    Mint Vtg 1920s? Stetson Feather Weight

    Pretty sure that hat doesn't go with that box

    Film/television speech patterns from the 1920s to 1960s

    If you want a taste for the affectation of the 40s, check out "The Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer" or "Father was a Fullback" They are both full of the slang and "carriage" of that era The Andy Hardy films also, but they are more white bread. "She said 'MURDER' she said!" "Bless her pointed...

    Military Headdresses: The Ultimate Fashion Statement

    The United States Army Cavalry Museum is at Fort Riley, a couple of hours from here, and its amazing what they have preserved, what was held onto and is now on display. It's right off I-70. Anyone passing through should stop, to see the hats, if nothing else. MB ... If you think that is...

    Akubra Campdraft

    There is a crease that works great with Akubras, you can use it on Squatters, Pastoralists and I used it on my Kokoda, too, though it was not as necessary, but you CAN crease a Pastoralist into a Camp Draft style, you just have to be careful about how you arrange the crown so you get the maximum...

    1930's Pith Helmet on Etsy

    This is the model the Army issued for years. You see it in the early World War II photos. I have one and they are good sun helmets. The sweat band is leather/vinyl with laces at the back to adjust the size. The touch thing is it has a set of metal braces that rivet onto the back and then link...

    GONE! :) Slate Gray Dobbs Twenty Guild Edge - 7 1/4 Long Oval

    I have this same hat but in tan and if this was a size larger I'd be all over it. These are terrific vintage hats. AT LEAST as tasty as a Whippet to wear. Sam

    Calling all gentleman!

    I look like I've been around SINCE the 1930s, but lose out on every other aspect, sadly. Sam

    Item is gone

    This is a joke, isn't it? I mean ... it's not REALLY, REALLY gone this time, right? Like, as soon as I log off, it will be here, won't it? I KNOW HOW YOU ALL TALK ABOUT ME BEHIND MY BACK AND IT'S NOT GONE AT ALL IS IT? Sorry, too much coffee. Seriously ... Is it really gone? Sam

    Indy hat post em up

    Yeah, as I remember it was after a big event ... maybe New Year's. It's a great pic and a great hat. Looks like it was a great night, too. I want one of each, though I can't handle the who-hit-john. Sam

    Need help. From the experts.

    You are on to something with the homburg suggestion. A good fur felt homburg with a tall crown and wide brim always looks nice with a full on suit. They just tend to be hard to find or pricey. Very dressy though. Good suggestion! Sam

    Rum Diary hat on the bay

    You'd have to be quite the Depp-file to pay that

    Hannibal Heyes Hatband ("Alias Smith & Jones")

    Yeah, when you start parting out a kit like that, you can mount up costs real quick. I am under orders to get with my IT guy "kid" at work to learn how to post pics and I will work on that this week if I don't step on too many land mines; I have picked up a couple of concho belts over the...

    Man, am I in trouble. About the only time I wear my Squatter, all three, is with a sportscoat and tie. Course, out here, we don't go in for REAL dressy. Still too busy fightin off the Kiowas. Sam

    Indy hat post em up

    I think I still have the image saved. It was a long time ago and I just remember the guy had his picture taken after a party. He had on a bowtie, as I recall. Yep, just checked. Green hat, green sportscoat and yellow bowtie. A very happy looking gent! Anyway ... It was that really rich...

    grey lid with black band

    I have a gray Knox 25 with wide black ribbon. I'd say that is a classic combination and it goes well with navy, gray or black in sports coats .... I rarely wear a "suit." It also goes great with that color range in Hawaiian shirts and jeans! Sam

    Indy hat post em up

    Glad to hear about us discussing what we WANT to have, cuz I'm enough of a suck up to admit it ... I want one of those dark green Penmans, like the one that was posted on here years ago. I don't remember the story, but the owner was tipsy when he had his pic taken. I just remember he had on...
