    Hat cocking and Shaping

    similar When I received my Chatham I was worried because it was not symmetrical - one side of the pinch was higher. Once it's on my head, my usual tilt to the right completely masks the difference, so I haven't bothered to change it. You can see that the crown is higher on the bow side in this...

    Article - Dapper detectives

    From today's NY Times, an article about the haberdashery needs of detectives in the big apple. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/04/nyregion/04detectives.html There's a very nice photo from 1936 of Lucky Luciano being arrested - some excellent lids there.

    Chatham by Stetson

    Hey Mike - I've told quite a few people about the Stetson Retro straw, which is proportioned like the Chatham, and the price is definitely right. I am sad to say I can't buy one as it doesn't come in XXL. It's worth a look as a starter straw until you decide on a really good one...

    No Front Pinch

    I definitely agree, and wonder why it's so automatic. Maybe the pinch is evidence of someone who puts on and takes off a hat by grabbing it by the crown, without much care (as we all know we're not supposed to do). Lack of pinch puts me in mind of someone with gloves on who is careful to put on...

    Fez

    The real McCoy? These look pretty nice, may or may not be what you're looking for. They're expensive, anyway, and come from a reputable source.... http://www.lockhatters.co.uk/Smoking_Caps__amp__Fez-c32.aspx

    Chatham by Stetson

    Hey Gene - that's a nice job re-bashing the Chatham. I like a flatter brim myself, it's good to know it works so well. The diamond looks nice and vintage too - maybe I'll try a pentagonal bash in mine someday....

    Chatham by Stetson

    Chatham in sage, purchased around Christmas, sorry no pictures on my head: http://s97.photobucket.com/albums/l234/carldelo/Misc%20hats/?action=view&current=Hatshow023.jpg http://s97.photobucket.com/albums/l234/carldelo/Misc%20hats/?action=view&current=Hatshow026.jpg...

    Has this ever happened to you? Or do I need a MRI?

    Was your vision affected? Opthalmic migraines have similar symptoms with tunnel vision, no pain, nothing really dangerous happening, but it takes a battery of tests to rule out the scarier stuff - good luck....

    I pledge that as my own anecdotal testing of 2 modern Stetsons goes forward, I will report any flagrant quality issues - now bring on the rain....

    That's a "bright" idea

    I don't know why I ask dumb questions like that - 30 seconds with google turned it up: http://www.hatcountry.com/product_info.php?products_id=3944&productid=3944 That's a lot of scratch for a gimmick hat, although I suppose if you drove a pedicab at night in NYC it would be worth it.

    Chatham by Stetson

    Spellflower, it appears that I'm following you around the threads - try not to get paranoid!...:p Anyway, I really like my Chatham and have had good luck with it so far. I'm surprised the crown on yours could pop up - mine was quite stiff when I received it, but is slowly but surely...

    In praise of newer Stetson

    My Chatham is in good shape so far (since Christmas) and I don't baby it in any way. The brim is soft and pliable, stays where I put it and the crown is softening up nicely. I think the actual number of people complaining about specific problems with Stetsons on the Lounge seems low, but the...

    Current coupon codes

    BTW, I post the codes because I receive them automatically and I want Loungers to have all advantages in their shopping. Having said that, I bought my last hat in person at Bencraft, and I much prefer the process to online purchasing. I wound up buying a hat I hadn't considered when viewing...

    Some questions about how to wear

    Hey Taggert - I keep recommending this hat to people, and can't actually get one for myself as my head is too big. But I've read nice things about this hat elsewhere on the lounge as being a good quality fur felt fedora at a low price: http://www.villagehatshop.com/jaxon_bogart_lrg.html...
