    Panama Hat Thread

    I have a long distance friend I play online games with. He wears a cheap Target hat. I'm trying to convince him to upgrade to a real Panama. Anyone know the best place to get a bargain price Panama in Orlando Florida? Being in Australia, I'm not sure where to send him.

    Panama Hat Thread

    Do people generally have a preference for the type of weave in their hats? Brisa vs Quenca? I think the zig zag look of the Quenca looks cooler, but every website I read seems to praise Montecristis and they are more expensive. Are there benefits of one over the other?

    Panama Hat Thread

    A few years ago I mentioned that I saw an Aussie hat seller called Truffaux and I thought they didn't look good, yadda yadda yadda. I have changed my opinion. About a year ago I was in the Danenong mountain ranges visiting my second favourite pie place (Pie in the Sky in Olinda). And a few...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I've seen many internet posts ridiculing people who wear hats, and I think we've all seen the infamous 'le fedora' or 'm'lady' memes. But the stereotype behind that ridicule comes from guys who just don't know how to wear hats, like people who think wearing a $2 cotton or plastic trilby several...

    Post New Hats Here!

    People of the past must have had small heads. Everytime I come across a hat in an antique store they are always so tiny. Im conviced that every person born before 1970 was miniature. Awesome find though, almost like time traveling. Really cool.

    Men's Cologne / Men Of ( STYLE ) THE FEDORA LOUNGE What Are You Wearing ?

    I know it's discouraged to share links to stores. But I appreciate when people do because everyone in the lounge have such amazing hats and clothing items and such. I'm always trying to figure out where to get them for myself.

    Men's Cologne / Men Of ( STYLE ) THE FEDORA LOUNGE What Are You Wearing ?

    Summer and spring I wear Bleu De Chanel in warm weather. It's light and sweet yet masculine. Leaves a good smell that isn't too over-powering. Fall and winter I wear Hugh Parsons Bond Street when it's cold. It's heavier and more musky to get through all the thick layers of clothes.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I got a question about thefedoralounge. Sorry if this is a silly thing to ask but I've been on here over a year and my curiosity has finally gotten the best of me. What do the random sayings under our screen names mean? For example; mine says 'new in town' but I've seen 'I'll lock up' and...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Wet wintery day today. Dug out my churchill from the bath hat company because it handles light drizzles well. I knitted the scarf myself, and I'm quite proud of it. I haven't been out in a nice hat in over a month because me and the misses have been a little overwhelmed with our newborn daughter...

    The Open Road Guild

    I've never touched a stetson in person but I love the classic look of open roads and how it seems to be a mark of distinction to reshape them to make it one of a kind. I've been browsing online market places looking for deals and I have a question about the quality of stetson felt. You guys...

    Panama Hat Thread

    Yikes. There are a lot of mixed reviews about panama hats direct. Some people loved them and had a great experience but even more people seem to have had the exact opposite experience. There are more fur felt hat makers than I can count but when it comes to finding a decent panama it seems...

    Men rings - How to choose? What do you wear?

    Is that the noble collection version? In the books it's called the ring of barahir and it's the ring of the kings of gondor. Very cool.

    That's good to know. I just found them google searching panamas in australia. Their pics looked nice to me but their prices were a bit high and it was weird their prices were in USD despite being an aussie website and located here.

    Panama Hat Thread

    Not a panama. I got myself an Akubra Balmoral, it's made of hemp and it's stiff almost like a helmet. Akubra is the Australian hat maker (famous for their felt bush hats), and this one breaths well and is quite comfortable. I was told that it performs excellently in hard rain. I'd still like...

    Panama Hat Thread

    Thank you for the info. I didn't know natural straw was so poor in the rain. I wouldn't wear a hat in a hard storm but sometimes in life you can't avoid a light drizzle. I've looked at the Akubra Balmoral. It looked like a good hat but it has a leather band on the inside which heats up quite a...
