Eric,
Thanks for sending over the dimensions and your insight into Winchester felts.
I just browsed Art's website, and the color choices make the decision process even more...daunting. I'm aiming to reproduce a 40s Whippet (without the vintage price tag) in the color scheme below.
I was...
50's Strat.
I'm almost exclusively a brims-up guy, but this one begs for a traditional treatment.
The lid is an eBay find that just showed up today. Liner and band have been replaced (sorry purists), but the felt is in pristine condition. It's features heavy, heavy grey undertones for a...
Moon, how did you correspond with Michael? Via Etsy? He doesn't seem to have a website or contact info listed elsewhere.
I'm eyeing a Whippet treatment with vintage dimensions in the Silvermist color. Yum.
Kona, I've seen a bunch of your lids since joining The Lounge, and they always have my favorite brim treatment: perfectly uniform, not quite flat with a very subtle flange, etc. Mind sharing your secret(s) with us mere mortals?
Posting this here because I'm far to lazy to dig around previous posts, and the pic was taken at a philanthropic event including members from the Hollywood Vampires. So, technically this is a post about a "musician."
Depp has been sporting this lid throughout 2016, and it seems to be the new...
The only lid I don't have in my rotation is black, and I'm partial to vintage ORs/Strats, so...I'm considering the black Ellum. Hell, they accept returns if it ends up a bust.
For what it's worth, the flatter brim that TheDane points out is actually a plus for me — it helps to make a Strat's...
Anyone get their paws on one of these yet?

The Ellum appears to be a rebadged Stratoliner in beaver. I'm digging the finish (at least what's shown in the pics).
Thanks Fruno.
I keep trying to give Stetson the benefit of the doubt, but similar stories keep arising for anything not off the shelf. My main motivation for a lid these days is a 6" crown (I'm tall, anything less looks "dainty"), which instantly limits my (our) options with Stetson. I'm not...
Moon, you've hinted at an affinity for JJ Hat Co in the past — my favorite hat hut — but they've been hesitant to place any custom orders from Stetson for me in the past. For example, they had me order a Racine a few months back directly from Stetson, have it shipped to my place, then across...
Fruno, thanks!
I have to have it. You've officially reached bad influence status, the highest compliment I can give on this forum. Will reach out to DelMonico in the upcoming week or two.
