Hi, Frunobulax, deadlyhandsome, and All, Thank you for your comments, and thoughts on this, Gentlemen. Much appreciated! From some of the reading I've done, whilst casting about on the 'net, I found an interesting article posted on the Bernard Hat Co. site. I also see that they are offering... -

Greetings, Gentlemen, I appreciate your comments, and thoughts, very much! When considering the content of my Mallory, I took into account two things: one, was that this hat looks to have been made in the 1940-1950 time period, and the other is that the feel, or "hand" of this hat, when... -

Greetings, All, Recently, I bought a very nice Back Bow Fedora, made by Mallory (I think after Stetson had bought them), and the felt is called "Durafelt". Of what is "Durafelt" made? I'm guessing a combination of beaver, nutria, and rabbit, but could be absolutely wrong. Anyone know the... -
Introduction and a question about a British Bowler that I have.
Greetings, All, Thought I'd share a few photos that I took yesterday, in honor of a British Railroad pioneer, Bernard Holden, who passed away recent at the ripe old age of 104 years! He did more in his life than most of us could ever imagine. Here's a link for those that might be interested... -

Greetings, Gentlemen, and Ladie, Happy Sunday to you all!! Thank you, very much, for the thoughts and comments on my Sovereign. I wasn't sure it if was an OR, but, your experiences with them has shown me why it isn't. So, what would you call it? A Sovereign Fedora? Not quite a Stingy... -
The Open Road Guild
Greetings, Friends, Here is what I believe to be a 1970's Open Road Stetson Sovereign, which I bought recently. It needed a tiny bit of a stretch, but not much, and I love this hat! Here goes: As you can see, this hat came from The Mad Hatter, in Stockton, CA, and I'm... -
My Eddy Bros "Quartzite" western hat.
Greetings, Friends, Years ago, my wife and I were camping around Quartzite, AZ, during what used to be a fantastic show they had there. It was primarily a Gem and Mineral Show, but folks sold everything from that, to guns, camping gear, and other such stuff, and we loved camping and shopping... -
Classic vintage CANVAS TENTS
Greetings, Friends, My wife and I have done quite a bit of period camping, as we're deeply involved in Living History, 18th century, and I also collect backpacking stoves, and can do a period camp for several time periods that way, too. Here is our fairly large Tentsmiths (the absolute BEST...- Doc Mark

How Many Fedoras did you see today?
Greetings, All, I am seeing more and more young folks wearing fairly cheap Fedoras, and when I do, I always compliment them on their nice Fedora. They are always pleased, too, and immediately note that I, too, am wearing one, but a much nicer one. One Gal yesterday was wearing a nice looking... -

Hey, Landman, VERY nice Stetson, Sir! I had thought that the current production of Stetson hats was not even close to the quality of those made in the past. But, your hat seems to belie that thought, as it looks great and of very nice quality. How is the fit? I may have to rethink my... -

Hey, Landman, I good to hear from you. I just called the Sheraton Gunter Hotel, and spoke to the Manager. He told me the Hotel was originally built around 1901, and became the Gunter Hotel in 1909. Their 1920's barber shop is still being used, several days each week. He had no knowledge of... -

Greetings, All, Well, I found definite information that places Alterman's Man's Shop in San Antonio, Texas, in 1955, and it came from right here at The Lounge (after a few hours of poring over information!)!! Here is an ad that has been posted here before, and it is an outstanding link... -
Introduction and a question about a British Bowler that I have.
Greetings, dhermann1, Thank you, very much, Sir! Much appreciated, and I thank everyone here who digs around and turns up these gems of information. I will keep looking around, but done for today. Still, I want to find out about Mr. Craig, and his shop, and have sent an email to the little... -

Hey, Doug, Sounds great! We will be working in Texas in June, or July, but not too close to you, unfortunately. Still, we get to San Antonio now and then, and will definitely give you a shout. Many thanks for the kind invitation, and I look forward to it! Take care, and God Bless! Every... -

Introduction and a question about a British Bowler that I have.
Hi, All, More information just came in from my friend in Scotland, which helps to know when this Hatter was in business. Here's what my friend, John, sent: "I've had a slightly deeper look at the telephone directory search on Ancestry.co.uk and W D Craig appears as a hatter and hosier at... -

Hi, Dougc, Man, you really brought back some great memories of camping on the Texas plains, back in the 1950's, and doing all the cooking over mesquite wood fires! Those were some outstanding days to be learning how to camp and enjoy the outdoors! Thanks for that, Doug! Also, thanks for your... -
Introduction and a question about a British Bowler that I have.
Greetings, Gentlemen, and Ladies, Well, I have finally struck informational paydirt, with thanks for a Mate of mine in Scotland!! I put out the word on a stove-collecting site, of which I've been a member since before electricity was invented (OK, maybe not THAT long!), and today I got a great... -

Hey, Dougc, Well done, Sir. That's a very nice OR, and in fact, your range of those is really interesting. Do you buy them to wear, and so get them in your own size, or just to own and enjoy, and not worry about sizing? I would only buy to wear, but I know many folks like to have...
