Nice pickups
Some really nice pickups here lately. Ignatz, looks like you hit the motherlode on your trip. That hat looks great on Mrs. Ignatz! Best, Sam
Welcome!
Welcome to the Lounge! The sainted Ignatz speaks wisely. Not only are the hats addictive, so is the Lounge. If you participate, you will make a lot of new friends from all over. You might want to even consider putting together a social gathering for other hat lovers in your area...

Cool pack placement
The pack can be placed on the head and then the hat placed over it (like catchers used to do with cabbage leaves). For something a tad more elegant, I have fitted some hats with a pouch fabricated from an old stocking fitted into the front of the hat as close as possible to...
A little secret
I live in downtown Philly which is located in the Delaware River Valley. July/August temperatures and humidities routinely run in the 90's. I wear my fur felt hat all summer because I have found the perfect sub-hat accessory.

Beautiful panamas
