    I've Been Absent

    I haven't been active on here for a couple of years, mostly because I stopped loading up on hats. Oh, I've bought a few baseball caps reflecting some of my passions and interests, but I've been very comfortable just wearing the fedoras I already own. Add to that the fact that I retired last...

    PSA: Hat Care Tip For The Rest Of Us

    Thanks to this forum, I have obtained a lot of information about the make, style, history and care of men's hats. I wear one every day, except for those days I don't go outdoors (which I try to do every day). I'm on the hunt for a particular color/style presently, but that's for another...

    Hat Feathers

    I like feathers in my hat band. I think ornamenting a hat with a complementary feather adds distinction and uniqueness to a hat. It also lets me see in an instant which is the left side (man's).

    Does Anyone Remember Car Coats?

    Yesterday I had a need (okay, call it a desire) to wear a coat over my attire that was longer than a jacket, but shorter than a topcoat or trench coat. I found I do not have such outerwear in my closet. In years past, there was a garment known as a "car coat." It was a coat that fell below...

    WTB: Salvador Dalí Bow tie & Cummerbund Set (Nicole Miller?)

    My memory may be playing tricks on me, which can happen as one gets older, I admit. But I swear back in the 1960's or thereabouts, fashion designer Nicole Miller produced a bow tie and cummerbund set which displayed items associated with the artist, Salvador Dalí. I have been looking for...

    I Wear A Hat Because... Rx

    I went to my dermatologist today to have him look at a crusty little bugger that appeared a month or so ago on my right ear, and which causes me some discomfort when I touch or rub it. With a hat, with a pillow, etc. It turns out it's a result of the sun. It's not pre-cancerous or anything to...

    What's The Story on Wilsons Leather?

    The general opinion here seems to be rather dismissive of Wilsons Leather. Why? I own three and they've all been terrific. Removable Thinsulate® linings, supple, and they fit me well. I recently purchased an Aero A-2 for the cost of three Wilsons jackets, and it has no removable lining, no...

    WTB: Navy Blue Stingy Brim (up to 2-1/2") in 7-1/4LO

    I'm not looking for a collector hat, but something I can wear just about every day. I wear a lot of jeans and running shoes (I work at a running store, after all), so it should adapt to the casual look. For the record, I have a navy pork pie, and get a lot of compliments on it. I'd just like...

    Help Me Find a Leather Jacket by Color

    Years ago, and one size smaller, I had a leather waist-length jacket that was a reddish-brown color. It wasn't brown and it wasn't burgundy and it wasn't cordovan. The problem I have is naming the color. If I knew the color name, I could probably search for it. As it is, I don't have a clue...

    Quality Online Hat Vendors

    Over the past few days I've been scouring the web for purveyors of quality men's hats. I always seem to find villagehatshop.com, hats.com and hatsinthebelfry.com. Are there others? Perhaps we can post our finds here. I'd not include the "superstores" (e.g., Amazon, Overstock, Etsy, eBay...
