Wow, Justin! You dig up some superb hats, man! Very, very nice.

Why do I have the feeling this is going to be the most common answer to that question on this forum?

Hats..the love of them....it is a CURSE....lol! Most likely from the bug...Hat Bug....but the cure is simple....just buy another one.....it cures it...for about a day.

That Bowler that Alan showcased...wow...I think what really makes it stand out is the crown...seems a bit more up there and seems no visible taper.

I would have to think since we have been on the Lounge, perhaps 100 or more hats have come and gone.....I think last count, we have shaved the amount here down to about 34 hats currently for Daniel, and I am only owning 4 at the moment......(only at the moment, I might add)...lol

Beautiful, Ted! I like the pinch.

That is a very clean and neat Fedora, and for sure a good looking Hat!

I took a chance on this one a few weeks ago and had to get in there at the last second to snipe them they were a bit pricey but what the hell I took a shot.

Great finds FF!
Don't see many Hopkins or Ware Pratt & Co, very cool.
You're fortunate, I wish I had a hat size that made this kind of variety available.

 

[mayserwegener]

Frank, Great looking Boater. Baltimore was somewhat of a straw hat center back in the day.

Nice, Frank!

 

[hatsRme]

Freakin' FABULOUS finds, Frank!

You continue to AMAZE, sir!!

I took a chance last Friday on a Post on Etsy. The box arrived this afternoon. I was amazed at how fast the hat got here, and will paraise the seller for the quick turnaround and the careful packing.

The hat wasn't much to look at in the pics, but it was a Stetson and looked like it could be put back into service without too much work.

Here's the listing: Men's Vintage Black Stetson

I'll post better pics after I get home and can get some shots. Turns out it was a Twenty and is in fairly good shape. The liner is yellowed with age and needs to be re-tacked, the hat desperately needs brushing and the ribbon can hopefully be straightened with a bit of steam. The felt takes a crease well, right out of the box. Looking forward to getting to wear this one soon.

Great find S-4-C! A Twenty is a great score and black hats are more versatile than one might think. Most of my old hat liners have yellowing to some degree. You can take that little inside sweatband bow off (it's real easy to sew back in) and give it a couple of minutes soaking in bleach. Makes the inside look a little fresher.

a hat brush, a little steam and patience work wonders on the old hats.
