    Spectator Shoes for Sale - Size 12M and 13M

    Hello all, I haven't posted in sometime, but wanted to give folks at the Lounge the first shot at these before they move to eBay. A job change a few years ago has resulted in my dressing much more conservatively than I had and I find that much of my wardrobe is now unused. Among the...

    Knox Premier in Size 7½ up for auction!

    This will be a nice hat for someone. I recently bought it for myself, but it is at least one size too large and a stiff wind today convinced me of how easily this hat could just fly off my head and into the sunset. So, it's auction time... The hat is a dark grey Knox Premier in a 7½ oval...

    A strange, but happy, find on a recent trip through a local antique shop...a sable brown trilby from Christys' of London: The hat is in like new condition and unlined. The felt is very lightweight and will be perfect for those "in between" seasons. The sweatband is marked...

    Hat Advertising

    My obsession with vintage hats has branched off in several directions, not the least of which is an on-going quest to find old store advertising from the 30's and 40's. Most of the stuff that I've come across is either in really bad shape or incredibly over-priced. Yesterday, I was walking...

    Dobbs Twenty #3

    A tip of the lid to Feraud for the inspiration for this post and his similarly named threads showcasing this great line of hats. Here's mine: I picked it up on eBay earlier in the year and shipped it off to Art for cleaning & blocking. Although the felt is very thick, it is also...

    Where do we go from here?

    Following up on Art's post that he will no longer be renovating vintage hats and Fedora's reply indicating that he too is concentrating his efforts on his custom line, I'm left to wonder where I'll go to have my hats restored, cleaned and blocked. I've had positive experiences with both of...

    Mommy, why is that man crying??

    Was taking a stroll through a local antique mall earlier today on my lunch hour, when I spied a VERY large (18" square/4" thick) salesman's catalog from M. Born Wholesale Tailors in Chicago, dated 1922-23. The price tag sported a reasonable $65. I was hooked! I opened the cover to discover...

    Cavanangh missing its edge...

    Much has been posted here about the famous Cavanagh edge. I recently picked up a very nice, virtually mint Cavanagh that sports a 2" raw edged brim. The brim doesn't appear to have been cut down (or if so, it was done by a VERY skilled hand.) So, my question is: "Did Cavanagh ever produce...

    Kindred spirits...

    On Thursday, I took a late lunch and found myself at one of our local chilli parlors (Springfield is known for it's horseshoes and chilli!) I was wearing a 1930's vintage Panama and as I was taking a seat, I noticed an older gentleman making his way up the aisle pushing a walker and wearing a...

    Humidor Question...

    I recently decided to purchase a humidor so that I could keep a few of my favorite cigars on hand. I settled on a small Reed & Barton case that was being sold as a factory second on eBay and that arrived without any paperwork. This is photo of the humidification element in the lid: I...
