Anybody else attending any of these shows? As the public on-sale date loomed closer, I checked out every presale available for the Philadelphia shows on Monday, November 8th and Tuesday, November 9th at the Wachovia Center, but I hated how I didn't know exactly where the seats would be. Couple...
Some great hat shots here for everyone that I wanted to share.
Philadelphia Athletics - Shibe Park
The Philadelphia Athletics' Shibe Park, shown here in this undated photograph, opened in 1909. Originally named for one of the club's initial owners, Benjamin Shibe, the park was renamed...
First and foremost, hey everyone! It's been a while. Sometimes life takes over.
Technically I could've put this in the eBay thread, but I wanted more eyes on this than normal so that I could get some identification help. Anyone see this one? I took a risk and won it based on the circumference...
Gary "The Sarge" Matthews can be heard here in Philadelphia all through the baseball season as the color commentator, often alongside the best voice in all of sports, Harry Kalas (R.I.P.). He wears a hat every day, and a different one each time at that -- they're usually brimmed, and sometimes...
All I really know is that they're the original men's clothier, they're associated with preppies and golfers, and they're very expensive. And, despite not being a preppy or a golfer, I love their stuff. I have a Brooks Brothers slim card case, aftershave, 1818 cologne, a brown blazer, a fedora...
My Brooks Brothers hat box is in fairly immaculate shape. I'm hoping the same for the Cavanagh, but beggars can't be choosers! I'll either trade you even (the sturdiness of a Brooks Brothers hat box is matched only by Vintage Silhouettes) or I'll buy it outright.
Let me know.
Do you regularly break the rules of hat etiquette? Do you disregard standard hat treatment practices? Do you wear sneakers with your homburgs? If you do, this thread is for you! The intent is good-natured fun. Nothing serious. Just a bit of personal demon exorcism is all.
I'll start...
So, I stumbled upon a post in the Classifieds here pointing to a Craigslist entry selling a Champ w/hatbox in 7 5/8. Just my size, and in a price range I can afford right now, so it's on its way.
I don't know too much about the Champ brand other than what I've read here. Most believe Champ...
Everything you ever wanted to know about these can be found here, and you can even find some NIB, NOS, or fully refurbished ones to purchase here and, of course, eBay.
My own collection:
The classic IBM 1391401 Model M.
The 1391401 equivalent, but rubber dome (non-clicky) - The...
Okay! So, last night I was walking through my neighborhood when a flash flood just exploded from the sky, and with it about five minutes of torrential, marble-sized hail. It was spectacular. Unfortunately, I was outside for the entire thing. Fortunately, I was wearing my Fed, which may as...
I ask because I just purchased my very first vintage Stetson that, from the looks of it, I won't be reselling (like I did with the Stratoliner and the Whippet and the Eagle, none of which worked on me) from Mr. Lucky via his post in the Classifieds. I'm excited about this one, not only because...
I checked the Hat Crease thread by Matt Deckard, but couldn't find any exact matches.
FRONT: Brown Herbert Johnson, Grey Bott TropicWeight
BACK: Grey Adam Executive, Brown Dobbs 20 Guild Edge
I know that the Dobbs 20 in the back-right is a diamond crease, but what about the other...
