    The Stratoliner Appreciation Club {MODERN}

    Fantastic Stratoliner. In fact I have the same exact one and I love it. I wasn't so sure I would until I started wearing it. It is Featherlite and super comfortable. I had a similar wavy brim issue with my other Stratoliner. I think it's common, but I did work on it with the steam. And for the...

    OTHER THAN eBAY Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    You betcha I have a gripe. It's ME. I wear a 7 5/8" O size AKA 61, XL, 24" yada yada. This does not make vintage hat collecting easy for a melon head like me! They did not have as many large heads back a century ago like they do now. And I like to wear what I collect, so I often grab...

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    Looks great on you. Love the subtle pattern. Yep the Boston Scallies are really nice caps. I have another one with a neo classic Irish plaid. Learning for me anyways, that it's not enough to just grab any hat for the day, but I try to play the part. Match the hat/cap to the clothes, the day's...

    The Cap Faction

    The Legend of the Goorin Grenadier. As the tale would have it, the Grenadier line saved Goorin Brothers in mid century. It's a story I have heard uh, and maybe somebody can confirm it or clear it up perhaps. As the formality of the 40s transitioned into the casual nature of the 60s, hat makers...

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    The value of a hat is not always the money spent, the age, the maker, nor the materials. Sometimes, oftentimes, the value of a hat has everything to do with the story, the giver, what you feel like when you wear it. Many of my hats are only priceless to me. The winter Isotoner (yeah I said it)...

    Gilligan's gets points for fondness. If my Dad was still around he'd still be wearing one of three fishing bucket hats he would have gotten from Kmart for 2.99 on blue light special. While not the same, Gilligan's gives me that good memory.

    Sure the age old question of Ginger or Maryann, but wouldn't it be more fitting here to discuss either Skipper or Gilligan's HAT? What is your preference?

    Wowsers, we found a fantastic Borsalino Augusta Diamante today. The hat is really soft, I believe it might be hare felt. Vintage and super excellent condition. Ready for this? 12.99 at Good Will. Yes, we have snagged plenty of surprises there. Wahhh it's not my size, but will give to my good hat...

    Thanks the the explanation. Wahhh, all my own center dents don't comply. I gotta get me a real Homburg with the ribbon stitched curled brim. Thanks again!

    I gotta lot to learn, the center dent doesn't make it a Homburg? Would you consider it more of a Fedora? I see the little pinches on the crown....

    Wouldn't we all have a super ego if we had Sigmund's fantastic Homburg?

    Western, anyone?

    Here's a contribution from the (mid) West. How abouts the Borsalino Caldo I? It has a vast 3 1/2" brim, soft felt, and plenty of weather protection when I have to rustle up the herd or something. I nicknamed it "Renegade Border Patrol" before I aptly gave up on politics. Thank God for that!

    Aha! You guys got my hat tip to The Partridge Family. I'll try to work a little tackiness into all my posts.

    Thanks! It is my first Aussie hat. With a brim so flat. And a wide one at that. It's nothing like my Strat.

    Yes, the one and only Akubra Leisure Time! Pronounced "lezhurre" for those who are up over as opposed to down under. Take a gander at the hat band. Real bird feathers have been woven into it, plucked from pheasant, Guinea fowl, and members of the partridge family. Presented by my lovely wife as...
