    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    I had watched the making of this new series the other day. It looks rather interesting. Based in 1960 at an ad agency. It gives a glimpse into corporate advertising with all of it's dirty little dealings. http://media.amctv.com/originals/madmen/?s_cid=google1 "Mad Men is AMC’s provocative...

    Dress like a Swell!!! (NEW 'Dressed to the Nines' Gents reading list).

    I have a couple of the books on the list and they've been most helpful. Thanks for the list Paddy!:eusa_clap Cheers! Dan

    white hats

    Wow! That Mallory is fantastic looking. I'd start with the Scouts dark hat cleaner first for sure. It should produce decent results. I think that hat would look great with an ice cream suit. Either that or a striped seersucker suit.:eusa_clap Cheers! Dan

    New hat opinions

    Hey, no problem Ken! Nick: I've taken mine hiking in Yosemite, trekking through the city in sun, rain & snow. It has weathered the elements perfectly. Lets hear from the other Camptown owners out there. I know there are a few others on the Lounge here that own one of Kens hats. Cheers...

    The Black Hat Brigade

    I rather like the black Dobb I got a little while back. It happens to look great with my brown tweed J. Peterman jacket. It makes for a fairly European look, something alpine. The hat itself has sort of a bluish hue to it. It definitely dresses up any outfit. Cheers! Dan

    HELP: Limp brim on Milan straw

    Ooh, that's a bummer!:( It appears that the straw is similar to my Peter Bros. Indy Straw. If that is the case water is a huge enemy of that because of the lacquer that is used to stiffen the hat. I had used a little steam to reshape mine and I do mean little. It didn't take much to soften...

    A new one from Art

    Well a belated Happy Birthday Weegee! Wow! That is one nice looking porkpie hat!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap Once again Art has done a fabulous job! I dig on the ribbon treatment around the bow. Very slick! It coordinates perfectly with that outfit as well. Congratulations to you and a job well done...

    Your opinion

    I have to add my voice to the higher crown choir. It would help balance the width of the brim. Also, I have to agree with Feltfan on the C crown, it tapers the crown and usually makes ones head look smaller since the balance is not there with the brim. Now I like the tan hat. The ribbon and the...

    New Art Fawcett fedora at 'A Suitable Wardrobe'

    A fantastic looking lid. And good advice to anyone who is afraid to shape their own hat.:) Cheers! Dan

    What's the difference?

    Also, Camptown Hats gives you full instructions so you shouldn't have a problem with the shaping of a new open crowned lid. Then you cand find your own method along the way. If you look at the old films and photos of the 30's, 40's & 50's the shape of their hats are not factory crisp but sort of...

    Going for a Gatsby/Newsboy cap...

    Another option for a newsboy cap may be over at Hat People. They even offer a Sports Cap to boot. He appears to not only make them in the wide & flat Big Apple size but a more diminutive close to the skull model can be had as well, with just about every other sizing in between, and a variety of...

    New hat opinions

    Well, like I've said before I really like the Camptown Hat offerings. It's a wonderful felt that is a 50/50 beaver/rabbit blend. The only downturn is that Ken only offers two models currently. The 1936 Field Master and the 1945 Metropolitan. The felt finish is nice and soft to the touch and...

    New hat opinions

    You could also take a look at Camptown Hats. A good quality hat at a fair price. Cheers! Dan
  17. DanielJones

    What's the difference?

    If you want better quality for the same price, talk to Ken over at Camptown Hats. http://www.camptownhats.com/products.asp His "1936 Fieldmaster" is a decent Indy hat. He also may still be honoring the discount for Fedora Lounge members as well. I've had one for a while and it wears like...

    Some one at Bailey is a Dracula fan.

    I don't think Dracula would rise to the occassion for that hat.:p That name came from "Son of Dracula" (1943). I had watched it on TCM about two weeks ago on a late Saturday night. Here is the description of the film from IMDB. "Count Alucard finds his way from Budapest to the swamps of the...

    If you only had one old rifle, which?

    I had built a Lancaster Rifle from a kit a while back similar to this one and it is one of my favorite shooters. Not overly practical, but a load of fun at the shooting range. I had also built a Brown Bess Musket kit as well and it makes a nice trap gun. And of you load a tightly patched...

    After a grey Bogie'ish Fedora...

    Paddy: Try Ken over at Camptown Hats. http://www.camptownhats.com/products.asp He has one that is reasonably prices called the Model 1945 Metropolitan. He ships them open crowned. Here is his description. The basic dimensions are similar to the Fieldmaster with a 5.75 inch crown but a...
