Boy am I hooked....Three boxes arrived so far today....

[portolan]

Nope....no hats....But I did get:

A Jiffy Steamer
A Dark Brush
A Light Brush
Scout Dark Felt Hat Cleaner
Orange Hat Sponge
And a bottle of Old West cologne because I had to maximize the order for free shipping! Old West is fitting for a guy with so many westerns and is my favorite cologne! Glad the store had it in stock! Super quick delivery from Cavenders.

Does all this stuff now mean I am completely hooked on hats? Wait til I fire up that steamer.....look out Jimmy the Lid.....new competition from Fil, the fedora felt fixer! Ms. Portolan is waiting on four more hats (two more from Garrett and two from the bay). I found her a NOS Borsalino and a mint brown Open Road. She is also getting a great Mallory and Stetson from Garrett. I have a Campdraft heading my way right now, and should have a Panama Bob and another Major Moore in time for the big 60 festivities! Oh yeh, I am hooked!

Hook, line & sinker there Fil! Ain't it grand, tho?

Phil is gettin' his fill!

You know we understand....

Man, Phil, I am so glad someone here is buying more hats and hat stuff than I am!

What does a jiffy steamer look like, by the way?

Keep that up and you'll get a visit from the Alliteration Police!

Bring on the creasing, Phil! Actually -- I predict that, once you start down that road, you will absolutely love it.

Cheers,

Amen, thanks Portolan for seeming more hat-daffy than me - I just ordered three hats in the last half hour.

Is this the steamer you bought?:

I saw this in the store, and wondered how well it worked. It would be nice to have something to do suit jackets as well as hats. I'm sure the lounge would like a review once you've fired it up...

No, this is the one I bought...Haven't fired it up yet...

But probably will tomorrow.

I may have to invest in one of those. It sure looks better than my tea kettle.

i believe in this case the phrase is hook, line & steamer...

Rowenta Steamer

FWIW, here's what I use. The hose allows me to quickly apply steam exactly where I want it on the lid. Works like a charm.
