Hi fellows, it’s been a long time since I’ve been to FL (lots of, let’s say “life changes” but all for the better, now with a wonderful woman who does like my hats). Art retiring. New faces. Time marches on. Asking about “new” Strats. So Stetson stepped up and decided to meet public demand for... -
B-3 Help
Today I received my Eastman Redskin (my exact jacket is in the "studio" pic below). It is simply magnificent. These two "studio" pics are of the 1943 "house jacket" and the Rough Wear Redskin. I was leaning toward the house jacket but the Warhorse horsehide was irresistible to me on the Redskin...- Jabos

ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets
Deacon-thank you for your insightful comments. I was hoping you would respond since you have a new ELC. I studied your pics but it is good to hear you are satisfied with the sheepskin finish. Dr H-thank you for the photos. It is perfect to see what the finish will look like twenty years down...- Jabos

ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets
I am trying to decode between Aces High and Eastman. I love the color of ELC but have questions about their "broken grain". Was that a method used originally or is that a technique used to make the jacket look aged? Also, how does the thickness and durability of ELC compare with Aces High? The...- Jabos

F/S Dobbs Twenty 7 1/4
Some additional information: the crown is about 6" open, 5" creased as shown. Color is light gray. I paid about $130 on EBay for this hat WITH the moth hole. I know, there is still damage but it is better. The photo shows the hole at its worst but with the light straight on it isn't as...- Jabos

F/S Dobbs Twenty 7 1/4
For sale is a beautiful Dobbs Twenty. This hat was purchased on Ebay with one moth hole on the right side of the brim that does not go through the brim. A fellow Lounger graciously offered his services to repair the hole using his technique of shaving felt and mixing it with glue in the hole...- Jabos

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
It's just hats, right? Funny how there is so much to it as you learn and grow to appreciate the beauty of the fedora. Art makes the most stunning treasures. I swear that 50 years from now his hats will be highly collectable. I say 50 because I hope he keeps this up that long. -
Fedorafest III Stratoliner from Stetson
I've been away for a while (little league baseball and work demanding my attention) and come back to find this thread. Wow. I wouldn't have dreamed this possible. I'll be in line with the rest. Handlebar Bart and Mr. Paladin are MIA? Tell me it ain't so... -
Can you date the fedoras and suits in this photo?
That guy second from left front row looks so familiar. Isn't he an actor? I thought he looked like actor Edward Winter, but Winter is too young for that photo. I say '55. -

Dguy, we send our best for you and your wife and hope things start improving tomorrow. Jay -

Ponca huh? I was there just last week for a depo, but I bet Nathan's is long gone. Oil town so maybe owned by an oil exec? -

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Get ready to receive your favorite hat! I can't say enough about the black cherry. Art made mine with a 1 inch ribbon and I love it. But that color in person is so rich-photos don't do it justice. Great great choice. Maybe whiskey someday for me. -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
This was Thanksgiving, with my Art hat. Sharing a cigar and a drink with my grandfather, uncle and uncle's son. A poignant moment since my grandfather (the WW2 P-38 pilot) is 89 and in failing mental health. -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Lefty, sorry to hear about the hat not working out. Must be frustrating. At least you know it will fetch a pretty penny with the "Lefty seal of approval". I will try to miss that auction, if you cant give it the stretch, because I'm in enough hot water right now with two new hats and a new...
