    Best felt fedora?

    I might be way off base, but I look at the levels of felt along the lines of music. Some folks are happy with the quality of MP3 and streaming music. They'd be happy with a wool felt hat Some folks want CD quality or slightly better quality. They're happy with Akubra, modern Stetson's and...

    Their prices went up after the first of the year. I agree that pricing might now be on the high side. I'm happy with the work that they did on my 2 hats. JJ Hats were recommended to me by the folks at Delmonico hatter because they no longer do any hat repairs. The options for reliable hat...

    Akubra for Summer?

    I forget which color Stylemaster hat you have. In the 90+ degree weather here in Connecticut, I can't wear my Carbon Grey Stylemaster. But the Acorn Fawn Stylemaster is fine for me. One issue that I have is sweating around the forehead, not the top of my head. I use a fabric addition inside...

    I've had JJ hat center work on 2 of my hats recently. Van, the resident repair expert does great work and he's very helpful. FWIW They're not very fast when it comes to communication via email, but they're great via phone. They have a basic list of repairs and pricing on their website...

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

    I bid on an older (4-5 year's) Akubra Stylemaster Carbon Grey hat size 58 on eBay. It never dawned on me that I'd win it for $45 including shipping. It's arrived and it's in what I'd call like new condition. Packaging was not too bad. My only complaint is that the owner/ seller had steamed...

    As I've gotten older, all the hobby collections (hats, vintage radios and guitars) are now just clutter filling the house. 2020 is my year to declutter the house and simplify things.

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

    I was watching that hat as well. My hesitation was over the seller's confusing color description. It listed it as brown & black. I'll be interested in hearing what color it actually is.

    Akubra Stylemaster thoughts and opinions

    The Stylemasteris a great hat and comes with a teardrop crease. That shape inherently has a lower rear crown. I've been able to modify the heck out of the crease by getting it wet & then slowly reshaping it. I used a spray bottle of water to start with, then steam from a tea kettle. A...

    I need some HAT help!!!!

    I'd recommend you watch eBay for a hat in your price range. An Akubra cattleman might be the right one for you. Only you figure out what works for you in your weather. If you like it, it's a great hat. The dirty little secret is that quite a few folks here have hats collecting dust that...

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    The search function here sucks to put it bluntly. Using Google along with the phrase fedora lounge helps. But you still have to wade through the invalid links to old photos, along with the numerous pages follied with rambling conversations between members that have nothing to do with the...

    Kevin Costner's hat in the Untouchables

    The movie has been running on various channels lately. I've discovered that Kevin wears his hat fedora style up until he arranges to put his wife in seclusion. He gives his hat to the police officer doing the driving. Supposedly to help him avoid being recognized. From that point on in the...
