vintage vs. custom
Hmm, maybe I'm just being unrealistic... I mean, my own vintage hat looked to be in very good condition, although there was a bit of noticeable signs of it's age and/or a bit of staining. What I mean is, if I see the hat on eBay, I'll have to like it to begin with. The pictures posted there of... -
vintage vs. custom
OK, I think I missed the point of the thread when I originally posted, but really, if money was no object, I'd prefer a vintage hat with a bit of history behind it, provided that it meets my criteria of perfect condition. Otherwise, it's hard to beat custom for that good of condition. -
just ordered a Knightsbridge in the color of Cork...
That's awful news, I'm sorry that had to happen like that. Dropping colors, huh? That's what I liked about them, their color variety. I was even considering beige recently! That's really cheap. -
vintage vs. custom
Well, let me give you an example of what I think. It depends, but for what I needed in order to achieve a certain look, a modern production hat (as far as I've seen) would not cut it, and I didn't care to spend too much to go custom at the moment: I have since converted a vintage Stetson hat... -
Which decade is the worst in terms of style?
The past month or so, I've been dabbling into late-1960s looking "Elvis '68 Comeback Special" type sideburns, with the flared bottom and all (mine more slightly than Elvis). So how do the rest of you feel about long sideburns? I think they're cool, and even since four or five years ago, I've...- The Good

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Enjoying your New Yorker already? I've heard it's new, how is it? It looks good, and has a great color. Light grey's one of my favorites, I should know this; I own one. ;) -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Unfortunately, no picture, and I'm no longer dressed, but I wore my Stetson Open Road this morning out to an early, outdoor sunrise church service, and to breakfast afterward with my family and grandmother. Had a grand old time today. My dad says that my Open Road happens to remind him of one of... -
Can someone help me identify a WWII movie?
I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't remember whether or not it was. I knew it was supposed to be an older movie, let's say pre-1970s. I'm leaning towards it having been broadcast in color, though.- The Good

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
I wore two hats today: one an Akubra Fed IV, and the other an Open Road Stetson: Tomorrow for Easter, I may opt to wear the Stetson. I plan on attending a very early morning, outdoor church service, so it will be very cold; I'll need a good felt hat. -
On giving your opinions of photographs showing fellow Loungers wearing their new hats
Oh, I'm sorry, I meant the hat website, but I am aware that a physical location exists, in Long Beach I think. -

Any writers?
In the mean time, I'm just going ahead with what I have in mind. I can edit it all later.- The Good

Too low? I don't think so, it looks right. Good hat, Lee! I've spotted a few Golden Gate hats before, I think Village Hat Shop has some. -

Oh OK, thanks for the update. That cork color looked nice, I wonder how different it'll look in your photo? Different lighting, and such... -
Have you ever had a stranger photograph you...when you were dressed vintage?
Hmm, I've never had this happen to me, but the closest I go vintage is just the hat, really, while wearing nicer clothes. Maybe when I start wearing a suit, and sport coats more often, it will... I have received much attention over my near-two years of wearing hats, though, most very positive...- The Good

The Open Road Guild
At about 4:16 in this video, Alain Delon is wearing a light colored felt (I think, it's floppy looking though) hat in the film "Les Aventuriers." It appears to be turned up pretty sharply. Does this look like an Open Road to you, or is it something else, maybe more like a wider brimmed western... -

So Blackthorn, did you ever end up getting your Knightsbridge? I would like to see a picture of it in reality, if you don't mind. That looks like a nice hat on the site. -
Any writers?
Lately, I've been making more of a serious effort, and during the past couple of days I've managed to come up with (what I believe to be) a good idea, having already written 2000 words or 8 pages. So, I'm hoping that by the end of the summer, I'll be able to have something up on Amazon's Kindle...- The Good

Which Haircut? Decisions, Decisions.
I was going to say the same, Tom: keep the sideburns long and shaggy (that's basically how I'm attempting to grow mine, they're 3 inch ones a bit below the ear), but have a slick, Elvis Presley styled pompadour (circa 1955/1956?). Or, a simple side-part will do, while we're going over the...- The Good

Hmm, but it looked good on him though: Maybe President Washington was the only man to look convincing wearing his hair that way, though. Well certainly during his own time, but I mean in today's lens.- The Good

Which Haircut? Decisions, Decisions.
If you like the Duke's hairstyle, you could emulate it or take in some inspiration from it if you want. It doesn't look that bad, maybe a bit unkempt by early to mid 20th century standards, but the 19th century was a different time. Men's hair during that century was generally a little more full...- The Good
