    This Cowboy's Hat

    While I can not claim all the attributes evoked in this song, it however stirs the emotions. I have listened to this song for many years and thought sharing with those who may have never heard it before a good thing to do. I feel it can be applied to all hats, not just westerns. Enjoy, my...

    Making of a Irish Flat Cap

    I came across this vid today, and thought that there may be some interest in how caps are made. This vid promotes Hanna Hats, but no matter, I imagine they are all made approximately like these. Enjoy...

    White Smithbuilt

    I recently acquired this lid off of ebay, sold by a former lounger. There has been very little information about Smithbuilt here on the lounge, so I have been doing some investigation. Ultimately I went to the source for information on my new lid. I found out that Smithbuilt like so many other...

    Is it just me ?

    I am not the fan of baseball that I used to be and Many Ramirez is a prime example of what is wrong with MLB as well as many other pro sports. I am watching the game and am disgusted that a supposed pro athlete presents himself in such a slouchy manner. A uniform that is at least 2 sizes too...

    NOS Borso found in Atlanta

    I keep telling myself, "No More Felts", Texas weather only allows for about 2 to 3 months tops and the rest of the time is straw weather. That having been said, I found this new old stock Borso on my trip to Atlanta. The color of the hat on my head is pretty much true. I will let the hat speak...

    Don Williams Lid

    I was just looking at some photos of Don Williams and for the first time, looked closely at his hat. I had always thought it to be a western with a short brim, alas I was wrong. It appears to me to be a dress hat of sorts with the brim rolled up western and a military acorn cord over the ribbon...

    Vintage Lamps

    Road to Perdition

    Sorry if I am behind times on this one, but I just finished watching this movie with Tom Hanks and Paul Newman. The costuming is incredible, the hats superb.

    Ladies Stetson ??????

    I picked this hat up a week or so ago. I have never seen this model before and would like to get some input on what it is. The ad claimed it was wool, I am not sure where they got that from, there are no tags that state anything. It feels and acts just like fur felt, maybe it is a blend. It is...

    It has been said that ........

    Good things come to those who wait. I guess that I am living proof. I stopped at an estate sale yesterday and sitting just inside was this Jiffy j-2 steamer. What a jewel, I used it this morning for the first time and let me tell you, it beats standing over a tea kettle. In under 2 minutes, I...

    Well, close anyway. Here is the latest Homburg that I have been adapting to the request of a friend. This one is a custom hat by "House of Hats" Detroit Mi. For the "Homburg Purist" you will note there are no forward dents and the center bash has been left in tact. The owner did request a bit of...

    Latest Texas Treatment

    Once again, this homburg is not mine, it belongs to another that like this style and ask me to shape his hats for him. The latest is one fine piece of felt, I do not know the age of the hat, but the felt is like heaven in my hands. The sweatband is black and would suggest the hat may not be that...

    Just received my latest acquisition, and what a beauty. I have been in search of a tan colored hat for sometime now. This fills the bill beautifully. A Stetson Fifty, 2 3/4" bound brim, 4 1/2" diamond crown. I may just leave it as is, it would be hard to improve on this one...

These sweats are not stamped with anyones name or company, so the pallet is open for what you want or do not want. Replace that cracked and worn...
