Going Atomic With Dalton
As previously mentioned, we do not see this hat brand very often. I thought I would share with you a sample specimen from the old Dalton Hat Company with this thread. I bought this hat from OFAS a couple of months ago and just had it flown here a few days ago. It was on a BIN option for... -

Victor Victrola XIV
I've been looking around for an old phonograph and came across a Victor Victrola XIV in my local antique mall last month. It's not in mint condition cosmetically, but it still plays well and loud. from the serial number i found out it was made in 1917. I also learned that the doors are made... -
My one "new" Borsalino (a Marca Colombo)
Dinerman did it to me. ;) Just when i thought i was able to ease on the hat buying urges, a "new" borsalino hat showed up. The rest, well, is history. Here it is: Not a very detailed pic of the interior, but I can see the picture of a ship on the logo: And the shop where the... -
A Lucky Panama
Like the venerable Art Fawcett and Sharpetoys, I have a really soft spot for a good Panama hat. It gets even softer when it's in an Optime style. A few days ago, i bought a hat because i wanted the box more than the hat. I won the two items for $6.80. I thought the Dobbs box with the city... -

My first Stratoliner
Finally, after months of being patient and a bit of luck, my first stratoliner landed (well almost). :) I am surprised it didn't go above $100 range. Perhaps this is because it's a newer stratoliner (the stetson logo looks late 50's to 60's). Would anyone like to correct this... -
Hat with unusual bow & Cavanagh edge (requested by Brad)
Here you are Brad, as you asked: It's from the same seller who sold Douglas' one and only Portis Hat. I've been a bit reluctant to post this hat since I am a bit nervous with the brand's name: Barcelona. It is a twenty, which I guess wasn't really cheap back then. Do tell your... -
Vintage Golf Bag
I just got my first vintage leather and canvas golf bag. It's from Burton Golf (my current guess is that they were big in the 40s and 50's). My question is, how do i clean the dirt marks on the leather? There seems to be a great debate about the use of saddle soap for cleaning dirt...- astaire

would this Dobbs be a stingy from the 30's or 60's?
Hi everyone. i got this Dobbs hat a few days ago. I bought it because i haven't got a light grey hat :o It also has the nice guild-edge and good dimensions. At first i thought it looks like the typical 60's rat pack. But after looking at it a few times, i grew to think it might be... -
Is Dobbs Twenty as good as others'?
From what I have read in past threads, Mallory twenty, Knox twenty, Stetson twenty all have very good felt. I also understand that Cavanagh is slightly above the league. My question is, are Dobbs Twenty hats as good as the others'? Just got one from ebay yesterday and started thinking if... -

how do you clean mildew/fungus marks?
You see them quite often on vintage hats. My grandfather's hat from '52 has them. You see them most on the linings and sometimes on the felt itself. I guess it's because hats have been in an enclosed space for years where the combination of age, temperature and humidity causes the right... -

I'm the newest member of the lounge as of this morning, and really glad to be here. I just returned from a trip to Germany and wow, what a great place to wear fedoras it is. While there, I finally got myself a tobacco brown fur felt fedora from an old store in Munich named Breiter that was...
