    HUFVUD HATMAKER | Lund, Sweden

    That is a fine looking hat! I have a few silver belly 100% beaver western hats but the one Mike @ NW made for me is a chameleon like this one. I'll look at it and decide it's too light gray/white for my mood or chore for the day and then the next time I look at it I'm shocked at how tan it...

    Considering a Stetson Open Road, what pairs well with it?

    I'm in TX and wear felts year round but limited daytime outside in hot months and that works for me. I have a point of exposure where I do perspire and that point seems to be reached felt or straw in a narrow range. When that happens and the sweatband becomes a sweat gutter and downspout then...

    Western Ranch Outfitters / Stockmens Catalogs

    These old western wear and hat catalogs are beyond amazing. What a snapshot of our past. I have always been puzzled by the Arminto name given to western hats. It is an unicorporated community in Wyoming and I can find nothing about it ever being a noteworthy place. The name was used by several...

    Stetson Factory Video

    Funny, of all the dismembered beaver hats I've had, I have been lucky to never have found a tooth or bone in the felt.

    Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns

    That hat is crazy! Such great condition and prisitine. Sweden!? Some reindeer puncher must have ridden herd wearing that.

    Help with {date or identify} a hat please.....!

    I think I recognize the crown stitching as dental floss coarse handstitch. I've used it on leather car seats and western saddles.

    Western, anyone?

    I still giggle when I go into the bank with a wild rag over my face with my fedora or western hat. The idea that going into the bank masked would ever be required or strongly urged and at the least more cool than bare faced, is nothing I ever dreamed of. I DO NOT go in with my hand in my pocket...

    Anyone ever heard of John The Hatter in Englewood NJ?

    Someone else may have a basis for comparison but from hats I have seen here and others in person, the two hats shown here don't look like one of the branded Beaver Brand, Biltmore, or Hatco produced hats. I know the labeling suggests made in house but the ones we do know to be made for the...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    This Knox is a very special hat. There are loads of great hats on this site but this is one of the hats that makes me stop and view the photos repeatedly to see every possible detail. It looks great on your head too.

    Facebook Marketplace finds

    There is a vintage Stetson Open Road 3X khaki color 7 1/2 on FB if anyone is interested. Not mine, I just spotted it and it is the size some of you need. I don't see a location but it does list shipping.

    Is the vintage hat market dead?

    If AARP sends it offers it is vintage (typed as I look at AARP and other "senior mail" I weeded out of Saturday's mail stack).

    The Stetson One-Hundred "100"

    Did Eric loan you his hat time machine? this looks like one of those hats he finds that are 50-60 years old and have been locked away in a preservation vault.

    Is the vintage hat market dead?

    What movie or show is this GIF from? I find it as a GIF but with no source info. It is a hat show I haven't seen. EDIT: I found it, thank you Google images. Timeless NBC TV show episode.

    Is the vintage hat market dead?

    Times change and the collection of items has changed. I think some of the vintage hat market easing is due to a lot of the hats getting cleaned out of homes as the generation that didn't wear them kept them due to sentimental reasons and then they saw that their get had no interest so they were...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    For the large headed among us:https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1957671721066766/ This is a 7 3/4 7X Resistol open crown in new condition for $135. I can't tell the vintage. It has the rope stamp around sweatband like 60's-70's but I'm unsure if that was something that Resistol did...

    Stetson with part mesh liner

    Yep, it is that liner style. Nothings says the prior owner didn't swap one into the hat. It is a listing in OK and stamped from an old men's store in OK.

    Stetson with part mesh liner

    Did Stetson ever make Royal DeLuxe models with the liner partly made of mesh? The top section is normal printed logo with plastic but the normal vertical surround is mesh. I can't remember seeing anything featured here like it. Ebay item is my source...
