    Stetson 100-From Blah to Bling!

    I am not seeing any reason for me to be fussed up over this. If the hat needed a new sweat then it already is a numbers not matching hat, to borrow terminology from the car resto biz, and its value is substantially diminished. The brim was not cut down so the hat can be returned to its original...

    I got 90 weight gear oil on a Stetson 100% beaver western silver belly (one on my head in avatar) and used talcum powder to get it out. I was in awe of how well it did. I can't find the spot today and can't smell the rank gear oil smell. I applied and brushed/vacuumed/blew off the talc and...

    Sunbody Hats wants to know...

    +1 for me too. His hat would be the reason I crossed black straw hats off my list of acceptable things that can go on my head.

    Hats and baldness

    I'm not about to quit wearing on the remote chance it MIGHT promote thick hair growth on my scalp. I'd miss all those hat days and maybe not get the hair back either. If I grow the hair back who cares? I'm never giving up the hats.

    So a lady called me a Pimp today....

    You really should stop wearing that white full length fur coat and driving the bedazzled 70's Caddy when you wear your hat.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Years ago on TV shows brim up was an effect they used on characters who were drunk and who would otherwise have brim down. I'm afraid that was imprinted in my brain and brim up still looks wrong to me. Sharp hat (with the brim down).

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Yes, and Stage Coach hats with only an exception or two always had bling on them. Before we even knew it was bling.

    size 9 hat, no lie

    In states where clothing is taxed at a lower rate does a size 9 have to be taxed as a tent or awning instead of an article of clothing? (don't tell the purchaser I said that. PLEASE)

    Vintage Mallory Ten Homburg Size 7 1/4 (NM)

    Given that vintage hats range a bit from marked size, would you say this is a snug 7 1/4 or true? I tend towards a 7 1/8+ and can wear snuggish 7 1/4.

    An Intro to Hat Terminology: A Fedora Lounge Guide

    I wonder if Onionskin really proved to be effective? The sweat could still wick via attachment stitching. Was it a brylcreem barrier more than a sweat "fix"?

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I love the Wellington. I drink the Whippet Kool-Aid and some of the Whippet-like hats are better than the genuine. Yep, you'd better be cozy with the sweater. It will likely be the item your wear under a medium coat by this weekend.

    I distorted the sweatband on a favored but slightly large hat with the foam stuff years back. Since then I use cereal box cardboard or similar and cut strips 1-1 1/4 " wide and put behind the sweatband. I get a full size with a full circle of that or a half size if I do 1/2 and put it in the...

    THE SATIN FINISH/LONG HAIR CLUB

    Would canned air for cleaning computer keyboards not be a possibility? with the nap to clean and then finish with against to stand up the hairs.

    That was a mis-spelling on the seller's part I'm sure. They meant to list it as a Whoopit.

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    I agree. I guess I may be one of those in the minority but I use a less stringent set of "rules". I want you to keep your hat on and I want to keep mine on. I take my hat off in someone's home I do not know. It's off in church unless it's cowboy church where hats are only doffed for prayer...

    Dashboard Confessional -- What Home Remedy Have You Used to Re-Shape A Hat?

    I bought a hat that had been significantly stretched from the marked size. It is a 100x Resistol. I pulled the liner out and then I found a 2 inch wide nylon strap that had D rings on it and I cinched that on the hat and gave it a good pull to squeeze the hat right at the crown-brim break. Now I...
