    The Prototype "MD1" - Matt Deckard Apparel Fedora!

    It fit perfectly. and I was one of the lucky ones to snag a 7 1/2. I am glad to hear that Matt is selling lots of them. The more he sells the better the chance of getting another color. I'd love a nice mid brown myself.

    Clip-on Bow Ties

    Being that you OWN clip-ons, I don't know if I should be talking to you or not. A quick look at Wikipedia reveals that: The clip-on tie was reportedly invented on December 13, 1928 in Clinton, Iowa. I believe it was the cause of the Great Depression.

    That would be a garnet and gold tie but I doubt he rooted for the FSU Seminoles.

    Clip-on Bow Ties

    CLIP-ONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Back! Back! Back, I say! For those of you who do not wear bows: A gentleman does not wear clip-on ties and he does not admit to knowing anyone who does. My guess would be that these were worn by someone who belonged to either the...

    Post New Hats Here!

    The MD1 Matt calls his hat the rather prosaic name of MD1. He calls the color Gray Phantom which I think is really a much better hat name. Still its his hat and I do not name hats as I can't stand to give anything else top billing. For more on my phobia of naming things, you can read this on...

    The Prototype "MD1" - Matt Deckard Apparel Fedora!

    The MD1 Mine came in this week. The felt is nice and plush. The sweat is brown and buttery. The felt is gray with some brown and some green depending on the light. I really like the ribbon choices on the binding and hat band - very tasteful. The crown is tall, very straight, and takes a...

    Available at Sears in the 25# bag for 24.99 or you can get "food grade" at most health food stores Scout cleaner for white hats mentions "silica" as one ingredient which is basically the same thing. The health food store claims it lowers cholesterol. When not cleaning your hat, you are...

    Brim shaping?

    :offtopic: Once I downloaded that and then magnified it to 200% it all became quite clear! :ontopic: I tried snapping it in front and then moving my hands along the brim, pulling down, until my thumbs touched my ears. Interesting -- the hat ended up snapped like it always is. I...

    Chatham Chatter - The Stetson Chatham

    Wet Chatham I posted a note and pictures of my Chatham in the "Hats in the Elements" thread following a massive cloud burst that soaked the hat in less than a minute. Complete with paper towels showing powder leeching. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showpost.php?p=915853&postcount=103

    Photographs Of Hats Fresh From Surviving The Elements

    Chatham and Rain It was raining lightly as I left the restaurant and took off across the parking lot when one heck of a cloud burst, busted, big time, right over my head. I was in the rain for about a minute. When I got in the car, I tossed my hat on the seat and snapped a shot. The black...

    Show Us Your Grotons!

    Carodelo, the stats say that it is a leather sweat with satin liner. Can you describe the satin finish and give it a critique? Garrett, some of us have large heads, small bank accounts, and wives -- which precludes winning anything worth wearing from OFAS.;)

    Hat Suggestion

    With those newsboy hats and red vests ya'll went out of the tasteful formal style and into pure costume. Which is ok, but a let down for most of us fashion phreaks. :rolleyes: Don't get me started about that flower. :rage: The Homburg looked very nice, but I wish you had told us that...

    Hey thanks, I was reading the thread thinking that I was going to have to come up with a contribution and you did it for me. There are some AWFULLY nice pieces here. My experience is also that you should be specific. The Chatham I detailed in my letter and it came back perfect. I also...
