    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    One that I have had since the hat fever took hold again following my Dad’s death – a Dobbs Twenty ultra-stingy brim fedora. Not green, but “oliverde,” according to the tag inside the sweatband. Sold through Gimbels Mens Store (no city of origin). Picked it up at the local farmers market and...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Rainy weather today, so I wore the hat that I have nicknamed The Beater -- A Dobbs Golden Coach fedora that has seen better days. The inside of it is in like-new condition but the outside has cracked felt in the brim and some discoloring on the front pinch. There is also a wobbly asymmetrical...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Actually, I put this ensemble together on Monday, when I converted to Judaism. Wore my Borsalino (Film model), which perfectly complemented my navy pinstriped suit, pink shirt and Madras bowtie. The black Borsalino is fairly new, purchased from the JJ Hatter catalog by my Dad around 2010. Not...

    Source of James Spader's hats {The Blacklist}

    If you go to the official NBC site for their show The Blacklist and check out their shop, it is featuring a saddle (Brown) Stetson Mercury for sale. A stingy brim fedora with lighter colored ribbon. Reddington has worn it in a couple of episodes, although his main hat still is the black...

    What's reputation of Guerra 1855 hats?

    Thanks! I like it and would keep it if I did not already have enough (inherited) black fedoras -- a Rafaelli that was made in Milan, and a Borsalino Film. Have been trying to sell it on my Etsy site -- Dad and Daughter Hats. We're not big and rich, just small and niche.

    Dynafelt-How well does it hold up?

    Just bought a Dynafelt stingy brim fedora from an Etsy store for less than $50. I knew it was a wool/fur blend and truth be told it feels more like wool and is a tad heavy and stiff. Steel gray with a 1 1/2 in. black ribbon hatband and the usual spray of feathers behind the bow. Hope it...

    The Noble Schoble

    City of Origin for Schobel Hat Company? I am confused: I just bought a Schoble hat. In the liner, it says Fifth Avenue New York Since 1886. And yet while doing researrch on the hat I read that the company was started in Philadelphia in 1886 (and closed in 1960). What's the correct answer...

    Hat shops in Philly

    Yeah, tell me about it. I still fondly remember shopping for hats with my Dad at the old Stetson store on 17th and Walnut back in the '70s. Great newspaper bar right next door that also closed down decades ago. There was another nice place for hats on 12th Street close to the Reading Terminal...

    Hat shops in Philly

    My hat shopping experience in Philly today I went into Philadelphia today to look for hat stores. I had read in a posting here that the Hat Shopp at 810 South Street was open for business. It is not -- it is an empty space with just a couple of window stickers advertising Kangol. There is...

    What was your first fedora?

    My Borsalino Film that I inherited from my Dad. Full-fledged fedora in black fur felt -- wide brimmed, tall in the crown. I prefer for everyday wear a decent stingy brim fedora -- like a Dobbs Twenty or the trusty Hardeman that I wore to work today. They fit my face and physique better...

    Is my head shrinking?

    Don't know how common this and if anyone else here in the lounge has experienced this, but here it is: My head seems to be shrinking as I age. I have been a 7 3/8 LO for decades, but suddenly I find that may not be the case any more. For example, I recently went to Batsakes in Cincinnati to...
