    How to travel with hats

    I always put it on the floor behind my feet. Occasionally forget its there on exiting the plane, but have yet to loose a hat or have one damaged.

    fountain pens

    Sailor/Namiki/Dunhill Ah yes, one can dream. An Emporer under the tree would be just perfect Santa! Such beautiful pens. There is no other nib quite as responsive and smooth.

    fountain pens

    Pelikan 25 Jahr NORD/LB This is my current favorite. Deep Blue, almost black under florescent but in sunlight is deep ocean blue. A beautiful pen. Limited edition of 6,920. Comes with a bottle of ink. An M800 size. Found it on eBay, so there might be others out there. Not sure of the year...

    fountain pens

    For travel, specifically air travel, Pelican gets my vote. I have large hands, so the 800 series works well. No leaks, behaves in all conditions, feels good in the hand and writes perfectly each and every time. I really like the Omas 360, great feel in the hand, but can't deal with the cap...

    How did you start wearing hats?

    I probably have my mother to thank for starting me on hats when she bought me that yellow and blue beanie. From there is was on to cowboy hats and tricycles. During the death to the establishment phase the european look was my thing, it had to be a fedora. Ball caps just didn't fit with the...

    Size Question....

    If I were buying a new hat from a dealer I could not visit, I would first measure my head with a tape measure to get the exact size in inches and then state this is as the size you require. This way they can find the correct size to send for the brand your interested in purchasing. As for...

    What's the point?

    high price of whippet Gentlemen, as the soon to be new owner of the hat in question, let me add my 2 cents. Like any auction on ebay, you can end up in a bidding war. Difficult to predict the popularity. Having lost a few, I decided I would go for it. There have been others in better shape...

    Dating borsalino liner logos

    I recently purchased a borsalino which has a logo similar to mouse grey in the original post and those of Bellytank. The tag reads 2783P. The lining is sewn. I would assume from the previous posts, the tag reads American size not metric and "original house", that it was made in 1983. The box...

    Fedora's in hot weather?

    I live in Miami and find there are only a few times of the year it's comfortable to wear a felt hat. Generally I find straw hats to be much better and save wearing the felt's for travel out of the state.

    Puerto Fino hats?

    re: Puerto Fino Can't tell you how they rate vs vintage, as I am new to the vintage pursuit. The store is located in North Miami. The hats are made in Columbia. I have a bunch of Puerto Finos, both felt and straw. Nothing really top end but great hats for a good price.
