A reposting of this Churchill Western Conversion. It came to me by way of alan. I blocked it up from a size 7 to a 7 1/4 LO. I gave it a dimensional brim that's 2 3/4 front and back and 2 5/8 on the sides. It sports a tall straight crown with a Center Dent and a Burgundy 1 1/2 ribbon and bow...
It's been forever since Brad's been on the Lounge, 'The Hatted Professor'. Anything we needed to know about hats, he was the guy to go to. Tell him to get back here!
Dana Andrews was another classic film noir actor who had style and could wear a hat well:
"Where the Sidewalk Ends", 1950.
"Laura", 1944
"Fallen Angel", 1945
Pictures not in particular order
I remember that one. Good movie! I watch film noirs all the time. YouTube has a ton of them to watch. Two of my favorite film noir movies would be 'Murder My Sweet' with Dick Powell and 'Out of the Past' with Robert Mitchum. Both Powell and Mitchum are two of my favorite film noir actors. You...
Wearing my 1930s No. 1 Stetson Quality conversion. It started out as a way too small 6 3/4 Western. I blocked it up to a 7 1/4 Lo to fit me. Somewhere along the line somebody poked two holes in the brim, one on each side, probably for a stampede cord. With the size up the holes moved up on the...
I finally finished up my Dobbs Western conversion for TAR Tuesday. This one was sent to me by a generous Lounger friend. This is another dimensional brim cut. 2 3/4 front to back, 2 5/8 on the sides and flanged on a #19 brim flange for a sleeker profile. Following Rusty's suggestion, @RBH, I...
Hmmm.... interesting speculation, but I agree with you that I don't think it's the hat that he wore in the "Liberty Valance" movie. The taller crown, the creasing, it just doesn't look right to me. On the other hand I'm not saying it isn't a hat that John Wayne wore. But, just a thought here. If...
A reposting of this very clean Dobbs 15 Homburg from a generous Lounger friend. It's tagged a 7 1/2 but seems to fit more like a 7 3/8. I'm a 7 1/4 and this hat fits me good from front to back, a little roomy on the sides. Some folded up pieces of paper towels on the sides under the sweat and...
