Wishlists are awful. Loungers like Bowen, Alan, and Steven always post new hats that I NEED (not want, need!). If i were to make a list. ..
True vintage cream linen cap,
1930s Stetson Standard Quality boater
Stetson Flagship like the one Dana Andrews wears in the ad,
Borsalino Nutria Quality...
Thank you! I concur, the brim binding on both hats is quite special.
Ya know, i thought the distinct bash looked familiar. Glad i could give another lounger business. I might even try for another lid from him, his selection has some grails!
No kidding! Might quit for a while after this...
Two ebay victories tonight! First one's a Mallory Ten. The color combination is something I've been seeking for quite some time. I'll let Willow Green's pics speak for themselves.
Looking fresh, Justin! Sick hat too, need me a gray fedora sometime soon. Any particular occasion that called for this getup? Either way, loungers love a sharp dresser!
I think, with the matching tie/pocket square, and the hat's combination with the suit, the whole fit is a little monochromatic. Additionally, the black suit with a gray hat look is a bit formal, may be rather intimidating. If i'm wearing black, usually it's a sports coat with contrasting...
While it is an uncommon style for the time, just because few people sported the ones with back bows, doesn't mean they were nonexistent. I don't think it's hard to believe the original owner just opted for a less usual style. The receipt and tag are smoking guns, the hat is assuredly from the...
Thanks a lot, Red. I was appalled to find this on the 'Bay, attracting seemingly no interest.
This is what I could find. Only the size and block type are visible on the manufacturer's tag, rest appears to be blocked by some strip of tape (?)
Caught a fat whiff of that vintage leather scent...
Might as well submit my Knox here. My very first vintage hat, a dated 1/18/46 Knox Premiere, sold at the Stix Baer & Fuller Shop. The Stix Baer & Fuller was a store chain that operated in St. Louis from 1892 to 1984.
With only a 2'' brim, this hat isn't really my type. Not as cool as I...
Hey guys,
As the vintage the Lounge typically prizes is very old and may be quite delicate, I was wondering if anyone has had any embarrassing or awful experiences with wearing or collecting vintage. I haven't suffered too much, other than when I was doing a photoshoot with an actor, and my...
Fascinating history on the hat, and the ad looks awesome! I have to say, the company's crest looks far ahead of its time, nothing I would expect from a hat of this era.
Thanks, Red. I have to agree, this Strat is awesome and gave me an open mind for the western-style fedora. I'm pondering the purchase of a vintage Mallory XV right now. A while ago, I wouldn't touch these thin-ribbon, light colored hats with a ten foot pole.
Thank you Bowen, this means a lot...
