I know I don't post here much but I thought I'd share my favorite radio station from Chicago which streams live every day and features classic Jazz, Big Band and Swing from the Golden Era with the likes of Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Art Blakey...
A couple pics of Optimo for those who may have interest.
One of Graham so you know who to look for.
One of Graham's car, simply because it's just so damn sweet.
I know this may be a hard question for some of you who have quite a many fedoras in your collections, but I was curious to know what your number one fedora is? By that I don't necessarily mean the prize of your collection or even a sentimental fedora, possibly passed down from a relative. I'm...
Up for sale is a framed cartoon or 'supplemental' to Harpers Weekly from September 20th of the year 1873. This is sealed inside of a vintage frame so I have no idea how to prove it to be authentic but it is slightly yellowed and when looking at it closely you can see the indentations of the...
I concur. Herbert Johnson's reputation has slipped over the years. People at Indygear were putting out better Herbert Johnsons than Herbert Johnson when a couple different sources purchased the HJ felt bodies and blocked them themselves. As of late I think there was a small push by HJ to...
Just checked in on this thread and saw there were a couple responses.
Trout,
The hat is a light-medium tan, I'd say. The shot of the ribbon is pretty close up, with a slightly brighter flash.
Rick,
Nice to see you in these parts. Hey, I wish these hats were...
Oh, I know you know your hats Steve and that you were one that has been around the block, trying out all the offerings. However, not everyone was as smart as you about it and had one sided opinions on many of the offerings. They simply didn't see all of the fedoras available, they just jumped...
Being a true Raiders fan I had to jump in on this one. I've seen all of the Indy offerings available (I'm pretty sure) in person and I've stuck with my Optimo, even after the AB craze, which still seems to be in effect. :) While the AB's are very well crafted hats with great felt I thought...
OK. In doing a little research in the archives here I've found out about the Pliafelt. An older post read: The Pliafelt was meant to be a hat made of soft and plaible felt. It was more of a dress hat grade. Something similar would be the vintage Borsalino Alessandrias.
This makes total...
Thanks for the welcome everybody and thanks for the compliments on the hats. I wish I had more info on where these hats actually came from, but Grandma is the best I can do.
H1 specs are as follows: The hat is listed as a size 7 with an approximate crown height of 5 1/2" and a brim width...
H2.
This hat has been a favorite of mine for a while but it's just not my size. I'd love to know about when it was made as well or anything else about it. I wish it were my size because this particular style fits my personality and my facial...
Hello FL,
This is my first official post here at the Lounge. I'd like to thank Zohar for the invite and MK for the admittance. I was recently told about the new magazine to which I wish the best of luck. I imagine this board had alot of influence.
Some of...

Hi,
I'll be posting more pics of these two beauties in the fedora section as I wanted to open a discussion about them as well. I received these from my...
