    The Sale of NOS Johnnyphi hats begins.

    ^Bids can be placed at any time (eg, now if you desire). My understanding is there will be a round set to end on Wednesday evening as well.

    The Sale of NOS Johnnyphi hats begins.

    I think the Schobles are ca. 1940s. I have one and it's a fantastic hat. I love how well it took a dry bash. Take a look at this thread.

    Panama Art ^Fantastic and congratulations! :eusa_clap I look forward to seeing it in the flesh. There are a few Art blocked Panamas in this thread. See pages 1, 2 and 13. There are also some past threads showing his work. Absinthe_1900's: That thread includes Spiridon's...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    One hesitates to post with those great lids from DOUGLAS, JtL (just about a perfect hat) and Bart, but I'll take a stab anyway. 1940s Disney refurbed by Art. My 'Aviator' hat: It was cooler today, so I wore the Borsalino early and the Disney late. It's supposed to be up to 90 on...

    My first Vintage hat!

    Do you know Dinerman? And my trip to an antique mall today turned up nothing. :eusa_doh: You've found one of the most sought after vintage hats--a hearty congratulations! Is this the ex-girlfriend the break-up with whom led to your Mom buying you the Borsalino to cheer you up? And you...

    Felt hats in summer..

    I've been wearing my Artlite quite a bit this spring, but with the temps in the upper 80s on Sunday I pulled out the Panama. It was amazing how cool it felt. Like Dinerman said, though, straw doesn't do too well with rain, and we've been having lots of that.

    My newest from Art

    Great hat--congratulations! I've learned when it comes to Art and ribbons just trust him. Here's a question for Art. Are you still using the lightweight sweats with the lightweight felt? This sweat and another one I saw pics of recently are darker than the one I have, darker brown like the...

    Newbie looking for some advice

    For casual attire like you're describing, I think something like the HST--the Stratoliner/Open Road style--would be just the thing. If you're planning on ordering from Art he will be able to give you a lot of good suggestions, including sending you felt swatches of what he has available. You...

    Fortune & Glory Coalition {Adventurebilt}

    Steve's apparently been sick, which explains why no ABs have been going out the past little bit. I expect mine ought to be here shortly after he gets healed up. I'm sure he's been working too hard and it's caught up with him.

    The MK Falcon: The Time Has Come

    Would you mind giving us a count of how many flew the coop when all is done, MK? Mine looks great on my bookshelf. Maybe folks could post pics of where their falcons landed.
