Post New Hats Here!

[Redfokker]

My fiddy-dollar O'Farrell arrived. Fits great! No markings behind the sweat band to date it, but probably from the mid-1980s. Feels quite "beavery".

Will probably flatten the brim. With the high fenders it looks a bit too "Freewheelin' Franklin"...

Then you were doing it wrong...

Did you get a second bed to sleep on? Wow! What a haul.

I am in the airport for the return. I will have to wait until Friday to enjoy them, because I have a full day tomorrow. I can't wait.

You have a way with words!

But I like Freewheelin' Franklin!

I was always more of a Fat Freddy's Cat fan myself.

I was about to ask why it was called a three way and hoping the answer was fit for the Lounge's censors' approval.

I arrived in Texas to pick up my hats. Will return to Mexico City tomorrow with my precious cargo. Eighteen are from Anthony, three from eBay.
I finally know what vintage felts are like. It is true, many felts feel like tissue! Wonderful.

I wouldn’t have told anyone until the hats were home and locked in your safe. Lounge members are not to be trusted with that kind of temptation.

I’m looking for a review of each of them!

Oh oh....all those hats on the bed! BAD luck...gotta spit into each one now or take em outside and stomp on the them. Cowboy superstition says always bad luck to put a hat on the bed.

That’s got to be one of the best deals I’ve heard of.

Thanks Brent! I was glad the bidding stopped where it did.

Two incredible hats Justin.

Well, in the words of Indiana Jones, "Don't expect much" of my review. I am very much a newbie still. Enthusiasm, yes, knowledge, not yet.

I didn't know that. My list of superstitions is already long enough. I swear every time a black cat crosses my path something bad happens. Last time, in Wisconsin, I hit a deer not one minute afterwards. Fortunately, I was already forewarned by the cat and was driving slowly. Both the deer and my car walked away relatively unscathed.

That's why I didn't mention the name of the city in Texas I was in.

I'm sure more than a few folks at Stetson got a giggle out of them using that phrase as well. I know it "officially" refers to the three ways the brim can be worn, but they knew what they were doing.

 

[Daniele Tanto]

Today I show you the first of a bunch of Borsalino with flaws that need work to be worn

Borsalino "Light weight" color is "Rutenio" Qualità Extra Superiore, sold in Salerno.
Very worn, it has a light felt and the sweatband is excellent, the defect is the seams of the brim that are loose

For proportions they are: brim at 6 cm. crown at 10.5 cm and the ribbon is 3 cm.

To improve the erratic size in Borsalino history, this is a 5 1/2 that fir perfectly my 6 1/2 head

It will go to the construction site in Holland to became a nice and clean Borsalino ready to be worn
