    my first pompadour

    I got my hair cut by a "guy who's been standing in the same place for 30 years" today. He cleaned up the sides with a straight razor.

    my first pompadour

    Since I have thus far been able to afford and/or find a good fitting lid lately, I decided to go for the hairstyle I've always wanted. For anyone who's worn one, how did you get your hair cut? I know my hair overall needs to be pretty long, but what about the back, and sides, etc? ...for...

    still digging: size 8LO, or perhaps 8 1/4?

    What would be the best method for stretching this lid?

    still digging: size 8LO, or perhaps 8 1/4?

    I managed to obtain a size 8 Temple on ebay some time ago. Since then I have noticed a couple things: 1. The hat appears a bit too tight, at times I've had a small headache from it's fit. 2. I have "space" above my ears where the hat bows out, I assume a long oval cut would fix this? The...

    Not the most amazing shot, but here's my new lid!

    It's an 8, and it's tight but not too uncomfortable.

    Can you wear your hat in YOUR vehicle?

    My 1971 Ford Maverick 2 door does not require the removal of my hat, and I do enjoy cruising in my stetson. I'm 6' 2" but my bench seat sits low and comfy.

    America in Color, '39 - '43

    Wow, just wow. That is a really neat collection, I wish I could see the repops in person. Take a close look at those people's faces, that's the look of a lifetime of hard work for a lot of them.

    it's here

    Got my vintage brown stetson sovereign in the mail today. The seller neglected to mention the nick in the felt at the top of the crown, but it's passable. I think a long oval would fit my head better, but where would I find a Size 8 LO? Guess I do really have a big head, the hat does fit...

    getting my wardrobe started

    I just picked up a Stetson Sovereign on ebay, and I think it's time I had something vintage-styled to wear with it. Can anyone give me directions to photos or guides in this area? I'm not sure what era would fit my fancy, but I intend to find out. I'm a fan of suspenders for sure, while I...
