    Would love to but that thread is not showing up when I search for it...? Happy to message details direct. I must say that the search engine on TFL leaves something to be desired in general. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Yep, you were right! It was worth it, very nice felt and just different enough from the "pure" Borsa to feel like I have 2 now. Understand that I am trying to exercise impulse control and not empty my bank account! Why did I try to deny your wisdom hombre...[emoji106]!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Borrow the plane captain's hat until your next flight so that at least you are hatted. It's the *least* they could do [emoji16]. Have a safe flight!

    Post New Hats Here!

    NOS Borsalino sub-brand "Linea Augusta". Light grey 5" to the pinch, 2-3/8" brim, 1-3/4 black ribbon. Super soft, loovvvely felt, another "crease and go, no steam". It is a glued label, but seller says from late 80's. We had some comm challenge ultimately resolved on the meaning of "glued...

    Strange Stratoliner

    I can't work out multiquote so also responding to @moontheloon. This is a FrankenStrat I think. The brim has definitely been cut which is a shame as the felt is not so bad, not great. The brim is 2.25mm / 0.08" thick using a micrometer. It is possible that the liner and sweat were merged to...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    You got me thinking and I dug out this somewhat squished 1950's Indochina French army bush hat.

    Strange Stratoliner

    Yes, the more I look at it, the more it seems to be a FrankenStrat. The colour contrast is not so bad, so will play and see how I feel.

    Strange Stratoliner

    I threw a bid on this as I was literally falling asleep. I woke up in the morning thinking "what? I bought something in my sleep?" In any event, this was waiting for me when I got home and rather than post in "new hats", this seemed a more appropriate thread. It is sage green with a little...

    Hawaiian shirts and fedoras

    Thank you kindly. This is one of my favourite threads as it combines two of the finer things in life, aloha shirts and vintage fedoras [emoji41]. You all are sartorial inspirations for me.

    Is this different from a Campdraft? It looks similar but not? Very nice either way.

    Is that a French army bush hat?

    Where's my hat . . . ?

    Ask a question, get an answer

    One of the UK's greatest inventions and contribution to hat wearers was the electric kettle. A little clean water and just keep flicking the switch for as much steam as you need.

    "Hats on a Stick ®"

    Thank you kindly. There is a replica Fokker and Sopwith triplane at my airfield (all grass) which has been in continuous operation since 1917 I think. When I went to preflight the Luscombe yesterday, we stumbled on the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Spitfire and Hurricane preparing for a...

    "Hats on a Stick ®"

    The Luscombe was first designed in 1937 and I think entered production the same year. Ultimately, about 5,800 were manufactured until production ceased in 1960. I think what kept them flying was that they were used by the Civilian Pilots Training Programme started in 1940 in anticipation of...

    Stingy brim Dobbs 7-1/8 black fedora

    Just in case someone in Europe wants a stingy brim (you can easily find this in the US, hence the Europe focus but I am open !). I like it, but it is part of my cunning plan to convince my wife that some hats go out (1 out, 2 in...:))...
