge, Crane's. I'm very much enjoying my Filson bag. I suspect your store will get more of my money in the future.

    Unusual Vintage Panama Weave

    Great hat! Sounds like fun, Robert. Do you have any idea what those hats would sell for?

    The Disney Diner

    ^I think the ones with the crest are earlier. I can't wait to see it--any auction pics you can link? Here are how I *think* they date with pics lifted from this thread. 1930s(?): Dinerman's bowler Early-mid '40s, Bolthead's 'Twenty': Mid-late '40s (early '50s?)...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Here's a pic with a white background that will provide better contrast with the hat. The hat is a dark grey, although not all the way to charcoal.

    Vintage Sweatshirt Project

    Very sharp! I just picked up a couple of (no logo) Polo vintage looking sweatshirts myself. They were on clearance in a consignment store. They're really nice shirts.

    It's not that the brim is that wide, it's that the crown is that low. The brim measures 2 3/8", the crown 3 5/8".

    And now for something completely different... Thanks to Lounger bruce wayne for letting this Optimo go. It's so radically different from anything I have it's going to take some getting used to.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Not very high, ~200 or so, I think. I posted an early pic with a measuring tape. I'll see if I can find it.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Thanks. I've never seen a Campdraft in the flesh, so I don't know about its color options. The Churchill tan is a great color, though. My knock on it is that the brim is pretty stiff, but I do like the look of it. We dropped from 90+ on Monday down to 58 (!) today due to Gustav blowing...
