    Peregrine Harris Tweed Bomber

    The only place I've ever seen this jacket is Sierra Trading Post. It has been on my wishlist for a long time. Good luck!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I recently came home from a trip to Florida. My wife and I grew up there, but we had our daughters who have lived in Texas most of their lives. Our new son-in-law was also with us and he has never been to Florida. One of the must-do things was to visit Disney World. Early July in central...

    Panama Hat Thread

    Panama Bob, Lefty, Aureliano, and others, let's not forget it is our LOVE of hats from another era that once drew us to this forum. If you have a beef with each other why not take care of it once and for all by private message or email? I feel like I've walked in on a long standing argument...

    Panama Hat Thread

    I have some ribbon and the hat, just waiting to see how you did that. On a side note, cut PB some slack. He is also a full time teacher and a full time hat broker. From what I've seen he gives a pretty good hat for a fair price. I would hate to give PB the feeling of regret every time he...

    SERRATELLI???

    I live in Stephenville TX where their outlet store exists. I am not sure if they make any hats here. They have a large showrooom. If anyone is interested I can ask them personally.

    A pretty good Montecristi Panama hat video

    They beat the crud out of those things! I just hope that this isn't one of the last evidences of a dying art.

    What happend to all the stickeys?

    I agree with FMW. Being new to the Fedora Lounge I would have appreciated some sub categories to help me avoid asking the typical noob questions. I did use the stickies quite a bit. A search is helpful, but sometimes you need to know how to ask the right questions before you get the answers...

    Last night the TV show Fringe was a rerun of season 2 episode 20 "Brown Betty" where the story line included Dr. Walter Bishop telling a story loosely based in the fedora era. Almost all of the characters can be seen wearing awesome hats and decent costumes The film noir episode was not the...

    Panama Hat Thread

    Hey guys, I know this is called the Fedora Lounge. You all have great style and hats that I wish I could wear and look as good as you do. But I live in Central Texas where a cowboy hat is the norm. I was wondering if anyone has taken a panama (maybe a PB) and gave it a western look? I'm not...

    Just another newbie looking for the right hat

    I noticed oh PB's site that he has white, natural and pearl. How would you describe pearl?

    Just another newbie looking for the right hat

    monbla256, I'm not sure why I had 65 days of over 100 degrees in my head. Maybe I had a dyslexic moment that favored my glory day suffering. It does get hot here. One of our adjustments was to the dry relative humidity. It felt like holding your face in front of an oven. We still have some...

    Just another newbie looking for the right hat

    monbla, Our first night in Texas was in July of 1998. After moving stuff from the truck we turned on the TV and literally the first words we heard we of David Finfrock saying "well today is day 5 of over 100 degrees." If you remember that was the year it went on for about 65 days in a row. It...

    Just another newbie looking for the right hat

    Lyle Lovett, one of Texas' own. He may not be the most handsome but he sure looks good in a hat. He has an awesome sense of humor that shows in his songs. And he even married Julia Roberts. He gives hope to "average" men everywhere.

    Just another newbie looking for the right hat

    Monbla256 is right. Stephenville Texas calls itself the cowboy capital of the world. We have 4 (cowboy) hat shops each with their own hat blocking man. You can get any hat you want as long as it is a cowboy hat. In Central Texas it seems to be an unwritten (but not unspoken) rule that winter...

    Just another newbie looking for the right hat

    I just realized,the Stetson Open Road looks familiar because not only do a lot of the older ranchers wear it, LBJ wore it a lot.

    Just another newbie looking for the right hat

    Great suggestions! thanks to all of you. Neo, I really like that Akubra style, still looks similar to western style, but without the turned up brim. Looks like they could take a beating. Yeps, I've tried a palm leaf hat, they seem really heavy to me. Monbla256, You probably pass near where...

    Just another newbie looking for the right hat

    Neo, I've got the felt covered for now. A very wise and kind old gentleman gave me his 30-40 year old black felt dress hat. He said it didn't make sense to be buried in such a nice hat. His newer one would do just fine. He is dead and gone and when the occasion arises I'll wear his, proud to...

    Just another newbie looking for the right hat

    I'm not usually a hat kind of guy, but I wish that I were. I am a pastor in rural Central Texas where just about every man wears a hat. (You can take attendance by looking at the hat pegs across the back of the church.) I've been given a couple of cowboy hats and they are just too big in the...
