Post New Hats Here!
Hi Steve and Charly (sorry, I have a feeling I'm not "smelling" that right(?)), good to see you again. I haven't been around for quite a while now, but it feels great to re-visit my old hood. At some point in 2016 I joined Facebook, and since then my visits here kinda faded out. From time to... -
Hatters beware! American hatter threatens to sue over matches behind the ribbon!
I believe, his lawyer is already on the case. Hornskov's business is a very small one, and it's probably a matter of economics whether it's a feasible route to take. I'm pretty sure, that "The Boy Named Sue" (yes, a pun) has much greater muscles when it comes to a court-room struggle. -
Hatters beware! American hatter threatens to sue over matches behind the ribbon!
I absolutely agree, Fruno. I personally haven't seen it (yet), but I'm pretty curious to see the details. I live only 10 minutes walk from his shop, so I'll probably pay him a visit within a week or so ;) -
Hatters beware! American hatter threatens to sue over matches behind the ribbon!
I believe the difference to be, that matchsticks, toothpicks and playing cards have been used by the hat wearers. If you can convince the trademark registration organisations, that you are the first hatter to make and sell hats with those accessories already in place, you can register it as your... -

Hatters beware! American hatter threatens to sue over matches behind the ribbon!
You could ask Art what he feels about his small "counter-pointing" color detail in the bow's knot now is being copied by most any hatter around. He has on numerous occasions said, that he's proud of that fact. I believe that to be a lot more interesting than how liberal contributers to this... -
Hatters beware! American hatter threatens to sue over matches behind the ribbon!
Did you know, that only one hatter in the US, Europe and Australia is allowed to make and sell a hat with matches, stuck down behind the ribbon? No? Neither did I! Not until I learned that Nick Fouquet recently threatened to sue Danish hatter, Peter Hornskov, for lost sales and damages, if he... -

THE SUNBODY ASSOCIATION
Pardon my ignorance, but who is Jimmy? :) Looking at the first pic, I thought the brim was bound. Now I see it's not ;) Considering the prices they ask, their hats seem super nice! I need to do some serious thinking before next season - and maybe I should also brush off my spelling of the... -

Now, that's a cool lid, Rusty! Did Mike do the binding? -

Side By Side/ Hat Comparisons
A site specific Google search led me to an old post, I remembered I did on the Resistol: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/photos-of-hatters-tools.27503/page-11#post-1683204 -
Side By Side/ Hat Comparisons
A great comparison, Moon! I have seen that special brim treatment on a handful of hats, and I have two in my own collection ... a brown Statley and a grey Lee Black Label. I also remember to have seen a Resistol on eBay some years back. There must have been several sewing machines for this type... -
Head Shape Poll
Me too ... more or less ... 58.5cm LO - but not quite bald yet. Definitely soft-boiled, though :D -
Buying hat blocks--what does one need to know?
I would say, that #52 is very (and also too) flat and full for the Open Road and Stratoliner. In my mind, a semi-domed block like #51 would be more in line with the original models. I would prefer a #51, if they were my hats, but maybe it's just me :) -
Ask a question, get an answer
In situations like this I use a site-specific Google search with a string like: "poll oval site:thefedoralounge.com" (without the quotes). That will only return results from TFL ;) http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/head-shape-poll.49176/ - looks like 58.8% (of the participants) are LO... -

Ask a question, get an answer
I guess, it depends on whether the person is a regular or long oval(?) I'm not sure, I don't understand your question(?) :) -
Reshaping a wool Fedora
A woolen sweater does not shrink from being soaked in hot water. It starts to shrink when soaked in hot water and manipulated. It's the combination of moisture, heat and movement that makes wool shrink - and the same happens when felt is prepared for hat-making. Steam should be used with some... -
Happy Straw Hat Day
From Copenhagen, a Happy Straw Hat Day to all loungers - and it's even weather here for straw today! :) -
Post New Hats Here!
What a beauty, Moon! It reminds me a bit of my own dream of a hat ... the Knox 100, Alan sold a few years ago to Lounger, Aaron. Knox sure made some show-pieces back in the day! :) -
What hat with a tuxedo?
Thanks for the info. I never do black tie - and I haven't been wearing white tie and top hat since I was 12 years old, enjoying magic as my hobby. As I don't see myself as a coming Freemason or member of the Royal family, it'll probably stay like that :)
