    my first pompadour

    Since I have thus far been able to afford and/or find a good fitting lid lately, I decided to go for the hairstyle I've always wanted. For anyone who's worn one, how did you get your hair cut? I know my hair overall needs to be pretty long, but what about the back, and sides, etc? ...for...

    still digging: size 8LO, or perhaps 8 1/4?

    I managed to obtain a size 8 Temple on ebay some time ago. Since then I have noticed a couple things: 1. The hat appears a bit too tight, at times I've had a small headache from it's fit. 2. I have "space" above my ears where the hat bows out, I assume a long oval cut would fix this? The...

    it's here

    Got my vintage brown stetson sovereign in the mail today. The seller neglected to mention the nick in the felt at the top of the crown, but it's passable. I think a long oval would fit my head better, but where would I find a Size 8 LO? Guess I do really have a big head, the hat does fit...

    getting my wardrobe started

    I just picked up a Stetson Sovereign on ebay, and I think it's time I had something vintage-styled to wear with it. Can anyone give me directions to photos or guides in this area? I'm not sure what era would fit my fancy, but I intend to find out. I'm a fan of suspenders for sure, while I...

    in the mix

    I'm here with my observations, indeed. I see a lot of you folks, men and women alike, as ?¢‚Ǩ?ìpurists?¢‚Ǩ? to your eras. While some may even have different eras to choose from, the subsets are clearly defined. Myself, I like to mix things up. I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢m taking the lids and the...

    size 8? am I stuck with custom?

    I have had my cheap $40 fedora for years, it's a size 7 7/8, and just a bit too small to be useful. Over those years, I've never seen a size 8 hat anywhere, do they exist?

    still lurking in the shadow

    Somebody might recognize this face in the crowd, but I'm just putting my head up for a post or two to make it know that I'm still around. I went on a field trip to a couple of state parks and wore my fathers "air-flow" leather fedora, I had nearly forgotten how much I enjoy wearing a hat. For...

    summer styles of the 30's, 40's and 50's?

    Nearly every representation I have seen of style from the 30's-50's has been cold climate, what did the gentleman wear in the summer?

    coming in with nothing

    By chance I happened upon this site while looking for a decent hat. I bought a very cheap looking Fedora for my high school prom years ago, at 7 5/8's, it appears to small for my head and I fear I need a custom size. I've been reading around for a week or so, trying to absorb information. I'm...
