HA! There is always a certain gut wrenching anxiety that happens as soon as the first tracking number update is displayed. My favourite is the "Item/Parcel has left originating Country" on date X and one is left wondering if it will arrive in time or fall into abyss of the gravitational black... -

If using courier like UPS, you could always inform them of "self-clearing" thru customs in order to save on brokerage. You have to go to local govt office that acts as port of entry and pay the taxes (make sure to have documents to show accurate price paid, not assessed value (unless assessed... -

The water kind of resets the felt after it dries. If the new pinch is what you want, just wear the hat and treat it the same as before, the felt will soften with use. or you could do this... (skip ahead to 3:17 to see how this dude softens his hat) -

Curious question to any you hat head out there: I was watching a video online, where by a fellow recored the making of a hat by Art Fawcett. In there was a snippet by which Art, while hand pouncing the finish of the felt, said he will repeated apply coconut oil to the felt. Is this something... -

Its nice when the grey's have undertones and highlight shifts. How do you like the 100x? is it stiff or malleable? -

Wow, that hat looks like a real hipster dumpster find, complete with soiled rags and vintage matchstick. Do you think it comes from the box smelling like old railroad ties and stale liquor? If so, that hobo-chique could be worth a fortune. Why, I bet there are plenty of rubes out there with more... -

Thank you Brent, for the detailed information so far. I've reached out to Michael Gannon, and he said for a warm weather hat he'd pounce the felt thin. The 2 1/4 in brim may seem smaller, but on my frame its certainly not stingy. For the Akubra fedora hat I have, I find it suits better for the... -

It's a lovely colour choice, the grey-ish hat. For their 100X felt, which colour felt and ribbon is that? Dapper and understated. -

Thanks for the response, Pellie. I'd love to see a side by side of them some day, as they may be in my wheelhouse, so to speak. Likewise, what briars do you keep warm these days? (pipes are my other weakness, as I see from your tagline, you also may be afflicted. ;-) -

My Fedora's (sydney for usa folk) all came soft, and I much prefer them to the stylemaster. They are not floppy, not stiff, and have a softer fuzzy hand, with a longer nap. I love my modified one. I pretty much live in the hat. I bashed them with water, rather than steam, due to the... -

Curious why I would be disappointed? I've only ever held once a pure beaver hat, at JJ Hat's in NYC in feb 2020. It was a very soft and malleable felt, spanish made hat. Pricey too. Im definitely not looking for a stiff cardboard cutout hat. I had bought an akubra stylemaster last year, and... -

Thats interesting regarding the Gannon hats. I was actually diving thru that site right now looking at the gallery. I like the palette and finishing of the hats. I know pretty much the look of the hat Im going for. 2 1/4 in brim, moderate flange, tallish crown, (not indy style, not my thing)... -

Who ever the collection belongs to is lucky... I just swiped the pic from the lounge post by moontheloon. If that fellow anthony is the owner of said hats, then he has some style. -
