    Lee One Hundred, other hats finally being listed...

    My eyes are wide closed Hurts seeing so many hats and almost none are my size! I got my one eye open on one and like others here I'm waiting to see how high they go. One wish is that folks would give us Fedora Loungers first shot at the treasures. Great hats, and good luck.

    New "rain proof" Borsalino - questions and pictures.

    Rain proof hat I always wanted a rain proof fedora but in my experience the only way to get a fedora rain proof is to put a plastic bag over your hat, not very asthetically appealing. Some hats may be pressure treated in manufacture with some chemical like silicone but even then the hat will...

    My Hats

    Hey, with those welding glasses the only thing left for the ensemble is to wrap your face and go as the invisible man!! But I don't know, you guys, I guess I've got attention deficit as I can't seem to mix and match anything so my wardrobe is a melange of styles like a caesar salad, and then I...

    New Dobbs 20 from Photobyalan

    Dobbs 20, king of the stingy brims That's one fine Dobbs 20 you got there! I stumbled onto mine accidentally on Ebay, not really knowing what it was until it arrived. Mine's a cholcolate brown with a very dark brown or black ribbon band. It arrived in almost new condition and is quite thin...

    Felt hat basics

    Hat Size question There is a vintage Borsalino on EBay right now with the size listed as: 5-1/2. Do any of you know if the old Borsalino hats were sized the standard American way or was some other system used back then? Otherwise, this is a real small hat....Thanks!

    PHISHING SCAM--READ ALL ABOUT IT!!!!

    I received an official looking email from PAYPAL stating I had purchased something from ebay. Obviously, I had not purchased that particular item. The email stated that if the purchase was in error I could connect to a certain link where I was asked to LOG IN TO PAYPAL, which I did, then the new...

    Panamas

    Hat weaving article Thought I would pass this on. Description of how one small artisan makes "Panama" hats. And the price seems extraordinarily reasonable. http://cgi.ebay.com/Authentic-Panama-Hat-from-Montecristi-Ecuador_W0QQitemZ8292158597QQihZ020QQcategoryZ52369QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    Favorite everyday watch

    Classic watch style I wear a Stowa Antea which uses the reliable eta: 2428-2, 25 jewel automatic movement. I like the ART DECO, Bauhaus simplicity of design. Last year the Antea won the "International watch Award" ("Goldene Unruhe 2005") in the biggest German watch contest. (in the categorie up...

    Linen, Egyptian cotton, silk I have a couple of personal favorites for summer. First is a Hawaiin style shirt that is a couple of sizes too large. This is the Hawaiian style. I wear a large so in Hawaiian shirts I get xtra or xtra, xtra large. Very cool shirts with patterns and styles to fit...

    Source for vintage/vintage-esque journals

    Notebooks A good stationary store should have dozens of types of notebooks in different sizes. I have one which is 3" X 4", all the way up to a very large journal I use at home which is 12" X 16". These are all in the range of two to fifteen dollars. Also, if there is a chinatown near you...

    I got it from Edward Bay

    Leather soled shoes Last time I wore leather soled shoes on the street I nearly slid down a flight of stairs. I know they're indispensable for dancing, but unfortunately I am not much of a dancer. No threats to Fred Astaire clones from me.

    Panamas

    There's a little town in Mexico, I think, called BACALL and they are famous for their woven hats. They have to weave them in caves so the straw does not dry out and so stays bendable. The grades for the hats are based on the fineness of the weave. Some of the best hats have a weave that is so...

    Recommend a crushable hat?

    Careful Some idiot sat on my hat today. I guess that qualifies it as "crushable". Only so many more times that happens I'm liable to go postal.

    Hats for a long narrow head shape

    Shortbrim I have a somewhat narrow head and found that a smaller brim is better for me. A large brim makes me look like a flea wearing an umbrella.

    Another reason why wearing a Fedora RULES!

    A LA MODE As per all the people wearing their baseball caps backwards I have decided to wear my fedora backwards also. It's the cool look. Finally, the pants, shoes, shirts, and shoes will go on backwards also. I'm sure it will be a great hit.

    Enough with the logos

    Billboard designer clothing Can you imagine paying $1000 or $10,000 for a custome garment only to find the tailor has put his name in dayglow lettering on your back! Gimmie a break. Would you wear an expensive stetson with "Stetson" embroidered on the crown? Hmmm?

    Felt hat basics

    Hat at rest An old tiimer friend of mine told me that proper hat resting etiquette is to leave the hat setting right side up with the brim over the edge of something so as not to change the proper angle of the brim. I do know one man who always leaves his hat upside down but this is because he...
