What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Thanks Bob! However, I returned to the original block. The brim was a bit too wide for it be a porker...Proportions seemed to be off kilter to me. :( -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Tops shelf showings over the past few days! A less humid in Jersey ta'day to sport a Wormser that fits my noggin in a rare flea market find. My heart leaped up! Transformed this one into a porker. -

What hat are you waiting for today?
Saying I'm psyched about this Mayser on its way from Vienna is an understatement! And in my noggin size of 7 1/2? The color is a Granite gray. In the words of Carly Simon, "Anticipation is making me wait..." -

Sisol Straw question: As a scholar of hat collecting and shaping, etc., I purchased a (Borsalino) Sisol (Sisal) straw and was considering reshaping the crown. Is that doable without damaging the hat? I know steam works wonders (if used correctly, of course) on felt pieces. But what about straw... -

Royal Stetson Fedora turned Porkpie...Been getting in my practice of learning to reshape crowns using very little resources except distilled water, steam, and my noggin! -
Cowboy Boots
Had a pair! Fortunately, there ran too small! Never considered them again. Now I know why...That still small voice! Was checking on a pair of Rios De Mercedes...Thoughts? I know earlier Lamas, DPs, Naconas, etc. are good. However, as I become familiar with names and some of their styles...- NewJack

Cowboy Boots
Thanks!! Interesting about the skins lean more toward 'peeling' as opposed to simply being scratched or scuffed. I notices a pair that did exactly as you mentioned! No matter how careful I know I can be, there's always that one time...Yet they are lightweight and soft. I learned something...- NewJack

Cowboy Boots

Cowboy Boots
Hey Hurricane! Thanks so much! I couldn't tell wither. But the info you share is great to know! From my limited understanding, I look at the shaft of a boot (flat top) to help with gathering information. and from what I've noticed with most Spanish boots, the tops are flat.- NewJack

Cowboy Boots
Been seeing some fine vintage boots in this thread which has revived my illumination of quality and vintage Wester/Cowboy boots. It's bad enough to become a novice to intermediate fedora collector. But to now becoming a scholar among the boot aficionados in this thread is...well...humbling to...- NewJack

Shuddle Bro 3x size 7 1/2
If I may add, unfortunately for me, many of the sizes available simply don't fit my noggin. I would love to give a lounge member preference over eBay's often overpricing (IMHO). When my money tree is has its share of leaves, The Lounge is the first place I check.- NewJack

alanfgag impressed me with a black vintage Western piece he sported with a pencil curled brim. One similar to it was a must have! :) I found my own. Resistol 3X with pencil curl to at least 'imitate' (for I'll never duplicate) his presentation! -
