New Fellow's Experiences

[Chuck Naill]

First off, you guys slay me with your knowledge and inventory of exceptional hats and caps.

I "decided" to start wearing hats and caps as a part of my business attire two years ago. Since then I have gone "off the deep end".

My currect inventory includes a fur felt Indiana Jones, a Bollman 140 Trilby, a Dobbs "milan", an authentic "Panama" (that I paid $30 ......I know its not really authentic), two Hatpeople caps (three if you count the one I had made for my grand daughter), a Kangol newsboy and a Jaxson newsboy. My olders hats include a Pendelton wool fedora, a L.L. Bean "Moose River", a very old Stetson Road King (the sweat mark are all me), and assorted straws in assorted condition that I use on the gentleman's farm.

I think I have caught a disease. I am just glad that I have a 7 1/2 head or Ebay would be my demise...LOL!! THanks for a great site and expertise.

Welcome to the Lounge. It all starts with that first hat, be it wool or fur felt. Have fun bouncing around the threads, and I'd love to see your hat.

You think you got the bug now? Wait till you get a custom hat!

Or, you could just buy a few hats that you're really happy with, and wear them all the time.

Either way, welcome. The people here are top notch

We admitted we were powerless over hats and that our lives had become sartorial...

That's a good idea. Yes, I have noticed that all top notch folks here.

I just know that day is coming.

Just for the record.......I too have a 7 1/2 size head and I've spent over $900 on Ebay and the Lounge here over the past 60 days which include an early 40's Stetson Stratoliner, 50's Borsalino and my most recent, 50's Stetson Playboy. These are all bucket list hats for most of us here and I've been looking for all of them for almost two years. They just happen to all pop up at the same time and you just can't afford to let perfect hats slide.

Yeah, whenever we get the urge to buy a hat, we call a fellow member who comes over to your house, and you drink till the urge goes away.
