    Green, Fuzzy and French!

    Welcome to the club, I've certainly been in that same situation. And yeah, I don't know why our paths haven't crossed yet. We'll have to remedy that soon.

    Young loungers

    I'm 45 now, but I started wearing my dad's old fedora back in high school, and I used a shaving brush and soap soon after I started shaving. It helped me develop my own style, as I never felt the need to be just like everybody else. Welcome aboard!

    Green, Fuzzy and French!

    "It's not easy being green..." Well, it sure is green and it sure is fuzzy! This is now my most "out there" hat, and I'm going to enjoy wearing it! It's in pretty nice shape, the nap is a little flat here and there and there is one stain on the liner and the sweatband desperately needs...

    Golden Era Post Offices

    U.S. Fedoras, Circa 1919

    I was watching one of those company movies produced by Eastern Air Lines starring Arthur Godfrey and a Lockheed Constellation, and WWI ace Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker was in it, and he wore a hat that looked exactly like #13, top left hand corner. The movie was dated 1953, and they showed...

    I gues I'm lucky, my penmanship is so atrocious I can't justify buying a nice pen, even though I want to. lol

    Was that an Adam "trademark" I wonder? They also seemed to favor unconventional bow designs in the ribbon.

    Vintage silk ties & disintegration

    I wonder if you could put the remains in a picture frame, folding the bad part underneath, so you could still at least look at it.
