I'm sure she already has a plan.

You're mean, Jim. Mean Jim has a ring to it

Only if I was to join the WWE.

Or the old XFL. I could be a teammate of He Hate Me.

Mean Jim, that's an Akubra model like the Banjo Paterson isn't it?

Maybe they are quality levels:

The Mean Jim,
The Whaddaya Mean Jim,
and the Who Do You Think You Are Jim.

And, of course, the women's hat,
The Hell No Jim.

Please let us see it when you get it back.

Well I finally got the fedora back. They did an outstanding job on the refurbish,however, it is not the colors I had asked for. I wanted a lighter brown ribbon and a brim binding that matched the felt. I am still pleased and would use them again. The price was right.

It looks nice. Who did the work for you?

Catalina Hatters in Texas. I believe it was $90 plus shipping. The old Stetson was a wreck so I am pleased. It took about 14 weeks but I knew the holidays would slow it down some.

 

[Héctor Fernández]

They did a very nice job. Congratulations and enjoy it.

Thanks for the information.

Catalina may do dress weights but you would never know it in their shop - wall to wall stiff, heavy cowboy hats and their 100X is mucho high $. Yours looks great. A lighter ribbon color would be a nice choice too.

My sister's husband Jim is simply known as "Dammit Jim".

So this hat popped up on a second hand site I use over here in Japan. It says it’s a vintage hat from the 1960s, that the felt is in beautiful condition and the only damage is small scratches on the sweatband. The pictures, though seem to show some spots on the felt. Olive green with a black ribbon.

It’s going for 9000 yen - that’s about $83 US.

I’m wondering what people can tell me about the hat, the brand and if it’s worth considering. I may be able to knock the price down a little.

On a side note, is there a hard and fast definition of the term vintage hat? Over here where the hat culture isn’t so strong, people tend to call anything that looks vaguely like a fedora a vintage hat.

Hahahaha!
I haven't been able to enter the lounge as much as I used to lately, because of Tapatalk being down.
Sorry if this has already been asked, but is there any news on the subject?

Hey Max:
Being a person that entertains conspiracy theories from time to time in opposition to coincidental occurrence theory....
An argument could be made that Tapatalk tried to put the squeeze on Lounge members to upgrade, having failed to prevail, “glitches” mysteriously appeared causing havoc with the servers. Not being able to eat, the Lounge tapped out on Tapnbalk...err..Tapatalk. No tip either.
Hearings will begin to get to the bottom of this, heads won’t roll and today is tomorrow’s good old days.
Still down i think Max.

If you search for Tapatalk you will find articles where other forums have dropped them because they collect user data in opposition to forum policies, excessive ads, and security issues.
