    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I don't think it's all that atypical. The majority of guys that I see out and about wearing felt hats (which aren't many) are wearing an outback-style hat or some derivation thereof, with a fedora shape, wide brim and thin leather band. They're much more common than dress fedoras, at least in...

    ***SOLD*** Ponte Rialto Italian boater 7 5/8

    For sale I have a very nice Italian-made boater made by Ponte Rialto Venice. This is a top-quality boater with thick, stiff, heavy woven straw, the way they're supposed to be made. It has a "floating" Bon-Ton-Ivy-type sweatband that makes the hat comfortable to wear and gives it a little...

    ***SOLD*** PanamaBob Cuenca Optimo 7 5/8-7 3/4

    Here is a PanamaBob Cuenca Panama hat in the Optimo style. I bought it from a fellow Lounger earlier this year who had bought it from PanamaBob and then decided that he didn't want it. It came with a very generic hatband with no ribbon, so I added a pleated puggaree, which drastically improved...

    I completely agree with BanjoMerlin that you should get a Campdraft. ;) :D

    It is nice looking, but that's a whole lotta hat.

    Nice photo! I'll have me one of those soon (the Nostalgia, not the dog--already got two of those). How are you liking it?

    I'm sure that's why Lefty brought it up. I haven't seen It Might Get Loud (I also can't stand U2, although I don't have anything against The Edge), but I've seen Under Great White Norther Lights, and it's good.

    Probably not very easy because the crease is blocked into the hat at the factory and modern Open Roads are very stiff. If you want a fedora crease it would be much easier to get a Campdraft and shape it the way you want it.

    Essentially. The modern Open Roads are blocked with a cattleman's crease, whereas the Campdraft is an open crown hat that you shape yourself.

    I saw them live just as they were starting to break big (small to medium venue, but packed) back around '00 or '01. While they were setting up before the show started, he came down from the stage and walked through the crowd to go back to the bar to get a beer. He brushed by me as he went...

    Ah, that's good to know. Thanks!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    It's kind of a hipster thing to say, "Oh, I was into them back before they were famous" but the fact is that I started listening to them back when their first album came out. I was pretty shocked that they made it as big as they did because the stuff I like doesn't usually register in the...

    Stetson "Nostalgia"? (now with pics)

    You bet I will. The only thing I'm worried about is that it's from the Outlet, which means it's probably a factory second, so I hope there are no major quality control issues. I'm also a little worried about tapering, but B.J.'s seems to be OK. I don't plan on wearing it in heavy rain anyway...

    Stetson "Nostalgia"? (now with pics)

    After seeing photos I really took a liking to the Nostalgia in Caribou, so I broke down today and called the Hatco Outlet in Garland to see if they had one in 7 3/4, and they did. Only $99.95, much better than the usual $150-$170 price tag, so I pulled the trigger. The lady who took my order...

    Well, red and black is one of the White Stripes' motifs, although that has nothing to do with my shirt; I just like the color combination. Are you sure you posted the right photo, though? His hat is black.
