Evil Little Ermine That's one helluva hat box. Do you think the missing Ermine hat looked something like its evil namesake? -
Wall Street Journal Story On Hats Revival
Hat Etiquette Issues... in Elementary Schools? Who would have thought elementary schools would be dealing with hat etiquette issues? Correct me if I'm wrong, but kids didn't wear fedoras in the 1940's and 1950's. This is a whole new level of popularity. The video is pretty good, too... -
Classic Hat Makers List
Grandpa Schoble... I just got an email from a woman in New Jersey who says her mother-in-law is Mr. Schoble's daughter. How cool is that? I'll do my best to get more information, and I'll post it on the Lounge ASAP. -

Vintage boys hats or decent quality new hats
Thank you! I haven't been on the Lounge as much as I would like, and I'm very pleased to find this thread. Thank you all for your positive comments. I've been corresponding with FL member Babs, and we're working on a hat for his son. Hopefully, we'll be able to post some of his... -
Johnnyphi Hat Club
Very Cool! I can't tell you how happy I am to read your comments about the Royalist. I knew they were great hats, but they weren't a "name brand", so I didn't treat them the same as the rest of the hats. I wish I had, but I'm glad that you ended up as the beneficiary! Keep in mind... I have... -
Mid-Atlantic hat repairs?
Did I mention... Mr. Corvelli's grandfather was from Italy... Did I mention that? He might be worth a visit next time you're in the DC area. Unfortunately, he got into a dispute with his last apprentice/partner, and his "partner" ended up absconding with half of Mr. Corvelli's vintage hat... -

Mid-Atlantic hat repairs?
Dittos... Mr. Corvelli is an old pro. (He's listed under "American Hatters" in the Yellow Pages.) He works out of his apartment, and he's very reasonably priced. Probably $35 to $40 for a clean and block. He can also replace sweatbands and ribbons. He was trained by his father and his... -

A Few Notables from Hirsch's Attic... I've posted these elsewhere, but it's probably worth reposting them in this excellent thread. I can't tell you much about the history of each box, but I do think the yellow Stetson box is nearly identical to the box posted by Jimmy. These aren't showpieces... -
ADAM ALLEY
Show us the hats! Pete... I'm glad you like the hats, but we've been waiting over 2 weeks for you to show us how you shaped them. How did they turn out? -
ADAM ALLEY
A doozy! Rob... I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond to your post. The hat looks great on you! Well done! -

Pre- 1940s Stetson dress hats.
Pre-1940s? This hat has been discussed on other threads, but I don't think we've officially decided if it's pre-1940's or not. (Forgive my lack of perfectly staged photos.) It definitely has the gold/black size tag. -
Johnnyphi Hat Club
Outstanding!!! Beautiful! You did a great job creasing the hat, and I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying the hat. These Royalists truly are mystery hats. I have always believed that they were made by Adam, but I don't really have any evidence to back that up. It's just a hunch. I also... -
Johnnyphi Hat Club
Wow! Thanks for posting these photos! They are great! I should have hired you to photograph every hat... Although, you probably would have charged me for the travel from Germany to DC. :eusa_doh: -
ADAM ALLEY
Looks familiar... Your hat reminds me of this hat... I'd say early to mid 50's, just because the liner says the hat is an "Executive", which is a quality designation from the 50's, but I'm still stumped by the wide variation of details. The style is so similar, yet the liner is different... -
ADAM ALLEY
Shameless, but successfull... Great discussion. I haven't seen any mention of Long in my stash, but that doesn't mean it isn't true. Makes sense that Adam was buying wholesale hats and using their retail distribution channels to make some dough. In general, Adam was shameless when it...
