+2! Josh, your style is immediately recognizable-- and it's great!

DonCapone, you could be a very effective spokesperson for the modern Borsalino-- looks great and I want one. Welcome!

Good start in the morning, David, Mike, great lids today.

Thanks, Manfred

Royal Stetson David. love that colour and cant wait to see what this week will bring us

Thanks Dirk. This one is my oldest hat (prob 30's) but I have a couple of other nice ones for the rest of the week.

David: Starting Stetson week with a bang. Killer Zephyr Weight!

David, I can't say enough good things about that Zephyr Weight. The colors, dimensions, and overall look are just fantastic. Excellent!!!

Thanks AL and Josh. Like many of my best hats, this one came to me from a fellow Lounger, Douglas in this case.

Another day will great hats in the thread:

Mike, J - great VS's today, impossible to get too much Art!!

Ale - the Disney is looking good today

Alan - Wild!

Jeff: Looks like you had a nice little escape. I am now hungry for some bangers and mashed, thanks to your pic.


Hoyt: Your red truck is a thing of beauty. I grew up admiring the International Scout and Scout IIs, and still have a hankering for one. Thanks for sharing the photos with us.

 

[Kirk H.]

Thanks guys, I'm glad you enjoy the truck pictures.I don't want to take this thread too far off topic, but I was trying to add a bit of information to the last post when our power went out this afternoon.
The first picture is of my son and I ,and was taken in November of 1999,the night I bought the truck.(We are both somewhat larger today as can be observed in the picture from last July.)
The last two were taken at the International factory,in Chatham Ontario, where the truck was built. I appologize for the absense of fedoras in these pictures.
Also,what can I do to eliminate all of the extra white when I post a picture?
Thanks again and I appreciate your patience.

 

[DonCapone]

ya know Brent... it looks dark brownish grey... i took that in my studio.... If i get a chance i will take some pics of it outside in the daylight..

 

[Hoyt Clagwell]

So many great hats on this thread!

Friday night I went to Manfire - a large gathering around a massive bonfire

I'm glad you explained this one Rodkins.It's a cool picture, but I keep seeing headlines "ARSONISTS DOCUMENT HANDIWORK"

Just for the sake of information, some asked about the width of the ribbon on the Dobbs conversion I wore to the casino a couple pages back. I didn't even know so I took a measurement, and it turns out to be 2 1/8 inches. Pretty sure it is far and away the widest ribbon in my stable.

Thanks for that Rob!

 

[Shohei]

Beauties so far today, gentlemen.
Shohei-- looks sharp, clean lines-- 2 inch brim?
Ale-- seriously? you totally renovated that Disney? It looks amazing-- nice work!

On the hair note: I had long hair most of my life, and have had a few periods of buzzing it. I did find a difference, particularly with the bowlers. I think I'm closer to a large 7 with short hair, but an easy 7 1/8 with it long. Once in awhile I can get away with a 1/4 with minimal padding. My resistol wide country is a 1/4, and has pretty much self-conformed without any aids whatsoever.
Oh- and I'm getting impatient with the tie-back! The front is taking so long to grow enough to pull back with the rest of it.

Yes Jeff, just 2 inches, and ditto that sentiment on Ale's Disney! You could never tell! Good Job (I must know how you did all that, I can hand sew but id be way too nervous!)

Al beautiful line up there! Love your photos as much as the hats and as said earlier, like traveling with you, too bad I am no where near as suave!

Awesome ******* Josh, looks perfect on.

Don killer photo and nice borso -what colour is that ribbon, looks bordeaux? Oh and welcome from another new face!

Thanks Dirk. This one is my oldest hat (prob 30's) but I have a couple of other nice ones for the rest of the week.

Wow thats a couple of lids from the thirties, nice. Now what size are you .

 

[Ordinary Guy]

The Borsalino Verdi Fedora (Taupe) for today

Very nice pic and Borsalino.......I have a feeling there will be more......\

And WELCOME to the Lounge.....

 

[delectans]

Dirk: Thank you, you are most kind. As I commented earlier, you look great in that Disney. Very dapper.

 

[Aureliano]

and ditto that sentiment on Ale's Disney! You could never tell! Good Job (I must know how you did all that, I can hand sew but id be way too nervous!)

A lot of practice, a brief apprenticeship with a master hatter, and a lot, a LOT of mistakes after. And believe me, I still know nothing. Hat servicing/making is a difficult art that I love and are grateful to have come to know and learn.

 

[Shohei]

Ah thats great Ale!
That is something I would love to learn. Alas, I do not think there are any in and around my area that I know of. May have to do some digging.
Sorry for the OT!

 

[Aureliano]

Sorry for the OT!

What's OT again? I'm terrible with abbreviations!

 

[fluteplayer07]

Off topic, if I'm right with the context.

I think you've got it... not Over Time and definitely not Occupational Therapist.
