Thanks DavidJ and another senior interested in hats huh? Most of the kids at my school think its unusual to even wear the new style fedoras. And I totally hear you on the girlfriend thing. This month I took her out on a nice date, and got her presents for Valentines Day and got her jewlery for...
Thanks! I will certainly be writing that list down and taking it with me on my quest to find a proper lid. And the names Akubra, Stetson and Borsalino are all very familar to me from lurking here for a couple years. I've heard lots of advice on all of those hats and plan to look for them when...
Hello Shangas
Yes I know a couple of thrift stores in or around my general area where I plan to hunt for a nice lid. I will be careful to ensure that it does fit me well and is in good shape first of course. And I agree with those colors, I would particularly like either a gray or brown one as...
Hey GuyGardender I own the trench you just put up! I bought it in a military shop for just 25 bucks! Its one of my favorite coats but are you certain its gabardine? Mine says 100 percent wool on it and is definitly a wool coat
Thanks everybody! Its nice to be greeted so warmly by everyone and to be given good advice. I absoluetly do enjoy wearing my current fedora and believe it makes a fine substitute until I can get a fur felt one. And I do intend to get a hat that is fitted for me and works well with my head. I...
The tag on the inside of the trilby says large. I got it for 20 bucks at wal mart and I was trying on a few of them in the store. No numbers were listed just small, medium, large, extra large. The medium was allright but I am partially deaf and have a cochlear implant which is a device that...
Thanks Oldsarge! I do have a thrift store in my city I visit with a friend of mine sometimes and the next time we go I have been planning to take a much closer look at the hats and see what I might be able to aquire thats within my budget. I do want a fur felt fedora, and I'm also looking to get...
Hi there! First off I would like to say I'm new to the Lounge so if this has been extensively covered elsewhere I apologize in advance. I love this site and have been on it long enough to guess some of you guys won't be thrilled to hear this but...the only fedora I currently own is one of the...
When I wore my black fedora for the first time I wasn't sure how people would react, but so far its been very positive. Most of my friends have tried it on or asked to and several teachers have looked the other way when I'm in the halls at school. One who is very strict did tell me to take it...
I have a very heavy leather jacket thats made for protection when motorcycle riding and made the mistake of hanging it up on a plastic hanger. Later when I went to go put it on it had broken one part of the hanger! Since then I've kept it on a wooden hanger and there's been no problems with...
I would have to agree Tkeks. I have 5 overcoat but my main trench coat comes down a little past the knee. I have a short black one that's about knee length and its definitly the shortest I would wear. What annoys me is those new "trench coats" being put out by Burberry that you can see at thier...
I have a Stafford Trench that I got a couple years back as a birthday present. Its khaki and has a zip in lining for when its cold. Without the lining it fits perfectly over my suits though. I mainly wear it when it rains but I zip in the lining and wear it whenever it gets cold too
