Just rode in...

[Mr. Paladin]

Good morning, gentlemen. After checking out the Lounge for about a month and reading hundreds of the posts, I decided to join and hope to be a part of this interesting group. I am well taken by the knowledge, the help to newcomers, and most of all, the courtesy and civility displayed by each of you. I have learned much, and hope to learn more about hats and hatters. While I have worn them for years, mostly Open Roads and Stetsons both in the western style, I have also accumulated and now wear many different styles including fedoras, a homburg, and a bowler. Those really make you stand out here in Texas! Thanks for everything I have gleaned so far, and I look forward to much more. Thanks!

Hey, Mr. P, welcome!

There's a few of you Texans running around here. Must be a big state or somethin'...

 

[HatMagnet]

Welcome from another western style fan! Although You should be warned,hang around here awhile and You'll realize that You really need a few Fedoras too.

Welcome to the lounge! Almost thought that was paladin press for a minute there. By your profile you like cigars so you should check out the connoisseur section too.

What was the name of Paladin's Chinese servant?

I forget, but his sister's name was Hey Girl.

 

[carouselvic]

You are right as rain.

A Dr. asked Jethro do you have any brothers? Jethro thought a minute and said no, but my sister does!

Welcome to the Lounge!

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Thanks for the welcome!

Thanks for the welcome! I am excited to be corresponding with you all. Gene, I have really enjoyed some of the older threads where you talked about replacing and sewing sweatbands, and the other work you do on your hats. And Indycop, I will indeed check out the Connoisseur area. I saw that I missed the Laphroig debate (too bad; it is my favorite Islay Single). Thanks again, everyone.
