Haven't seen the trailer yet, just found out about it. I read that series of novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs when I was a little kid. They were great. I seem to remember that John Carter was a wounded Civil War soldier, so setting it in the early 1900s seems odd. It's been a long time, maybe...
Found this photo of my great uncle on the web. His name was Charles M. Bogert, and he was a well-respected herpetologist with a few species of geckos and gopher snakes named after him. This cool picture is of him and his governor-appointed soldier guide (with toothbrush mustache) in Nayarit...
Here's what the seller had to say when I asked about the FL photo and the hat listed:
I do not know any thing about Fedora Lounge I purchased the photo from a photo studio site none the less my compliments to the photogragher and take it as a compliment. I am not very shady!I just could not...
Mine went back to the Hattery to exchange for a Fed in Moonstone, which will get more wear. The sweatband on the Heritage was very nice, noticeably softer and better leather than the standard Campdraft. That's not just conjecture, I've worked with leather, making chaps, belts, holsters and...
No luck on eBay. Make me an offer, this one has to go to help pay for an Aero that's being made right now. Not cold enough here for two fine leather jackets. Thanks, Frank
Just keeping it real, Randooch. That's how I roll. Like I said, I'm not a Stetson hater at all. I grew up wearing Stetsons and have owned more than I can count. I will definitely be in the line to get one of the new Fedorafest Stratoliners if they offer it in my size. It's just...
I couldn't get my female to sit still long enough to take a picture with my hat on, and she shed all over it. I did find some "dames," one of whom is wearing a fedora. Frank
The only hats I own and really don't like are a Stetson Temple and a Stetson Pinnacle. Both were bargains, thankfully. The Temple is my 2nd or 3rd in that model, and I haven't kept any very long, but when something pops up in my size it's hard not to pull the trigger. Won't make that mistake...
Looks good Randooch. I've got the same hat in a size 8 that just received the car treatment yesterday. I tried leaving it out in our triple digit sun yesterday while wet, but it kept blowing off the stand and getting too close to the pool. I don't think chlorinated water will do the felt any...
I agree with others in thanking Tom for spearheading this effort. It's always exciting in this day and age when we can get a manufacturer of anything to listen to their customers and tailor-make a product for us. This is a great hat, just not for me. Mine is in the Classifieds now, as it's...
