Something has been bothering me since I began reading this site...
Stingy is pronounced like, "stin-jee." Or if that doesn't make sense, like you said: a child that doesn't share is stingy. -
Ask a question, get an answer
Maybe This Thread Could Be A Sticky... Here's my question: Where does one go about getting a hat stretcher?? I just got a vintage hat in 7 1/4 - that's my size, but it's a tight 7 1/4 and needs just a bit of stretching. Thanks for anticipated help. -
The Green Machine
Stetson Royal Deluxe This is a Stetson Royal Deluxe in sage green with a very dark green ribbon. There is no model stamped on the sweat or noted on the lining, but the dimensions and edge binding are quite evocative of a Whippet. Pics are not great in terms of the actual color. I've had this... -
At the Dog Track... The Whippets
Bob has 6 Whippets?!?!? I recall him outbidding me on a green Borso that ended up needing a new sweatband, so I believe we're the same size...(nudge/wink!) In case you run out of kennel space, Bob, I'd be happy to help out. ;) -
Berets, Anyone?
Another possible source for berets, depending on your needs. I didn't read the whole post from beginning, so maybe this was already mentioned. http://www.shushans.com/anglobasque.html I have had the Bakarra, which I purchased from them, for many years. Leather sweat (it's that patent... -

Post New Hats Here!
Garrett, I'm sure I'm not alone in this - I would love to see that Penn-Craft when you put a crease in it. Even without a crease you can see that reverse taper at the back. What a nice hat! -

Well you have your work cut out for you, trying to keep this rowdy bunch under control! I guess that's why, with huge responsibility comes huge pay. Drinks on RBH!! -

"Where there's tea, there's hope"
Sir Dobbs, I am behind you nearly 100%!! I believe it is mandatory to have a variable temperature kettle so one can more readily get the right temp for whites/greens/oolongs vs. congou/black teas. As you pointed out, brewing time is important - it's easy to produce a bitter cup of green...- Chinaski

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I saw that auction with about an hour to go and I think it was at around $35!! Looks as though you sniped well, and hopefully you'll post pics when you get it. That is definitely an interesting hat. -

Akubra Lawson
Yes, I do have one. It's my go to hat for any more strenuous outdoor activity - yard work, hiking, etc. I got mine at Aussie Bush Hats and have been pleased with it. If you like the looks you can't go wrong. -

Is that Adam as pristine as it looks? It appears to be a fantastic hat! -
New Member Checking In (with new hat)
Astro, you wear that one really well. With the lack of larger vintage sizes available on eBay and elsewhere I'd say you've hit one out of the park with the MD1!!! :eusa_clap -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Dreispitz, JtL, Mario - all standouts today. I've got to give the nod to Douglas for the Douglas/Big Al style brim treatment...and what an interesting color on that hat. It seems to work well! -
Post New Hats Here!
I have to say Scott F's Vitafelt is quite interesting. I didn't pick up on the homburg cues but Garrett obviously did. It must be that fine line of stitching seen on the top of the brim, and the overall look. Based on Garrett's knowledge I was ready to concede "homburg" and then Jimmy came in... -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
I haven't posted for a while, but thought I'd weigh in on the topic... Dinerman, I like the non-snapped down brim on that one. It looks like a great seasonal hat. -

Ask a question, get an answer
Sorry Storman, no help on that one from me, and another question: I picked up a Lee Adventure (Christmas present) and wanted to know if there is a Lee-centric thread. Any pointers would be appreciated! Also, I've been away from the Lounge for a while so hello and Happy Holidays, Loungers! -
Where The Stetson Hat Roams
I read through the links Lefty posted. To summarize, posters seemed to believe bison or buffalo fur makes for dense, rough, unfinished felt. I would add, most of those comments were hearsay, and not made by anyone owning a buffalo felt hat. As an owner, I would agree the felt is thick. The... -
Any questions for a hat seller and specialist in Akubras?
I'll throw in a second on gtdean's request. I would be interested to know the answer to this one...
