Greetings to all. This is my first post to the lounge. I have recently purchased a new fedora for the first time in my life. I have to admit that I have always admired the look of a fedora and I finally purchsed one for myself. My wife thinks I am crazy however she did help me pick one out. The "New bailey Bop Litefelt Teardrop" Does any one have any comments on this hat? I would gladly listen to any veteran fedora wearers since this is my first lid.
Hey Jake...wellcome into this viciousplace...everybody here is really hat's drugged.
Everyone begun,like you do, with the first...and then...
...hi Jake,I'm Riccardo...I'm an hat's drugged.
Enjoy your hat.
Best wishes.

Nice to meet you sir. I haven't even received mine yet and I have been feverishly trying to get setup on the lounge and finally I am here. I enjoy the conversation and hat info. I am hooked already

I'm still a newbie, but, Hail and well met.

Hello, Jake! Welcome.
I, too, recently took the plunge. I know how it feels at first, but in time, you'll start to feel proud of yourself for following your heart.

To Riccardo and Red Pop, I was also interested in the Derby, just for variety, although the fedora is my first choice, any thoughts on wearing a derby in today's world?

Thank you Tommy. I am having a good time, see you have a bodyguard there in the photo. I have few little ones myself.

Haha. Oh, yeah. She's a jealous one. She tends to keep all the other pretty ladies off my back.

A Litefelt Bailey is a good place to start. That's close to where I began my addiction. It should be enough to get you hooked.
By derby, I guess you mean the round-top bowlers. If so, I haven't seen much crop up lately for men wearing them (although I have seen women go for that look). Maybe you'd prefer the homburg style, which seems to have a stronger following, and plenty of people make them. I see a lot of them on ebay.
Good luck, and have fun.
