    Anello by Borsalino?

    Lots of really helpful info here. さすがはこの掲示板やな。 I quite like the look of the Stetson Ashland... I may have to make that my second hat, in the light grey. As for my first hat, I'm now leaning towards either the Claudio or the San Remo. Both are 2" brims, which I know many consider stingy but...

    Anello by Borsalino?

    Wow. I'll definitely look further into that, then. While we're on the subject of figuring out a proper hat, in terms of what I've read about matching hats to body type and facial structure, I probably ought to get something with a decent taper to the crown and a brim that's not too wide. I'm a...

    Anello by Borsalino?

    So, in response to my questions in this thread, I've been looking online for a good felt hat, where they are often significantly less expensive than buying the equivalent model at a brick-and-mortar place inside Japan. Over on Bencraft Hats, I've become particularly interested in a model called...

    Buying from a hatter in Osaka: Should I take the plunge?

    Interesting -- I'd never heard of CA4LA, but apparently they've got a shop in Osaka that's literally right down the street from Override, which I have visited. Both shops appear to have store brands that include felt hats, though at Override at least, they are unlined, and I worry about how well...

    Buying from a hatter in Osaka: Should I take the plunge?

    I talked to the man face-to-face, and he was perfectly willing to answer all my questions, and to help me pick out a hat that looked good on my head. He was even the one that suggested a visit to the showroom, where he has more hats to try on. Of course, I'm fluent in Japanese, so that's...

    Buying from a hatter in Osaka: Should I take the plunge?

    So, first things first: I'm a 24-year-old American living and working in Osaka, Japan, and have become an avid fan of classic style since I came to this country. (If only I were also well-heeled enough to shop at places like Brooks Brothers and Burberry for something other than socks.) I'm...

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Sure thing. (I apologize in advance to those with slow connections.) Here's the coat itself. Sticking up at the very bottom is also part of my good bicycle, which I keep indoors. (The granny bike stays outside.) The tag. Judging by the other thread, this makes it from right around 1950...

    Found a Peacoat from c. 1950 -- now I need it fixed Hello, everyone, This is my first post here on the Fedora Lounge, so I suppose I ought to introduce myself. I'm boushi_mania, and I'm a 24-year-old American living and working in Osaka, Japan. I first stumbled upon this site due to a...
