Sounds like the lounge will be a good fit for you, ninly... welcome!
Welcome to the Lounge Bob.Hello all! I've been lurking here for a while, amazed and in awe of the collections of hats and the associated knowledge of styles and history. I thought I was on a solo mission of getting men to return to wearing good looking hats instead of ball caps! I glad to find others who appreciate new and vintage hats and aren't afraid to wear them! I started wearing dress hats a few years ago when I lucked into a close-out at a store and bought 5 hats. Since then I've added others that I've found at estate sales, vintage clothing stores, antique shops and online. My most recent purchase was a black Biltmore President. I also enjoy wearing bow ties. To quote Doctor Who, "Bow ties are cool!"
I live in Oklahoma City so cowboy hats are prevalent, but finding other styles can be a challenge. I'm an avid estate sale shopper, so I do find some there. I also collect... lotsa stuff! Mostly art, especially local artists. I am a home brewer and have been making beer for over 20 years. I also enjoy cooking, both indoors and out, and baking bread. I usually have a cigar to go with the beer and BBQ.
I look forward to participating and learning from you all!

some of the best pictures are a result of "not being completely aware" - wouldn't worry--looks good. I've pretty much gone threw life "not completely aware"Hi everyone. I'm from mid-Michigan, just a poor college student. Right now I only have a single hat, a Knox Twenty, and an assortment or not quite vintage clothes. I'm working to build a stronger wardrobe.
Here's me and my Knox in a slightly unflattering picture. I wasn't completely aware I was getting my photo taken.
okbrewer, you are almost a neighbor. I am surprised at how many "friends of the fedora" Oklahoma has considering our cow lot reputation.
Thanks for the welcome.
I am trying to upload from my computer but after going through the steps, I get a little red circle with an exclamation symbol to the right of the photo upload and it says invalid.
I have the photos out on Photobucket but when I try the URL copy and paste it says invalid URL.
dunno
