Hi all, It has been a few years since I have been here for the last time. Upon discovering that The Fedora Lounge is available on my cell phone, I'm giving it a new try. Today's hat is a Stetson Whippet, probably from the mid fifties. It is a long oval, perfectly fitting my egg head. Regards...

Don, That is a chique ArtLite, with a beautiful combination of colors. Enjoy it!

VS The Inger Thanks for all the kind comments about my Silver Mist VS! You are right about the perfectness of Art's welted brim. From above, it looks like a true Cavanagh Edge. And it just 'functions' like one. This hat is my first one from Art with a welt, and I am really glad with it. It...

VS The Inger Now that the crease is settling in, the time has come to present my newest VS hat: Silver Mist felt, with a deep burgundy ribbon. The brim has an overwelt. I've called this hat The Inger, because it came in on the day my niece with the same name has been born. Much...

Hi Art, What a kind gesture! Do know that the pleasure of knowing you is on my side. And I wish you many years to come, to continue what you are doing in good health. Now about ordering a VS during February.. I have been pondering an ArtLite Mojave hat for some time. Would it be...

Great milan FMW! That hat is you and makes for style.

The green Borsalino has been sold. To a fellow lounger, of course. Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for the interest! Inner length is about 19 1/2 centimeters, inner width about 16 1/2 centimeters. Circumference: 58 centimeters (a true size 7 1/4). About the accuracy of the colours in the pictures: in reality the colour is a deeper green than most of the pictures show. PS My...
