...All the chatter about CD's was a bit too overwhelming for me to try and resist!
Resistance is futile.

One Lounger said that he had both the Imperial and the Deluxe. The Deluxe is supposed to have a better sweat and a better finish to the felt. But, the Lounger said that he didn't think the felt quality and the better sweat was that much better to warrant the price difference between the two.

I really want to get this hat... in a 7 5/8.
I have tried on a few 7 1/2 s and they are tight. I have a vintage Portis (7 3/8) which is tight, but it has stretched out a little over time. I find it hard to find large vintages.

Yeah, if you're trying to not buy more hats The Lounge probably isn't the best place to spend your time. lol
Hmmm, let's see...I'll take that one, and that one, and...
Waiting for delivery of this medium brown Templeform from EBay
Hopefully it'll clean up well. Shipping was only $5.50, so it has potential for a $22 hat. The color, style and brim suit my needs. The back bow is interesting from a vintage standpoint, but I'm not sure it works for me for general wear. I might change it to a more conventional bow, or maybe even go very casual with a braided leather band.

Personally, I like the back bow style. To me, it evokes a different era without looking dated. Of course, simply wearing ANY fedora tends to do that.
Now I'm waiting for this Borsolino that I just won on EBay.

I had to read the fine print in the description to realize it's a Borsalino. That might be why I bought if for the minimum bid. Hopefully, I won't be disappointed.
