Just won this

[Lensmaster]

I am new here, just signed up a few days ago. But after losing out on a few auctions I just won this hat. <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200166206069&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=010"> My new hat</a> When it shows up I'll try to post pictures of me wearing it.

Gorgeous hat! Congratulations and, more importantly, WELCOME!

Lensmaster, Welcome to the Fedora Lounge. What a great hat you chose for openers. A stetson 3X Beaver Quality Homburg! Try to make twenty posts before it comes. Then you can post a photo of yourself wearing it. :eusa_clap

Welcome! Great way to start! Interesting that this hat is described as a Fedora, but it's actually a beautiful Homburg. We expect to see pix of you in it!

Very sharp lid, Lens . . .

Can't wait to see it on.

while I wait

While I wait for the hat to show up I'll tell you a little about me. Growing up I loved to watch old movies. In college I discovered my interest in classic style. Over the next twenty years I developed my clothing style. Over the years I bought a number of cloth and straw hats that were cheap and didn't fit well. But in recent months I became interested in getting a hat to wear with my suits. I always loved the look of fedora's. As is my pattern I started researching the subject so I can learn about the item and make the best choices. In a Google search I found a link to one of the threads here. I'm glad I did. Not only the hat forum but many of the sections of this site are fascinating. And darn it I might end up with several hats for different moods or occaisions.
