I love successful rehab stories! Pristine hats are nice for sure, but I love the dirty, crushed neglected, "Mutt" hats that clean up surprisingly well -
Justified FX Hat
Justified was one of my favorites.... A few years back when I was clearing out my Dads house in Knoxville, I found one of his old hats.. A semi cheap 3x Master Hatters of Texas Cattleman from Cavendars with a 4 1/4" brim. It was in the bottom of a box with an old VCR and a half dozen pair of... -
The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
After finding an article online about the famous archer Fred Bear and one of his Borsalino fedoras, Ive got my curiosity up. From what Ive read he bought all his hats From Harry the Hatter in Detroit ( as well as some gift hats he ordered for people that were just like his). I sent their... -
What hat are you waiting for today?
Back in 1975 I spent a summer of temporary duty at the Rifle range at Quantico, Va helping familiarize young potential Officer types with things that went bang. A buddy of mine loaned me one of his pressed fiber sun helmets while I was there. (Temperatures and sun in virginia can be brutal in... -

USPS Ground Advantage Gripes
Not make light (because ive seen the exact issues many times... I feel the pain), But I got in a habit of gambling with myself. If something gets here quickly and in great shape, I grill up a steak and pop open a Shiner Bock or Stella Artois. If it goes missing or doesnt get here on time, I... -

Big round of thunderstorms just about to hit here this morning. Wearing the new Sage Hemp Stratoliner for when I have to run out and fire up the generator. ( And just because its new and I want to lol) It feels a bit more substantial than some of my lighter straws and I like it. Trying to... -

VINTAGE/ANTIQUE HAT STRETCHERS
Had an interesting chat with an old appliance repairman at the coffee shop this morning. Showed him some pictures of the J&L hat stretcher, and he wanted to see it. Ran by the house and he said the cord coverings and the plug cover material ( rubber), as well as the Bakelite wirenuts underneath... -
