    They caught me

    I was shopping with a friend at the mall and got pulled aside for a photo... I'm a bit shabby, yet what do you think? Should I win? http://westfield.com/santaanita/specialoffers/FallStyleHunter.html

    Panama dress hats in movies

    A Room with a View. He wears two of these in the movie, both Optimo style with the crown pushed down the same way. One straight white with a cracking crease at the front and the other in this natural color. Raiders of the Lost Ark And a good shot of our old buddy Belloq...

    Cigarette ads

    Controversial now, yet the choice of doctors and the president then. They had some of the largest advertising budgets in the world, and they had an addicted clientele which had a hard time figuring out which brand was better.

    Nutria felt in the modern day

    So aside from Optimo, has any hatter used Nutria in their hats in recent days? My graphite gray light weight has been around the world with me and rolled, beaten, crushed, soaked and... well abused since 2004 and it may have shrunk in the crown a bit, yet it's still holding up extremely well...

    The modern cowboy hat

    Is it me, or is the style just mind numbingly boring? Historically Cowboy hats had lots of character... look at all those old west pictures. The style carried into the movies with the telescoped crowns and wide bound brims pencil curls and Gus creases and every look under the sun imaginable...

    Hat liners in movies

    I just want pics of hats from movies... and shots of their liners. Just so we have an odd reference of something else obscure on this board. Biltmore Rosellini in The Untouchables. [photo burgled from MK]

    Show us your droopers and wobbly brims

    Yours, or ones from the past (preferably yours). Mine are all too... unwobbled for a good looking wobbly hat. Even my really old beat up ones. And I thought I abused hats. I think the narrow binding ads to this hats... wobble. If it were wider, the binding would have kept it a little more...

    The combination leather heel (suicide heels)

    I was walking around Disneyland on a vigorously raining day while wearing my Shell Cordovan Longwings with their leather souls and combination leather heel. BAD IDEA! Like walking on ice. I literally skated through a few of the shops while hoping to find traction inside. If I were to lift a...

    Wider toe shoes

    I'm really not digging all these trip toes shoes on the market today. I bought my WWII Buzz Rickson shoes because of the toe room. Seams like a lot of the higher end shoes are going for that aesthetic of a long toe and tight space while those like me with the broad toe are being left in the...

    Stetson's Raider II

    They've had the Temple for years, now they have a hat that's more like the licensed version of the Indiana Jones hat that Dorfman Pacific makes. It's a wooly. The Raider II (When did they have a Raider I?)

    Dress for style blog

    Thought this needed a good thread. It's pretty damn good, and showcases shops from around the world. Best of all it's done in short vids. Check it out. Kind of like that sartorially knowledgeable dad you never had showcasing his knowledge to you. Check out some of the shoe polishing and hat...

    Modern fur felt Bowlers

    I know Lock and Herbert Johnson do a pretty fair job, Yet the edge isn't quite to what it was in the 60s 50s 40s or 30s I have vintage yet shirk the modern versions since the crowns never seam to be right to me. Often more tapered or much lower than any of the vintage ones I find. I'd like to...

    Hey UK! Where do you buy your hats?

    I've been to Herbert Johnson and Lock Hatters. In France I stopped by Gelot and a couple other's I don't recall at the moment, yet that's across the way and not in the UK. So UK members out there... Where have you bought your hats and why did you choose those places? I know it's a lot easier...

    Ladies adventure hats

    I like that a lady can still be ladylike in pouring rain with a waxed cotton rose on her hat. http://www.saddler.co.uk/shop.html?cr=22&pr=3101&pdesc=barbour_ladies_waxed_cotton_hat_with_rose
