    The Hat Makers Emporium Nutria hat bodies from Etsy

    Nice looking hat body. I guess the Jed Clampett style is not to your liking. I can't wait to hear about it once finished. I am curious as to how it compares to 100% beaver hats made today.

    Show us their hats!

    I love the 100+ year old photos. Looking at those you have no doubt why it became common to say "SMILE!" before taking a photo. Most of those old photos could have been taken in the lobby or parking lot of a pain management clinic. Most looked like they were in pain or a huge family fight was...

    Optimo south side mobsters

    I have, or have had, A Gannon, A Northwest, an Optimo, and a VS. All 100% beaver standard, not the fine belly beaver, and They are very close. I would give my VS the highest score of the ones I have or had. I did not think the Optimo was worth any more. There are differences in the sweatbands...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Yep, I'm glad to call those leather bands in my hats "sweatbands" again instead of "frostbands".

    Western, anyone?

    "Consistent with quality our prices are lowest" uh, that sounds like the hats are cheap like the price. What were (are) Rossett hats like?

    How to travel with hats

    I have traveled with western hats in those domed hat cans and they fit in the o'head bins even in those rattle trap MD-88/Super 80 winged sewer tubes. I have one that is taller and not domed and that one I know would not work in many AC since the domed ones that are shorter fit with little to...

    Hats on TV

    Looks like Optimo supplied that hat. Their already made models on display are majority the low crown with lots of taper. The custom ones seen on this site are not that style

    The Trials and Tribulations of Hat Stiffener

    I have used the Bulls Eye Shellac from Home Depot and Denatured alcohol several times. Very pleased with the results. It can lighten dark hats if you use it heavy. I think if I did a dark hat again I'd go for a higher alcohol percentage. The gunmetal grey 100% beaver I stiffened got some...

    Hats and Funerals

    My last wishes are keep your hat on and the procession goes 10 over the speed limit. I haven't figured out which hat is my bury me in it hat. Actually I'm having trouble with hats I want to be buried with. If reincarnation happens and allows hats to convey to the new soul I'll want to give the...

    Stetson vs. Resistol

    The name and the company has no consistency across many products. The Stetson name is valuable so it had market value. The stetson family lost the company in the late 60's and I don't think that Stetson was made in house past the mid 70's. The name got sold around and the hats were made in St...

    Eric, These gems you come up never cease to knock me out of my chair. You find hats I have never seen. This color combo on this Whippet is nothing short of incredible.

    That stain line at brim breakover line is probably a $350 option feature of a Nick Fouquet hat. Don't tell Ignacio. Nice hat.

    American Hat Co.

    I posted something about American 8 years ago. I have to revise that now. Under Keith's ownership the hats are great. They make a range of fur felts with differing contents or hare or rabbit and beaver. I have a recent 100% beaver and it is a great hat with a very fine sweatband and was made...
