Post New Hats Here!

[Orangegrad]

This Fed IV Deluxe in Heritage Fawn arrived from Katoomba today. Bashed a center crease and will wear it tomorrow when I'll take some head shots.

Looks good Andy - you're picking up quite a collection of Akubra

 

[g.durand]

Nice one, Andy. I had my dark brown Deluxe out today, adding a little refinement to the shape of the brim. I like the way it has softened up nicely since I got it.

 

[Orangegrad]

Thanks, gents. I do like Akubra. I'm looking forward to wearing this new one tomorrow.

And Trudi at the Hattery was so right: Heritage Fawn is to brown what Moonstone is to gray - very neutral and will go with most anything.

 

[Chepstow]

g-durand and Alan, thank you very much, gentlemen!

Trio of vintage Stetsons . All 3/8 that fit like 1/2 and in colors I have not seen before . The whippet has liner sewn in and has an Adam sweatband.

 

[Chepstow]

Bond, great haul, looks like a good day for you!

 

[ManofKent]

Nice finds Bond

 

[Rogera]

I found this one yesterday while out shopping at antique stores. I have been looking for a nice Dobbs like this one.

 

[bowlerman]

Wow, very impressive. Manfred and Bond!!! Super nice Dobbs, Roger. I wish those Milans with wider brims were more readily available. I really never wear my stingy little pork pies.

 

[hatophile]

+1 on those Bond.

 

[CaramelSmoothie]

Just got this from a private seller. Can't wait until it arrives:

 

[g.durand]

That is stunning, Smoothie.

 

[Geldoc]

Really nice ones, Bond.

 

[CaramelSmoothie]

That is stunning, Smoothie.

Thanks Durand! I mentioned in another thread that I am in the early stages of putting together a website that showcases all of my hats. I have a TON of 20s, 30s and 40s hats that I'm just itching to show the world. I have a name picked out for the site and am in the process of trademarking it as well as thinking up a logo. It's going to be slow going especially to take the pictures of myself in each hat. The Lounge will be the first place I'll notify when I debut my beauties to the world!

Forget the movie which I didn't see, I think of the book The Great Gatsby as I look at this. Very nice.

Flange came back despite being stuffed in a tiny box(flange and damp cloth to smooth).

Very sharp. Now to break out the sax or Dave Brubeck records.

I'm looking forward to seeing the entire collection. Good luck

Yes, very Gatsbyish (is that a word?)
