I love the stark contrasts. It is shaped just perfect.


You have that crease just so. It looks so period.


Beautiful Esther creation Rodolfo! Love the ribbon treatment.


I'm glad that the general public gets to enjoy this museum piece like we have.



Blue theme... I kind of like that bright blue of the second one. You didn't mention it's brand????


Looking smooth son! Nothing could be finer than this Borsalino Hommie in the morning.


A black hole upon thine head Michael. Looks so nice, must feel even better.


A big pot o' mums, great idea to highlight this wonderful Strat. Perfect Anthony.


The color and finish on this Schoble is so rich looking. 50s?


Impressive straw Bob! I do like that weave on the crown. Cool.

Thx yes.

Great look, Bob, and a smashing Homburg!

Thanks Doug!

Looking good, Boze but down here natty means Natural Light. AKA nasty light.

Wow, Moe, good going! I would have never thought of using coconut oil on toquilla straw. It looks great!

Thanks Fed! Hopefully it will stay limber so I can get more usage out of it without fearing for it's safety every time I snap the brim down.

Fantastic idea for a fantastic hat. I will make a note. Be sure to give updates.

Thanks Bill!
I will keep the Lounge informed.

Just to show what a difference a few minutes can make here on the coast.
The beautiful warm sunny day continued until I reached the thrift store that is usually the turnaround point on my daily walk. I lingered for about ten minutes inside, and walked out to this.

That's my town's harbor. It's really there. Trust me.

That's usually a great ocean view.
About twenty minutes later, the sun was back and no fog to be seen. An hour later, socked in again. Makes it tough sometimes to pick a hat that's good for a whole day.

I like that rich green of the moss color. Goes very well with that jacket. Nice D.

Thanks, Red! I seem to gravitate towards green.

 

[Dlaniger]

Nice.

Thanks. RJR! You are looking rather sporty in that Blue Allesandria today

 

[Dlaniger]

Super sharp sir!

Thanks, Hat. That Victor looks great. I have a thing for wide ribbons and it really compliments that tall crown and brim.

Merry Thursday

Cool Matt!

Hey all!
Another beautiful day.
I love this old 30's Adam Royal Quality Panama, but I don't wear it often because, as sometimes happens with these old pieces, the straw had become dry with age. It was at the point where I was very uneasy about snapping the brim down for fear of damaging the hat. So, today I had an idea. Toquilla is a palm. So is Coconut. I thought that maybe their oils could be similar. So, I got my jar of organic coconut oil out of the cupboard and rubbed a little on the brim, using the warmth of my fingers to melt it. It soaked in almost instantly. I applied a little more all around the brim, rubbed it in good and put the hat in a warm sunbeam for a few minutes. The difference in flexibility is amazing. Snaps right down, no creak, no nervousness, no greasy feeling. The straw just seems to have lost a few decades.
Anyhoo, here it is.

I certainly hope the revitalization lasts!

Have a great day!

Great hat and a interesting technique. Keep us posted on it's effectiveness.

Nice hat and great look, D. What are the boots?

Nice Great shirt and hat combo.

I love the fall colors on the trees and shrubs. Another day, another Champ. Just a gray hat on a sunny day.

Yes, but what a great gray hat! Love the background. I may still have another week of my blazing backyard maple.

Stetson campaign hat.

Impressive. Is there a Boyscout metal pin or badge that could go in that grommet? That would really be cool!
