    Vintage Silhouettes Custom Hats - Official Affiliate Thread

    Does anyone have, or can anyone send me a link to, pictures of Art's Limestone colour against other similar shades (e.g. natural, dove, silverbelly). I've seen the pictures of the limestone fedora on his gallery, but can't tell from that quite how similar/dissimilar it is to those colours.

    Does this seem suspicious to you?

    This is definitely not the standard practice in Europe. No one in their right mind is going to commit to an order when they have no idea of the price of it! Do they require you to submit payment info along with the order? If so I'd steer well clear, if not, then you might as well go ahead and...

    Installing Wind Cords

    I've recently followed this very useful guide to install a wind trolley on one of my custom hats. I'll try to get pics up soon, but just wanted to let people know of an alternative to elastic cord. I used something called nanocord, it's a form of paracord, but thinner with a lower breaking...

    On "JUSTIFIED"'s finale, Raylan got a new fedora. What was That Thing on the brim?

    I assumed it was something one could use to strike the match that is kept in the ribbon. I'm just guessing though.....

    How NOT to look like Indiana Jones?!

    I can really only echo Lean'n'mean's post. I have various cotton spring/summer coats and a brown leather winter coat. I'm comfortable wearing any of my fedoras with my wool/cotton jackets, but am a bit more selective when sporting the leather. Either though my coat looks nothing like an indy...

    Compliments and other reactions

    I've yet to achieve ten compliments, but of the ones I've had so far all have been from women.

    Recommendation for Outdoors Hat

    I feel like I should mention Tilley. They're on the pricey side, but really are the best hat I've found for hiking/camping, both in terms of comfort, durability and practicality. They're admittedly not the most attractive hats though.

    Wind Trolley Source... I've got a few hats that I'd like to put a wind trolley onto, there's a great tutorial of how to do so here on the lounge (http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?27690-Installing-Wind-Cords) but I'm having trouble sourcing the cord itself. The tutorial recommends...

    Courage to Wear a Fedora

    I purchased my first hat about 10 years ago, an Akubra fed in brown. Like others here I'd always admired Harrison Fords hats in the IJ movies and after years of wanting one I finally took the plunge. It looked so strange to me when I first put it on though that I felt to self conscious to wear...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I''m a fan of tall, wide brimmed hats too, that one looks great. I love the colour.

    Felt hats in summer..

    +1 I wear fur felt all year round, though admittedly it rarely gets above 80F here in the UK. I take a fur felt when I go abroad too though, and wear it even in 100F+ heat. Perhaps its an advantage of being bald, but I don't find fur felts too hot to wear at any time of year.

    Adventurebilt hats status update (read if you have an outstanding order)

    I've just looked through the link you sent, my sincere thanks sir. I wouldn't ordinarily link to other sites, but considering this thread began with a repost from cow, and how little information there is on this site, I see no reason not to. If an admin has a problem with this, just pm me and I...

    Adventurebilt hats status update (read if you have an outstanding order)

    You keep saying this but I can't for the life of me find it. Can you please just copy the link and repost? Update: I've just skimmed through this entire thread again and can only find the update dated 6-14-2011. Perhaps you're thinking of a different thread, either that or its been deleted, or...

    Ah cool, but posted where? I've searched the thread and used the advanced search tool to search the whole site but I can't find it. Could you post a link to it?

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Is anyone else watching The Last Ship? After what I thought was a fairly bland pilot episode its really started to grow on me, though I'm not totally sure why. Is it having this effect on anyone else? I've really enjoyed the first two episodes, and am curious as to what happened to Elam - he...

    Adventurebilt hats status update (read if you have an outstanding order)

    Most of the hostility appears to be due to how (several years ago) a number of dissatisfied customers made very inappropriate, cruel and personal remarks regarding Mr Delks health. I can understand why his supporters don't want the thread to devolve into that kind of behaviour again, but it does...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Thanks guys, its quickly become my favourite hat thus far :) +1. I'd say its just about as versatile as my silverbelly - and I wear that with just about anything!

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    VS Black Cherry My latest acquisition from Art. I'd been on the fence about the black cherry colour for a while and finally decided to take the plunge - I was not disappointed! Straight out of the box; http://i1246.photobucket.com/albums/gg619/carranty/20140807_182135_zps74f2b677.jpg" With the...

    List of Custom, made-to-order, Fur Felt Fedora hatmakers and hatters

    +1 Absolutely! I live in the UK and unfortunately we don't have any custom hatters here (that I know of) so this didn't even occur to me :o.

    List of Custom, made-to-order, Fur Felt Fedora hatmakers and hatters

    Could be useful for first time buyers. To the OP, I really don't think you'll regret whomever you choose to go with. All the hatters JLee mentioned have many many posts of positive feedback here on the lounge. I can't recall any unhappy customers from any of them! That said, for me...
