Last bit of lab work before heading back to work on Monday. This is the 2nd of two hats Tim sent me (to chase away my post-op blues, I think.) :) The other is a dark green Portis.

A very nice Knox Custom with their Custom Edge brim treatment, aka Cavanagh Edge, and a rich, dark brown, maleable felt. Fits very well and was a good companion on my trip to the lab this morning.

Thanks, Tim!

Tim you look sharp. I take that seeing your posts you are on the mend. Great news. Congrats.

Going with the grey Knox Twenty to match the gloomy skies over my neck of the woods.

Hector, your hat will brighten any day. Lovely fedora.

I looked up the word “class,” Eric, and your picture came up!

Possibly the finest spiral stitched brim lid EVER.

Thanks Charlie! I do appreciate your thumb's up.

I went over to Hector's and stole his new Royal Stetson.

I really like the ribbon treatment on your hat. It is so very enjoyable when you sport that hat in this thread.

Borsalino Qualitá Extra Superiore this evening while on a jaunt out in Copenhagen with my two girls.

Today....some color.
Some folks on FaceBook were raving about their Santana collection the other day??
I didn’t have the heart to post this one for them. Wouldn’t be fair.
So...i saved it for you all with the tunes to go with it.
Note on organ our own @quikrick!!

Wow, thanks for the alert. Cool accoutrements to that hat.

HAHAHA!! Good eye Bowen. You blew my cover!!

That is a way cool hat! Wear that with pride sir.

Hey everybody!
This Borsalino Torino made in 1978 does not have the impressive dimensions of some in my collection, nor is it one of the finest felts that I own, but it is one of the hats that I reach for the most often.

It's a perfect storm of fit, feel and versatility that makes it a great one for a grab-and-go kind of lid.
Have a great day

I see why it is a grab and go. Excellent.

Are you unable to attach photos via the website?

I only use my phone here and Tapatalk is just so easy to use. A great many of us use it almost exclusively to access The Lounge. I didn’t contribute much before Tapatalk and I’m not sure What I’ll do if it’s no longer available.

I’m hoping this is a short term problem with a quick fix. If it’s not compatible I understand it going away, but some of us will no doubt go with it. Fingers crossed.

I have never succeed attaching photos via the site. I'm with you, I hope this can be fixed.

The Lounge administrator said that Tapatalk was causing server problems so it has been disabled. I hope it gets straightened out since it’s the only way I attach photos. Fingers crossed that this is just a short term problem.
Thanks for the heads up Brent... I’ve been like going through withdrawals over here! Whatever will we do!

:shake: Ya’ll got any more o that FL on Tapatalk :shake:

I’m with you.... I’m pretty web literate.. but it was the reason I never posted here till recently. Also the convenience of having the app on my home screen really helps... BUT adds to addition LOL

The thing that is really disappointing over all... is the long term storage of the photos.. wherever they are hosted. Tapatalk or otherwise. It is somewhat heart breaking when you dig through the wealth of knowledge on this site over the last 10 to 15 years... and how much of the photos have been lost to time.

I’m currently browsing using safari on iPad... so it looks like the option for posting a photo is... “upload a file”

gonna give it a go

If you choose to upload a file, the image is stored on the FL servers, and won't be lost when you let your Photobucket account die.

I ditched Tapatalk a few months ago when they started squeezing my shoes to go premium. I use my web browser and it's just fine.

That's all I've ever done from my cell. When I'm at home I use my laptop and a private photo hosting site, smugmug. I started using them the first time PeeBucket screwed everyone over... plus their ads practically disabled my laptop every time I used their site. I pay $40/year and have access to all kinds of other options I hardly ever use, including photo greeting cards, photo albums and books, etc, and never have to worry about my pics going away unless I want them to be deleted.

I was thinking maybe a bicycle ride this morning, but the driveway is covered with black ice. Doesn't seem good. Stetson 3X Gun Club

If I can't get out today I might consider looking around for some new ribbon to put on this hat.
