I don't know where you get all of those hats, but good lord, you have quite the collection! and the sad thing is that I wouldd wear almost everything I've ever seen you post and I know that you have a very similar head size to mine, so I think I could wear them. talk about temptations!

I certainly admit that I have an affliction with hats.

Thanks. I am a 7 1/4, so this one is a bit snug. But its definitely worth trying to stretch. If I can't get it to fit it will be available sometime....

I just seen a Stetson 100 and case sell for just under 600 bills it was brand new never worn still in the plastic.

Yep, that non-profit probably left money on the table considering how it was listed & described. Had it been 7 3/8 & up, it would've brought even more $$$.

ok, I'm making some progress, but I still don't believe I'm doing my posting correctly. I'll work on it. This is a new Stetson Downs in caribou, and it is 79 here today. I came to the realization, this hat is WARM!

Scooter, I know what you mean, I wear my Stetson Saxon appraising and it feels great in the morning, but by afternoon it's getting a little hot. I may have to start the day with felt and finish with straw.

Ladies also wear fedoras I made this one for me. I think I'll leave it untrimmed.

Cool hat, would like to see it on. I liked your blog as well, especially the war time brittish reel about remaking a hat.

I wish more ladies would wear them. It would make fashions more interesting for both sides of the aisle.

Actually, if what I've read is correct, the Fedora started life as a lady's hat, and remained so for a decade or more. Here is what I read...

Robert does have a thing for cameras along with his affliction for hats....

You Sir are correct!!!

I agree. I read this on a vintage millinery site, and I've seen some vintage Stetson women hats.

I'm still a little shy. I'll have to build up to wearing my hats on the Lounge. I did wear it at a fashion show last Friday.

Its not really correct. There was a fad in the 1890's and beginning of the 20th Century for Women's Fedoras and "Bicycle" Hats, but the men's version, an Alpine Hat in origin, had already existed and was being marketed under the name beginning in 1882, concurrent with the play Fedora.

A warm welcome to the Lounge and hope to see more.
