IC, I think many are on the website. http://mariposa.yosemite.net/bwear.
I supplied Brett with Johnstons of Elgin cashmere mufflers from which he made great caps. You can get these scarves cheap at;

Simply the Best
Flat-Top;
Give Brett Stiles a call (209 966-5343) and you will get just what you want. I own about 25 of his caps and love them all. I have some in cashmere, leather, linen, tropical wool, tweeds, and even in Gore-Tex. He is the cap man and his product is truly "Comfort...
SOME GREAT NEWS
I spoke with Art last night and his procedure went flawlessly. The Docs found his heart in fine shape with no blockages or problems. I guess he will take a bit of rest time and be back to the blocks and flanges soon.
No, I don't think he will be able to play the violin but...
Ya got me.
I will come clean for the first time just for educational purposes and not to seem boastful.
I have been collecting hats far longer than probably anybody I know, let alone my fellow Loungers. I take FL very seriously but also find tons of informative material, good humor, great...
Role of a Bartender?
Alan C;
Perhaps you can set me straight. Why are you so zealously defending the business practices of a merchant who for the last year and change has contributed nothing to this forum and has acted in a business manner far less than either courteous or professional...
HST
The HST on Art's site is a compilation of over 3000 images of HarryTruman wearing or carrying his hat.
As a relative of the late President, it is also from the times I remember him on his "constitutionals" on Park Avenue when he stayed at The Waldorf Towers.
There are those who feel I...
#53 Royal Stetson 7 1/4
Johnnyphi=bad dude.....
Why did I bid so high? Box arrives this afternoon. Take it to my friend Besdor to open it. This way, if he cuts through the hat, he owes me another hat. If I open it myself and cut the carton too deeply, I'm the fool who destroyed the hat...
I'm with you, pdxvintagette
I too have received no response from Steve Delk. He does not respond to e-mails, phone calls, etc. It amazes me he is too busy to do business or to extend common courtesy.
There are some spectacular hatters mentioned on the Lounge who will deliver without having...
Rough, tough, fair fight
Ghost man,
Great workout and I enjoyed the fight.
I have an Art Fawcett hat I designed called Grey Ghost, and you are cordially invited to borrow this green Stetson or the Grey Ghost whenever you wish.
Much respect,

Top Sticker
Many of the vintage Borsalino and Schoble lightweights camewith a small cloth pas glued to ine inside of the crown top for this very purpose. Our very own Art Fawcett places one of these inside his Artlite felts and it is verynifty looking.
I am pretty sure one of the supply...
Plastic Liner
Marc Kitter, who makes the Adventurebilt Deluxe hats in Germany uses this liner behind the sweat band. It was the first I had ever seen.
The hat is too heavy for summer use, but in cooler weather, it is one of the finest and most comfortable hats to wear.

Worry Not
The coat has lost some hair and has a tinge of grey but I still look as youthful as ever. For those Loungers who have seen me, I'm sure you can attest to this.

Silly Question
Picture in my avatar is of course, me. It is my Bar Mitzvah portrait and I am wearing my first mink coat.
Don't be freaked out by beauty.

My new Schoble
I just received hat #39 from the auction and it is SUPER!! Johnnyphi's description and photos were spot on and I am a happy puppy.
From this experience, I await more and urge fellow Loungers to dig in.
Thanks for this great hat Johnnyphi.
