Annixter, that is a fine looking Champ. I like the overwelt, and it certainly has an interesting crease - it looks good! I like Champ's slogan, "feel the felt." If that occurred in the past I guess you felt the felt...
Pompidou, thanks for posting. Zombie, the SFO film was pretty cool too. Even the horses jaywalk! Contrast that with modern times. A few years ago I was rushing from Union Square to the airport and caught a cab on Market Street. As we were driving along I saw a pedestrian step off the curb and...
I'm sure you've said this before Bart, but what hat is that? Is it a VS? It's a very nice color, and the ribbon complements it quite well. I also like the restrained pinch - not too tight. Looking good!
None today, but if I did I'd be thinking about some really good latakia, maybe Penzance or Deacon's Downfall in a Castello billiard. Alas, no time for a smoke.
Got the Lawson. Got the chin strap. Didn't install the chin strap. Not looking for homeless to hold hat hostage for finder's fee, but hat fits great so not worried. Please feel free to post tutorial. Stop. :)
Congrats on your purchase, AlterEgo. It will surely fit the purpose for which you intended. When mine arrived I also felt it would be too big forever, but true to Akubra form, it now fits like a glove. Enjoy in good health.
I thought the same thing - the Bugs Bunny mobster. I thought that and the poor pics would scare people off. I'd be interested to see that one in person or in pics on the Lounge.
I threw in a sub $40 bid on this Mallory hoping to see if I could land it using "light tackle" but alas, was beat out. Any Lounger taking this one home?

That's a great looking old hat. On your mug I don't think it has limited wearability at all. Nicely done!
Edit: I thought I had attached a pic of the old Stetson you just posted Scott. Since I didn't, I was referring to that hat.
Great work Vic and Salty! I was going to suggest sending it to me for further research. It's a great looking hat. The felt looks luxurious and the box bow is very nice.
