It's been a while since I converted my Snowy, I forgot how big that brim was...

Nice, Chamuco. The Temple is a great hat. Is the 150th Royal Quality?

No, regular one, but it is still so nice...this mink color rocks

I rather dislike the overdone "hat sprezzatura" with bumps and bashes all over the place. I don't want a hat to look like a piece of factory shaped plastic, but also not like a hat that has accidentally been sat on. I particularly don't care for the messy manipulation of the top crown...

Now that I'm paying more attention to them, I find it interesting that so many hats worn in movies from the 1930s and 1940s have such imperfectly shaped crowns. I can only imagine it's a reflection of those times, and that a lot of men in those days weren't particular or meticulous about the shapes their hats attained through daily use.

I can't make out the line at the top, but the "banner" says "The Hatterie", and beneath that "Akron, Ohio".

The Hattery was a well-known hat store in Akron. I think they're still in business:

Hope this works out. It seems I'm behind the curve on loading images to the redesigned site. Anyway, here's the new Knox Twenty. Took it in trade for a new custom 100% beaver.

Thanks fellas, It is a fine hat that will likely get sold to some lucky person with a smaller head than me.

A Stetson Imperial I bought at one of their outlet stores when I was thru there back in the spring.

I received a new hat yesterday, but because of a discrepancy in the listing that I did not catch (my fault) the hat is way too small for me. I can send it back, but I may put it up for sale here in case anyone is looking for a really small (21.5 ID) hat.

It's a kitten finish Resistol. If it was my size I would definitely keep and wear it often.

That is a SUPER slick lookin' Stetson! Nice pic composition with the vintage camera, as well!

I had thought that BUFFALO was the place it was shipped to and sold. Alan corrected me in The Cavanagh Club thread. It is the color. haha

The hat looks good on you! I'm happy that a Lounge member grabbed it! It was mine. Looks great on ya! Njoy, sir! Yes. Buffalo is the color.

I received this a couple of days ago out of the bay. It’s my first Cavanagh. I figure it’s no newer than the 1950s, but I really don’t know.

More details and photos of this hat in The Cavanagh Club thread.

Looks great on ya! Making it 'yours' by re-bashing simply gives it another wonderful look. I never posted in the Cavanagh thread as I was bit too busy with school. Nonetheless, njoy!

Thank you, Jack. I have gotten numerous compliments on it.
