I had a Facebook account a year or two ago. All my old friends from high school were on there. The more I chatted with them, the more it became clear why I never bothered finding them before. So to make a short story shorter, I deleted my Facebook account.
Just received the Stetson Retro & Stetson Whippet from Del Monico. For $50 for the Retro, it's not a bad hat at all. It's exactly what I wanted, a decent hat to wear to the beach.
I was a little hesitant to purchase the Whippet due to what I read about it in past threads. It definitely has the...
This is what I do.
I've bought a couple of different blocks & flanges in my size, some ribbon and a few sweatbands to just have fun with old hats. Strip them down, clean them up, put a new sweat in,and then just have fun experimenting with different ribbons, bashes, etc.
To me, giving an old...
Because of this thread, I just ordered two hats from Del Monico. Now I get to play the dreaded waiting game.
FYI: my wife is starting to dislike this forum! LOL
Looking at getting some sort of Panama/straw hat for the beach in a couple weeks, but I've never owned one, so don't want to put a lot money in it.
I've looked around and found the Stetson retro on DMs site and (I believe) Panama Bob's Panama Hat Works Montecristi Caballero on EBay.
They're...
I will definitely check out Batsakes when I go up to Cincinnati in November. Thanks for the link!
Tomasso- that's a bit too far even though it is just up the road "a piece" lol. I'm ridng in a Jeep Wrangler for 7.5 hrs up to Indy. That's equivalent to getting punched in the kidneys for 2 hrs by...
Thanks for the input. I've noticed that Indianapolis is full of "Lids",but not exactly what I was looking for (I'm sure you fellow Loungers can relate).
That Stephan Morris Hats looks interesting though!
Well, I guess I'll try again when I travel to Cincinnati later in the year.
I'm going to be visiting Indianapolis, this weekend and would like to visit a hat shop while I'm there if possible. I've done some searching online and all I could find is DadsHats. Since everything seems to be on backorder on their site, I'm figuring it may not be worth it to visit them.
Is...
Glad a fellow lounger got that hat. I actually started a thread on buying hats because of where they are from because of it. I seriously thought about getting it when it was listed lasted week since I'm here in Asheville, but figured I really didnt need it and didn't want to spend the money. I...
Anyone that has one of these newer Whippets care to share how they are holding up and if you think they are worth the purchase?
I was thinking about buying one so I don't have to wear my vintage as much.
Thanks!
