Welcome Jimmy. I know your story. I've worn hats for many years, but only since I've found this forum have I begun to learn a little about them.

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I have been perusing many of the posts for a while. I discovered John Helmer's Haberdashery in Portland this past summer. My first hat was a Fur felt Bailey whose crown seemed to taper to a pinpoint. I admired many of your thought on the Akubra's and went with a Mid-Brown Stylemaster. It has been fun wearing this hat. I just got a DM Moonstone Squatter. My wife has gotten into hats now, she likes her Stetson weekender. We will be heading up to David Morgans by Seattle to get her an Akubra Snowy River in grey. Thanks for all the great posts and information that you put on here. It has been terrific discovering hats. Emilio and Elizabeth.
Hello all,
As you can see I started young ( I'm the guy with the pork pie) I've been lurking around for a few week's and looking forward to learning and too making a few friends along the way.
I am glad to have found The Fedora Lounge. Most of you guys seem to be more into vintage and custom made hats. I have only recently started my collection of fedoras and to date, I have three, which I purchased new (Dobbs, Biltmore). I will post a picture when the forum allows me to post attachments. I guess I have to post a few times before this feature is available to me. I have enjoyed seeing the photos and reading the posts here.
zetwal, thanks for the info....I had searched the site for posting pics and did not see anything on how to do it, only that I was not allowed to post attachments. Now, I know!
This is a really nice site, and you guys have such nice hats, theres no way I can keep up with you guys. Ive been working with hats for 5 years. I have Dobbs, Stetsons, Baileys, Maysers, Borsalinos, and I have been trying to get my hands on a nice Habig. I know enough about them I could make them, so any questions on cleaning, storing, blocking, repair, etc just ask or pm me. I hope I can bring something to this already great forum.
