Crofut & Knapp. Seller says it's plum. I hope he's right.

I put that on my watch list just because I liked it. Too small for me, though.

Good pick up.

Just got back from an overnight teaching/shooting trip in Springfield and found this waiting for me.

3X Beaver OR. I went back and forward with the seller for a couple of days until I got it to a price I was comfortable with. I wasn't sure what I was going to get, but I was amazingly surprised.

Nothing that a little Jiffy steamer treatment can't take care of[emoji106][emoji275]

My phone rang and the caller ID showed a caller from Mexico. Max was at a party and saw a hat on eBay that he knew I’d want that wouldn’t last and he called me. How’s that for looking out for your friends!

That's what I call a solid[emoji106] I have done that also and sometimes I feel I'm more excited about it than the person I'm giving the heads up too[emoji1]

Helping a friend is always a pleasure. I'm here because a friend pointed out the Lounge to me in a conversation. I have to admit, I'm skeptical of internet sites and social media, but the Lounge has proven to be a place of true ladies and gentlemen.

I used to belong to shaving sites, golf sites, etc, etc, etc. It became more of a headache than fun.

The Lounge is a great place!

That's great Brent -- you're going to love that from what I hear about Fortys. Kudos to Max! I'm a bit concerned about this party though ... Max was surfing eBay there?

I agree.
In March of 2018 I had to go to Chicago. I had been watching a series called "Justified". In the final episodes there was a pistol duel where both of the duelists' hats flew to the ground. Someone on the 'net said the bad guy's hat was made by Optimo in Chicago, so I went there and bought my first good hat. (I had a Stetson El Presidente I thought was a good hat, but after Optimo I knew better)

I had no idea it would become an addiction. I had a question about hats a couple of weeks later, and found the Lounge. I only had one question, I thought, and was annoyed I had to register in the site for such a small thing. The first screen name I tried was taken, so I just wrote the beginning of my office's email address, drmaxtejeda, to satisfy the registration requirement. I was just going to ask my question and leave, I thought, so I didn't care if I chose a good screen name.

And again, I had no idea that The Fedora Lounge would become a big part of my daily life, or that I would meet Bowen, Brent, Bill, Daniel, Ken, Bob, Stefan, Steve, Steven, Eric, Alan, Douglas, Jim, Charlie, Héctor, etc.
The only member I've actually met in person is Daniel, yet I feel I have a whole bunch of new friends I wouldn't have met otherwise, and that my life is richer because of it.

That reminds me, I just came back from a reunion of club friends from when I was a teenager. Those were golden years for us all. Many of them I hadn't seen since I left for my postgrad in Chicago, nearly 40 years ago. We look so different now we had to wear name tags to help us know who was who.
