Post New Hats Here!

[Strapped-4-Cache]

Just received this Knox Madison Avenue today. The charcoal color matches well with the cashmere topcoat I found in a thrift store recently. Gotta love a bargain!

And again, for some reason, Photobucket is rotating my pictures 90 degrees. Not sure why.

Nice Knox, even at an angle.

Nice new hats, Worf and Jason!

Manfred! I kept trying to find you and figured you had, like me, taken a hiatus from the FL! Your are a classy gentleman my friend!

 

[Chepstow]

Jason, my friend. I thank you very much. That is a nice compliment and I give it return.
I comment about two years the "What are you wearing" thread every day and now I think, I don't want to bore my fellows with my every day comments.
You're right, it's a little time out!

Funny how the posting cycles seem to work... We're in, we're out; but we're always here.

Serious new ones here today! Strapped-4-C is forming a most respectable collection!

Mr. Bucklin, your new VS is a real classic beauty, sir!

Wow-o-WOW, Worf! THAT lid is SO perfect for you... don't sweat it up TOO much (at OUR 7-3/4 size, how long will it take to replace it?)

 

[Chepstow]

That's right Charlie! No day without Lounge, haha!

 

[hatsRme]

But I DO miss your happy face, Manfred!!

 

[Chepstow]

Maybe a noggin shot tomorrow!

 

[ManofKent]

JBucklin - lovely purchase

Worf - Looks great.

Nice hats going around lately, as usual!

I picked up a NEW, new hat today.
Stetson Runabout in Caribou. Advertised as a foldable, cloth sweat. Light, relatively thin felt. Feels good!
Unlined, came with a center dent. Not enough real estate in the crown to make it a teardrop. Brim is labeled 2 1/4" but its a solid 2 3/8" on this size XL. It's slightly loose on my typically 7 1/2 modern Stetson head - the Large was definitely a bit too snug. Nothing a felt strip won't cure.
Build quality is sound, better than normal in my experience.

 

[ManofKent]

Kyle - it looks very good on which is the most important thing

 

[Monte]

Manfred, glad to hear you are still around. I am not as active on the lounge as I was last winter since I'm working more now.
Worf, that is a perfect hat and jacket.
Kyle, looks like a good all around hat.

 

[Rogera]

jbucklin very nice VS. You must have jumped on that as soon as Art got the felt color! Worf that hat/ jacket combo is sharp sir. Very nice.

You too KyleK. I like the crease and color on that lid.

Hi Manfred!

My new Campdraft Heritage Grade – this one (which is CD #4) is in Silverbelly.

Final crease after steaming last night:

Kyle that Stetson is YOU! Perfect hat.

TPD166 It's not possible to live in Texas and have too many CD's... ESPECIALLY when they're as nice as that Heritage. Perfectly Beautiful crease!

Monte, ma man, try not to let work cut into your funtime (dang that REAL WORLD stuff, like responsibility, bills, etc.). You have been conspicuously absent (read: busy) lately. But we get it!
