I have been missing the lounge for quite a long time now. Getting a little fed up with Facebook, too much drama, not enough hats! We had an event at our local Historical Society so I tried to look a little 1870s-ish. A top hat from Stefan and a vest with my dad's Hamilton pocket watch was as close I could get. Need to have Mike Miller build me a proper period top hat or stiff felt. I pledge to be better about being a part of the life of the lounge. View attachment 364054 View attachment 364055
Great seeing you back at the Lounge Mike!

Not venturing out today, so here is the hat that I wore to my PT appointment on Friday. NW Hats custom made with vintage black cherry felt (the cherry is not so black as with current Winchester felt). I had Mike do a dimensional brim and some fun stitching. My favorite ribbon treatment in a gray as well as a double bubble on the crown. I'll try to do better next week. Just trying to make a comeback to the fold still.

Hello, newbie here. It's not as prestigious as most of the lids posted here but I'm sporting my beater 4X Resistol today. Started life as a George Strait hillcountry, picked it up in rough shape in a thrift shop for a whopping 15 bucks. Got it bashed and rolled to my liking now.


Looks good. I have a few similar Resistols and they are great hats. It’s not a competition (if it was I would have lost and gone home long ago :) ). Keep posting your hats!

Enjoying another beautiful, early fall day - as I’m sidelined with R knee bursitis!

Fantastic finish Reggie. Mike Miller builds the best hats!


Love the Playboy!

Great looking stiff felt. Love that liner logo! It looks like pre-war for sure.

Much needed rain in Oregon today, we had a torch of a summer. Figured I would trot out a sturdy stingy to brave the elements. My favorite Cavanagh "Thirty", early 1960s (Rat Pack) style.

You had rain too? Yesterday was warm enough to wear another of Esther's straws, this morning the rain lashing aginst the window was so heavy that it woke me up. The sun showed it's face later on. This was yesterday's hat, I hope that it's not all felts just yet.

Love the color on that liner, Joe.
