FS : '50s DUNLAP WESTLITE 7 ⅛ - Open Road style Fedora
I'm selling this lovely vintage fedora for USD $250 + shipping cost, the same price I bought it for a few years ago, before I knew my real hat size. I never wore it except to try it on, it's been sitting lonely and unused in a Knox box it came in since then. It's a true-to-size 7⅛ regular...- One Drop

Western, anyone?
I wonder sometimes if people didn't adjust their hats for the posed photos, tipping them back to expose their faces better. I have noticed that different eras and regions do tend to show different ways of men wearing their hats, I'm sure fashions changed regularly through the years and from... -
Western, anyone?
Wasn't the BOP made with a 4" brim and crown ? These sure look like them in the photo - many of the photos I've seen from this era have a majority of the men sporting similar hats, the Boss of the Plains apparently dominated at least until the mid 1880s. -
FS: Burgus Plus LS chambray work shirt; Burgus Plus basque striped shirt
Much respect to member chemprofjspencer, from who I bought the Burgus chambray shirt. The transaction was a pleasure, great communication, fast shipping, and very nicely packaged with the original tags included. For anyone interested, I own a few similar blue Chambray shirts and this one...- One Drop

Vintage Lacoste polo appreciation and trying to date them by labels
The old ones wore to a silky, thin, and luxuriously soft texture before beginning to fall apart, in France you'd see people wearing them for gardening and chores when they reached this point, they's still get a few more years wear out of them. Now buttons fall off, they rip at stress points, the...- One Drop

Pean to Lee denim and modern repros
Their jeans are very flattering if you are slim or have a good physique, I bought a pair of dead-stock 13MWZ from the '70s, I really like the Cowboy Cut, and they are extremely hard wearing, far more so than Levis and Lees. No crazy fades or wear, they are just a very well made jean that sells...- One Drop

Regular Oval vs Long Oval
I've pulled the Akubra hats I've bought new into LO shape, over my knee, gently but firmly. Saves the time it takes for them to eventually conform. I'll adjust the brim afterwards if needed. My Borsalinos are soft and conform automatically, the brims tend to very slightly curl upwards due to... -

Beautiful boots, GLWS. That colour is great, though it doesn't resemble Colour 8 on my monitor, are they sun faded ?- One Drop

Western, anyone?
Yes, some good tunes, I love the threads on many of the performers of that era. I have a few exceptional vintage western shirts I picked up in the '70s, including a very fine copper coloured satin rayon MWG Johnny West one with a cream yoke and some very fine embroidery, a Canadian brand... -

THE SUNBODY ASSOCIATION
I took a few snaps of the hat last weekend, none came out very well, but you can get an idea of what the hat looks like. It's the 4" brim Guatemalan palm, medium crown, with eyelets. It was shaped in a pretty ugly Cattleman crease, I didn't order an open crown model because of the attendant... -
THE SUNBODY ASSOCIATION
I changed mine to LO in a matter of seconds, you just have to pull it over your knee or use your hands to stretch it a bit after soaking it, it takes very little pressure and will dry into and hold that shape. They are easy to shape and reshape, when drying after a short wetting they become... -

I'm an hour's drive away, I go once in a while for a day's ski or to visit friends, It's an intense place ! -
THE SUNBODY ASSOCIATION
I was wondering about your post, I think you might have mixed me up with someone else ? Or perhaps I misspoke, somehow ? In any case, I live in the Swiss Alps, in the French speaking region bordering Italy and France, in a ski town. -
THE SUNBODY ASSOCIATION
I live at 5 000', and regularly hike up to 10 000'. The weather is usually extremely changeable, but fortunately there is rarely high humidity nor high winds, save for occasionally severe storms. It can get real cold and real hot but we tend to dress appropriately as it's easy to get in a lot of... -

THE SUNBODY ASSOCIATION
UPDATE : I spoke too soon regarding my Sunbody and long hikes on hot days. We've finally had some real hot weather here, I gave the straw another chance and took it out on a few hours walk with my dog high up the mountain, knowing there'd be a lot of spots to wet the hat and the dog, down in... -
Akubra Overload
Thanks ! That's a beauty, looks perfect. I love a tight pinch like that, gives so much character to the hat. Reminds me to tighten up the pinch a bit on mine next time it gets soaked. -
Akubra Overload
Great hats, real pity they are discontinued. Heres what a pinch looks like, coming in from the rain. The colour has faded a bit since new but is not as light as it appears in these photos. -
The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
I have the identical hat, at least as far as I can tell from the colour in the photo. Same liner and dimensions, also a very soft felt, with a beautiful depth of colour in less bright lights. It's being slightly stiffened and cleaned and some stitching being fixed on the band, I'll post some... -
THE SUNBODY ASSOCIATION
The Moonstone Bushman and an older dark tan Snowy River I bought used from a fellow Lounger. Sometimes I'll even take the Sombrero for a change, but it looks weird on me with shorts and a light shirt, just too much hat. I pull the liners from all of my Akubras that have one, this has a huge...
