I'm glad that this thread was started. I am looking for some nice vintage sport coats and I'd much prefer to purchase from someone who is on FL. I looked at TweedyDon's site and need to have the missus measure me. About a dozen years ago I purchased a nice Borsalino from Tango Yankee from FL. He...
That Stratoliner looks really nice. To my untrained eye, it reminds me of the hat that Jeff Bridges wore in Sea biscuit...which I thought he looked great in.
A number of years ago I bought a Borsalino from someone on at this forum. They had bought if for their FIL size 7/8 and the size wasn't quite right. He did me a real service and sold it to me for what he had in it. It was a great hat, soft as a bunny's butt and I wore the hell out of it. Maybe...
Thats great news about a new IJ movie.
Im sorry Sean Connery won't be in it. Might want to stock up on good vintage fedoras before that move comes out.
Unfortunately, those are too big for my little melon.
Do PB's hats run pretty accurate with regards to size? I ordered a hat for my Dad from PB's a number months ago, but haven't seen it on him yet. (I'm going home in a couple of weeks, so I'll have a chance to look at it) It was a great...

They are drawn to them because they are great! They should be drawn to them...we are. We think of them as a personal article of clothing. IMHO they see it as an accessory or a prop. I agree that its rude to grab a hat, I'm not sure how I would react, but I think that's the mindset.
Sorry you were burned.
I noticed one thing has changed. Several months ago he used to say that he was a Borsalino dealer, then he would trash their hats. No ethical person would do such a thing, so I decided to spend my money someplace else. Maybe someone called him on the dealer story.
BK:
Yes...that's the look....one great looking hat. Jeff Bridges or Art need to check their closets.
Top it off with a quote from Winston Churchill...greatest man of the 20th century. The Lounge is a great place to surf. Thanks guys for sharing your time.

What kind of hat is this?
To my very untrained eye, it looks close to an Open Road. Maybe the brim is wider than an OR? I have to say, I like the looks of that hat.
