    Help Yourself Why Don't You? :rolleyes:

    Quote "If clueless oafs can't easily do wrong, they're unlikely to inconvenience themselves in order to do wrong. And thus I'm unlikely to be obliged to break out the shootin' irons and the moonshine and go a-feudin'. Plumb pore excuse for a hillbilly though that might make me." Makes me...

    Hi from a new female member

    Women in men's hats... There are much more qualified folk here to answer that, but from personal experience, recently I worked in an office where the V.P./C.F.O., a woman, wore many different fedora's-mostly mens. She was older than you, but similar in facial structure and hair color, and...

    Hi from a new female member

    Hello Barb I have been looking at that CEO as well, I think....my link for Hats Direct opens on the CEO. I was thinking on the "Cruiser Grey" for a color...I have a few black fedoras already. Either way, it's a good looking hat. Welcome, Bam

    Hats in Macbeth

    30's MacBeth If i'm not mistaken, there was a gangster version of MacBeth, but I dont recall the era it was set in. No, i'm wrong. One in '55 (Joe MacBeth), redone in '90 as "Men of Respect". Bam

    Won 3 Vintage Hats on Ebay last night!!

    Congrats! ...and my sympathies are with your hubby. It is so very hard to see a dream hat-perfect style, perfect make, perfect shade, ribbon,etc...go by forever,because one's head is a couple-three sizes to large. I wonder if there is a surgical procedure? Bam

    The legacy of my Akubra...

    Very Nice Hat... ....however: Buried in dirt Sat on countless times Crumpled into a little ball Crushed by a mattress overnight Beaten with a stick (unfortunatley, while it was on my head) Smeared in grass Soaked through in rainstorms Run over by a Volkswagen .....I went through...

    The nicest comment I ever heard

    Nice Comment... I have not been wearing fedora's for long, and living in a pop. 250 horse & cow town does not present a lot of opportunity for me. However, one evening I was dressed up for a evening out-door shakespeare play at a local winery and stopped by the post office to get my mail. A...

    face shape drawing

    Betty... I understand...I live in a very tiny house/cottage, and my shelves are filled, so books are stacked like pillars everywhere. I have a lot of difficulty discarding any book I enjoyed. I like vintage books, and have quite a few, including a book of Kipling's verse from 1923...

    Greetings...

    Thank You... ...and, yes, I have begun my hat collecting. I have seen a few hats in here taken from me by wiser bidders. I have tried putting my head in a vice all night as well, to get down to a size that would allow me to purchase hats in my price range. (It doesnt work). I have taken a few...

    face shape drawing

    Vintage Betty... Is there a chapter in there for the "Logical proportion of the Hat to the Budget"? By the way, the book is a nice find itself. Bam

    Greetings...

    Gentleman, (and, as I have just recently noticed, Ladies) I have been lurking for quite some time, and thought I would at last say hello. Reading your posts on vintage hats has brought back memories of my childhood in the S.F. Bay Area. My mother, a native New Yorker, used to be addicted...
