    Would you like the fedora and related hats to become main stream fashion

    My vote was "yes" as well. Looking at the hundreds, if not thousands, of photos of FL members in their favorite hat and admiring how nice they look, I can't imagine what seeing a good portion of main stream society in fedoras would be like. Besides,...when I've got a nice fedora on, I...

    Fountain Pens: Who uses them, and why?

    All of a sudden I feel so old.......... Are you guys serious? Cursive isn't being taught in schools today?:( What a shame.......It's not like it takes very long to learn. :) Miss Molly there are examples of Cursive alphabets and instruction on how to write the letters online, it's...

    Woo hoo!! Pheasant season's almost here!! Nice hats everyone! Mario, love that look buddy!!:D No pic but I wore a fedora into the fire-station today for the first time ever, that old Dobbs Westward I posted in the beater thread yesterday. I've been a little reluctant to wear one on...

    And now for something completely terrible!

    I enjoyed all the posted videos, thanks! A waltz after all is just a 3/4,....any 3/4 will do, the tempo is all that matters.:) We have a six year old grand-daughter who I'm sure I've never seen sit down to watch more than two minutes of anything on television,......that is until last...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    :) Scott, I hope you don't mind me adding a little to what BobC and Indycop have to say as I know you didn't ask me,.....I have a Campdraft, several Borsalino Allesandrias and one vintage Dobbs Westward, probably from the mid 1950's, which I believe is what we call an Open Road clone. The...

    Fountain Pens: Who uses them, and why?

    :) What a great post,.....you really make me wish I'd hung on to some of the pens that I had years ago. Now I'm buying pens again,.....and falling deeply in love with them. I get a pen and pad out almost nightly for nothing more than the pure enjoyment of using a beautifully made pen and some...

    Beater Brotherhood

    Here's my old moth eaten beater: Dobbs Westward, I just got today! Cleaned it up a bit, re-bashed it, the sweat's in great shape, I have no idea how old the thing is, but it's exactly what I was looking for. Something I can mow the yard and clean out the garage in! I love it and can't...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Borsalino Rapallo :) This black Rapallo just came back from Optimo. As I said before, I'm really beginning to like the stingy brims! This one's felt is so thin it's almost hard to handle. Might it be what many of you refer to as "Handkerchief Felt"? Several of my Borsies have had liners...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Gray Borsalino Bought this one the other day that once belonged to Dr. Rocko M. Fasanella, a man with a very interesting history, and I feel fortunate to be the one to keep it in public for many more years. http://archopht.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/extract/127/6/818 Although...

    Cutting and rebinding brim on Camp Draft?

    I've got one that'll probably be going to Graham Thompson as soon as the Dobbs Westward I bought the other day gets here. Not being as much of a fan of the Campdraft as many here, I was going to make it my "beater". I think however, the old tan Westward will fit that bill. If it does, the...

    Holy Smokes Scott!! Theres' something about the shape of fedoras like that,....I've got enough hats to do me for a while, but I'm pretty sure I'll be in the market for something like that in the not-so-distant future.

    Little black Stetson I picked up a few weeks ago on the bay, the first vintage hat I ever bought that I can wear right out of the box, just needed a little brushing!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Little chilly here today, thought I'd take advantage of it and be a slob on the ol'e park-bench out front for a while. That's a gray herringbone from The Hat People that came in the mail the other day.
