Have you seen the movie "For Greater Glory" staring Andy Garcia? I asked Major Moore to make me a replica of the hat Garcia wore in the movie. He made a wonderful Western-Adventurer-Fedora style hat in the same beautiful color that matched the original. I have not worn the hat more than once. It...
I have for sale an Art Fawcett Village Silhouettes Western hat in a tan color that I have never worn. It was custom made for me by Art. The inside measures 60 centimeters in circumference and 21 centimeters in diameter from front to back. Inside, from side to side it is 18 centimeters. I...
This is an amazing Fedora. I bought it a few years ago and maybe have worn it twice. it is a size 7 1/2 (60) long oval Grand Beaver Fedora. It has very long blue hair fur and a wonderful one inch blue ribbon. It is 5" from brim to top. The pictures tell the story. I am selling this for $80...
I wrote this a few years ago for my friends on a couple of watch forums. I hope you enjoy. Blessings for a great holiday....Phil

Last Thursday night several friends and I were enjoying a cigar and wine on the porch at Po Pazzo restaurant in Little Italy San Diego. A fellow walked by in long coat and fedora. The more I think about it the more sure I am he is a fellow FLer. I gave him a "Nice Fedora," he nodded and...
I cleaned out the back seat of my truck today and found this wonderful Christy's Panama that I bought in Vegas under some luggage! I really liked (notice past tense) this hat. Is it beyond saving? Can one of our gurus here fix it? I paid almost $200 for it. Will it cost more to fix it and...
This hat just arrived about half an hour ago. it is very intriguing. It was on sale at one of our sponsors and is, what I would term semi-custom... I was able to pick out the color, size of ribbon (9 ligne), type of bow (I had no idea what to pick), and brim size. I like wider brims so I...
Wish granted! Got this one on clearance from Colonel Littleton. Should be great in the hot Mexican sun. Boy will I get made fun of down there in this one! The guys will really hoot! I kinda like it.....
I would appreciate your collective thoughts... I am thinking about buying a gray or blue or even black fedora for the big Saturday night dinner at Monteagle. With all the hats I own, only one is gray or suitable for wear with a blue suit. that is my gray Fed IV. The crown is just too high for...
I have seen several hats on the forum over the year or so I have belonged identified as Western Hybrids...I like the idea and the term...living in Florida and working in California and having a home in Chihuahua, I am probably a Western Hybrid myself.....Would you please share your thoughts on...
It was late December 2009....Yes, it was time for another meeting of The Secret Hat Society that doesn't exist.....To ensure super secrecy, the meeting can only be gotten to by horseback through rugged terrain.....
Off they rode....their backs to the camera...of course...
After miles...
Once upon a time I bought a really nice new Panama hat from Christy's of London......really nice....like it a lot.
One day I put it gingerly on the floor of the back seat of my F-150. The same day I have to come to a sudden stop....The cooler that is sitting on the back seat comes crashing...
I haven't posted for an eternity....Sooooo busy....I miss all the hat chat and my friends.
My wife just pointed this hat out to me from a picture in the Boston Proper catalog. It is not for sale in the catalog. She really said she likes it alot. Any idea where I might find something...
I have no idea why the villagers think I own a lot of hats????? Have they never heard of the Fedora Lounge???? I bought my mayordomo and his son new Resistols. This summer when I take the truck down, I will take the two tejanas graciously provided by two FLers. I know the villagers will...
I have been absent for over three weeks. I trust all is well with all of you. While on my extended road trip I received my new Mike Moore Buckaroo fedora. I haven't been able to post it til now. It is a wonderfully soft lightweight beaver fedora from a felt I picked out on our tour of the...
I read a thread from several years ago regarding safari hats. Many guys bought this Akubra Riverina and adopted it to a safari style. I was so happily surprised to find the same place everyone was recommending two years ago had three sizes left in this hat at a really terrific price - $47 or...
but fortunately not on the hat!
Look at this picture . . . see the second green felt from the top in the pile? Major Moore and I picked that one out because the top one had a teeny flaw that I didn't see, but Mike spotted right away.
Now check out this picture that Rusty sent me...
I think I am going to found a club, a kind of a benevolent society for those of us seemingly unable to smile in a hat picture. My wife sets me up to take a picture and says smile . . . I think I am grinning deliriously and then I look at the picture . . . the smile is nowhere to be found. No...
