    Thank You

    I am so much the richer (and just a little bit poorer) for all the knowledge shared here. Thank you for the kind referrals you've sent by PM to auctions I would have missed. Thanks also to the many long time members who continue to wade through the waters here to welcome and inform new folks...

    *reduced* The Giorgio 100

    This is not Armani, but the work of Fred Hayman and his famous boutique Giorgio Beverly Hills. I've never seen another. I am guessing that this hat is from the 1970s, prior to the launch of the fragrance that made Giorgio an international landmark. On the back of the sweatband is the name Haupt...

    *SOLD* 1940s Royal Stetson DeLuxe derby

    Allie-Maillard Conformateur

    There are several threads dedicated to the conformateur on the Fedora Lounge, but most are old and populated with broken links. I've started this new thread and post below a few "before" pictures of the conformateur I purchased recently on ebay. A couple of the ebony fingers are broken and the...

    *SOLD* Beautiful 1940s Barrister Fedora

    I've only seen one other Barrister mentioned on the Lounge. Who was Barrister?... I don't know, but they made (or had made for them) a very fine fedora. This is marked size 7 and it's a generous 7... there is plenty of room for my 22 1/8" head and perhaps a bit more. The felt is lovely and...

    The Bounty of the Costume Shop

    Yesterday I had a chance to do something I've wanted to do for a long time. I met my wife for lunch at her office in the costume shop and spent a little while looking through the hat collection in the wardrobe archives. A costume shop hat cabinet is not for the faint of heart. It resembles...

    Stetson 25/ 1970s minty hat

    This Stetson 25 shows no evidence of having been worn. It comes with the original belted Stetson box. Marked 7 1/8 this hat is a generous fit on me. I would say it would fit a small 7 1/4 head too. There is a faint mark, 1/4" x 3/4" at the edge of the brim that is lighter than the...

    Churchill Beaver 100 Vicuna

    This Churchill western was sold through Neiman-Marcus in the 1950's. I came across this hat shortly after it was listed with a BIN option. It arrived last week and I had a chance to take some photos today. The felt quality is quite extraordinary. I was reminded of JTL's post for his Dobbs 100...

    The Imperial Stetson/ 1940

    I've posted this hat in its own thread as there seem to be very few examples of an Imperial Stetson of this age. The owner of this hat died in 1943 and though it has been kept in superb condition by the family, it clearly was worn by the owner. Late 30's or early 40"s?... it has some elements...
