    Wynewood Hat Company

    There were so many private brand hats along the way. Beaver Brand, Lion, and a couple of others out of that company used size tags like that one but the size tag could have come from a supply company and that may not mean a thing. I do surely agree that they look great and unworn. I can't shed...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Some time in the future someone will be heard to say, "I don't know who that sad guy is singing and playing that guitar but that is one damn fine camel colored Vintage Silhouette hat he is wearing"

    Sandpaper or Emery Paper?

    The post you quote has "3M, wet or dry" I'm not sure if it the tan or black grit makes a difference at that point. Wet or dry sandpaper is the better quality that doesn't as readily allow flaking of the grit media if the paper is bent. I have used whatever I had laying around and saw no...

    Western, anyone?

    Very cool film. Very cool hats, not just Mix's. I am bit surprised at his popularity. I was not aware that western movie stars were so well received in Europe so early in the movie era.

    Cushionaire, Cushioned for Comfort, Comfort Fit, Cushion Comfort, and Air-Vac Sweatbands

    I had a Caxton fedora with the cushion-aire sweatband. I don't have it now and I am unsure of the actual wording as I also think it might have been Comfort-Air. It did have a sweat in great condition and the perforated area was "bubbled" up from the embossing. I had one of the Borsalinos with...

    On Retirement And Hats

    I think Fidelity has a 401K and Roth IRA to 7 3/8 LO conversion program now. They direct deposit some into Paypal and the other gets spread to VS, Gannon, NW, and others as you elect the distributions.

    Keith Maddox...American Hat Company

    Keith was a great man. I met him at a roping and bought a few hats from him at his store across from Billy Bob's. He was always great to deal with. He did good by American Hat Co in bringing them back to something better than they were for decades. RIP ol' cowboy.

    ADAM ALLEY

    Adam Execs have always been an eye catching hat for me. They have that style like a Whippet that I find to be the Iconic fedora style but the Executive may have a tad better felt. Not dissing a Whippet at all as some Whippets seem to have that tad better felt too. Actually Executive is a quality...

    Movie hats

    Motherless Brooklyn With Ed Norton and a few other notables is due out soon. It holds promise of being a hat flick. Bruce Willis is wearing a nice fedora in the trailer. So any word on who is the hat maker for this one?

    How Do You Wear Your Hat?

    I put it on my head and it feels straight n level. I look in the mirror and it has rake and up hill tilt. I have a bad mirror.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    The only place a Whippet isn't a great choice is at a pie throwing contest. The colors of that are great and it looks great on you.

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Get some non-stick cooking spray and spray in your ears. Just kidding. You do need to behave as though you've done that. To develop a sense of self that doesn't rely on approval of others is a great feat and has rewards. Many very successful and creative people succeeded for that reason, their...

    Hats from Texas Department Stores

    That 7XCB is amazing. It looks like you just grabbed it off the shelf at Washer Bros in 1954. What a find!
