A BIG day around here, wearing my new-to-me Royal Stetson Deluxe! When I first saw this lid, the brim had something of a pencil curl, but not quite a pencil curl. I wondered if it was a converted Homburg, due to the unusual brim binding and color. Upon further examination and rumination, I concluded that somewhere in the life of this lid, someone thought they could flange the brim with a too small brim flange, "folding" the brim edge over the flange edge resulting in the strange angled edge. Of course, I could be ALL wrong about this, and it really was a Hommy. However, the way it easily steamed back into a smooth "reverse" (downward) snap, and then allowed me to leave it as seen here shows it had a memory of a normal flanged brim. This ties my widest brim, at 2-7/8"!

I DID it!!


I'm STILL nervous of how my son's dirt bike rides on back.

Welcome to the Lounge - nice porker. Now we have two bird people!

Going green today in my work of Art.

Very nice. I can't think of another color combination that reminds me so much of the late 1940's, early '50's.

Now Bob will have to try that in his chair in front of the store; it'll be GREAT for business. Great idea!!

 

[Sonero]

Bailey's WILSHIRE.

A rather pronounced brim curl which takes getting used to.

Yeah! Except for the ever-present threat of bird-**** haha. That's why I only let them play on my "beaters" or my really cheap wool felts.

 

[EstherWeis]

BOB!
He's got birds!
BIRDS!

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush . ... possible the stock inventory could fly away . Welcome to the Lounge bAZNm ! Oh me , I know the question every inquiring mind is thinking , but ... it won't be me to ask it . Your a Natural Pork-Pie Guy , Pretty little birds , two , too .


EDIT : I guess you guessed the question , and beat me to it with the answer . Now , Is it tough to get off ? And How ! As the little rascals used to say . But How ?

Tuning in and just want to pass along a big CHEER! Magnificient cap/hat show the past days. From wedding, vacation, work, play and backyard shots the cap show has been excellent. THANKS for the visual entertainment.

Just home from a few days backpacking on the Lake Superior Trail. Showered and opening mail I opened and am enjoying my new cap day! A Damian Monvarias wool cap. Taped seams and a liner tip make this very comfy on tis 65'F afternoon.

Support our bespoke cap makers! You will not be sorry.

Best, Eric -

Quick shout out;

Stetson Bantam

Harv that is a hat that I just stop and say wow when you share wearing it. WOW!

Going green today in my work of Art.

Johnny; Your VS hats caught my eye when I first joined the Fedora Lounge. Love your hats! Cool to see them in action.

A cool start to the day, perfect for a cross season straw/felt mix. Hard to pin down the era of this hat... it is as new - from the form and fixings I would guess 1940s but it could be earlier.

Alan; Congrats to you and your wife on your daughters nuptials. Good kids come from good parents. Way to go mom and dad! On the hat front - you make quite a return in the duplex hat of today! A classy hat of yesterday! Thanks for sharing.


Too many to shout to - each contributor consider yourself" shouted out."

Enjoy the afternoon, Eric -
