    Pals of WOOL

    WOOL?! Yeah I know, loungers seem to shun them a lot, but to be honest, not this lounger. I decided to try and dedicate this thread to those hats that don't compare to the much finer felts we all own and love, but still play a role in hat history(I say history, 'cause modern wools are...

    "City Streets" starring Gary Cooper

    Does anyone know if this film was made into DVD format? I've seen one for sale, but am wondering if it's a bootleg.

    "Manhattan Melodrama"

    If anyone's interested, I just found this on YouTube(10 parts). Looks like the whole film's up. It's last VHS print was in 1991, it's no longer produced and was never released in DVD, so watch it while you can. By the way, this was the film that John Dillinger saw just before being plugged by...

    I have a clue, but want opinions

    My wife's got a high school reunion coming up and I figured I'd use this as an opportunity to buy a new suit. I found one I really like and a pair of shoes as well. The suits a charcoal grey and the shoes, well as you can see, black and white. Do you think that's way too much dark? I thought...

    I need a new binding for my Homburg

    Ok, so I bought this original Mallory "Ten" this past Winter and love it! Unfortunately, as much as I wanted to wear the darned thing outside, I didn't, 'cause the binding's discolored and being a sucker for detail like I am, I won't 'til I get this problem resolved. Now, I did send it...

    Golden era MUSIC!!!

    I don't know if anyone might have posted this YouTuber's page, but I'm so excited about it I'm not gonna even bother looking. It's such a fun page. Here's a link to "240252" and his wealth of Golden Era Music. Be sure to thank the guy(if you have a YouTube account), he's put in a lot of time and...

    Anybody know what kind of sunglasses these are?

    These look similar to typical "cateye" sunglasses but there's one suttle difference, they're more rounded as opposed to almond shaped. I like the look but can't find any that look the same. Is anyone out there familiar with the style? Help.

    The TOMMY BURST! (ca. 1960's commercial)

    I know this isn't 30's or 40's era, but I couldn't find any other place to put this. Boy, this commercial inspires me to find one of these Tommy Burst Detective Sets and then go and "cap" some bad guys! lol

    Hat size confusion

    I'm sure that this subject has been mentioned before, but I looked around for a thread touching on this to no avail, so here it goes. I have a 22 1/2" noggin and I wear 7 1/4 comfortably. Eh, sometimes my lids are just a teensie big, but often times I think that's because maybe the former owner...

    My "Diplomat" overcoat. I hope it fits right.

    Okay, so I recently won a really decent overcoat that I thought would go well with my newly acquired Mallory Homburg that I recently sent to Chicago(btw, how long does it take before OPTIMO contacts me after they receive my hat?). It's a little different than what I normally look for as it's...

    Do you wear all your hats the same way?

    And I'm mostly speaking of fedoras. For instance, my Bond and Stetson I wear canted to the left as they seem to look much better on me that way, but my Dobbs, Merrimac and Koko I cant to the right. Now, they're all symmetrical as I'm very meticulous about such things, but wonder why they all...

    6 7/8 Borsalino "Qualita Extra" & 7 1/4 Adam "Premier"

    Hello all. Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone that may be interested in either hat. They'll be going up for auction today at 1630 hours PDT. They've been brushed off nice, packed with great care and are ready to ship to the lucky winners. Here's the links(I think you'll have to be signed...

    Men's Merrimac Hats

    I'm curious to know the rarity of Merrimac's men's line of hats. Now, I say rarity because for the past year and change I've been searching relentlessly for another, but to my dismay all I ever find is women's hats. Like the one I own, I stumbled across one other, but it was in a western style...

    My Merrimac Fedora v.02

    Well, I just received my old Merrimac back from "Mike the Hatter" in Cleveland, OH and I was a little disappointed. They did a fine job of cleaning and reblocking it, thing is, when I sent this off a couple weeks ago it was a "C" crown, the original block, but then I open the box today and it's...

    Stratojac -Winer Manufacturing Co.

    I've recently acquired a nice double breasted Stratojac topcoat and like I do with all my vintage clothing, have been trying to seek out the companies history. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find out much about the company. About all I know is they started some time around 1894 in Hammond...

    I know I'm in the right place!

    Well, after so many months of perusing these boards and finally biting the bullet to create an email account that would be accepted by the lounge, I'm glad I'm here among other men with a fashion sense and certainly the style I'm so accustomed too. I just thought it appropriate to introduce...
