Sale ending: New Akubra Sydney size 62 = 7-3/4 at old price
Well I bought an Akubra Sydney on the last day of the noggintops sale, but I don't like the way it looks on me. I plan to send it back, but thought first I would see if anyone on the Lounge wants it at the old price. I am asking for what I paid plus actual shipping ($99.64 plus cost of shipping...- carldelo

Some new styles for 2008
Same question I have the same question about the dark teardrop, but my size is 7-3/4 -
Sources for a sports cap (non-baseball)
Look at these Here's some photos of Honus Wagner, his ball cap looks along the lines of what you want. http://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/p_wagner5.shtml A quick look turned up this retro fitted ball cap manufacturer - check out the cap for the 1896 Boston Beaneaters or the 1911 New... -
South Carolinians: A hat for Charleston in mid-May?
I'd probably pack the bucket and wear the felt on the plane. But then I have a morbid fear of showing up at an event and finding that I'm underdressed. Then if I found my felt was too hot, I'd use that as an excuse to go shopping for a more appropriate hat. I bought my nice Panama that way on a... -
Hats on liquidation - Astoria Queens NYC
No no no No I am not a modernist, aching to tear down anything old. But I've frozen my butt off in lousy seats at Shea enough to dislike it forever. Shea is a bad stadium because it was designed badly, not because it's old - it's not even that old, really. Having been to new parks in Seattle... -

Hats on liquidation - Astoria Queens NYC
yikes Wow, struck out on hats and watching the Mets lose the home-opener on the same day, what a bummer. Yet another reason to tear down Shea Stadium (not that we need another reason) -
Hats on liquidation - Astoria Queens NYC
Sorry about that Sorry about that Skyvue, I thought I saw some nice Stetsons and whatnot there, I didn't check that closely once I found there was nothing in my size, as usual. :o -
Multiple Hat terms
That's good, I like that one. A 'convoy of Open Roads" and of course A 'pack of Whippets' -
Hats on liquidation - Astoria Queens NYC
No website, no large hats This is strictly an old-school operation - there is no website listed on their business card. I forgot to mention before, there aren't any extra large hats. There was a nice brown fedora and a pork pie in size 7-1/2, but nothing to fit my 7-3/4 head. I've never managed... -
Hats on liquidation - Astoria Queens NYC
A menswear store in Astoria Queens NY is having a (real) going out of business sale. They have a hat dept. where everything is currently 50% off. There are about 50 hats, Stetsons, Stefano, etc., about 1/3 dress, 1/3 straw, 1/3 rain hats. There is also an old bench mount hat stretcher with... -

Multiple Hat terms
Yes, that's the fact of it, but not the underlying truth. I think 'a compulsion of hats' or 'an obsession of hats' is more to the point, eh? -
Multiple Hat terms
My contributions so far From Spatterdash's earlier thread, I came up with these: A council of homburgs or a mob of homburgs A fleet of boaters or a regatta of boaters Oh, and I second the 'league of bowlers', that's great! And from the animal world, my favorites are 'a charm of... -
Question for you woodworkers
Yes to poplar I used poplar extensively as finish molding in my carpentry days and it is readily available at home centers. Don't be afraid to use the cheaper stuff that is glued up from multiple small pieces - the more expensive, wider boards will tend to warp much more and the block is a... -
Photos of hatters tools
Cool tool Betty, I like that Edward Scissorhands hat sizer! Often on old tools there is an ability to calibrate them. If that little teardrop-shaped indicator can be moved, you might be able to adjust it so that it reads the proper hat size. Failing that, you could put some white tape with... -
Self-Conscious?
I noticed the coinage... ...and I like it: a St. Valentine's Day Massacre of fedoras is the cat's pajamas. I think 'a riot of pork pies' conjures a good image as well. I hadn't replied yet because I was working on your question re: the best term for a grouping of Homburgs (and it is spelled... -

Finally found a "vintage" hat...
Yup Growing up south of Seattle, my exchange was "ALpine 5", far superior to my best friend's "BAldwin 8", or at least that how I saw it. Better a tree than some dead guy. Exchanges were in use until the early 70s, although some may have been hold over of people (like my family) unwilling to... -
Finally found a "vintage" hat...
Nice lid I think you did well on that lid, it looks quite nice - I would definitely try wearing it with the back snapped up just to see how it looks. As far as photos go, I believe you need 15 posts on the Lounge before being able to put photos inline. -
Crushable fedora to use in rainy days
Go custom! See, if you get a nice custom hat, then your Fed DL will be your inexpensive lid and you can wear it without compunction, knowing you've left your very valuable custom hat at home on those blustery days. If this sounds silly, just hang around - this idea makes sense to me now that... -
ODD STETSON
Looking closer at the fifth photo, it looks like someone removed the liner, cut out the Stetson logo and glued it to the crown of the hat, another clue that it's a hatchet job. That and the fact that the chin cord bulges under the sweat band in undignified fashion. The leather tab could be... -
ODD STETSON
Could be costume piece That hat may have been modified for use in theater or film. Just a thought. And Tinman is right, us big-headed types just get more felt for our money, er, except when it comes to vintage - then you mini-domes win out.
