Western, anyone?
Billy Kidd was an Olympic Silver medalist in the 60's and then won some other world competitions of that era. He wore hats when not competing. He was a promotional person for Stetson and they did a few hats with his name on them. I think the hat line with his name was done in the 70's.- suitedcboy

Buckaroo Hat Bodies??
Please no talk of shearing fur. I most surely do not want to be out in the wild and come up on a creek with castor canadensis chewing on tree trunks or swimming while wearing Speedos.- suitedcboy

Is there a muskrat hat in your future? The brown fedora looks great. You had to be the best hatted hunter on that lake in quite some time.- suitedcboy

Hat etiquette at casino?
What casino hat etiquette? The only rule in the casino biz is to say yes to anything that makes someone want to gamble and lose money. I guess there is another rule: they do not allow you to do anything that makes others who are gambling and are losing money to want to stop doing that.- suitedcboy

Buying Above or Below One's Hat Size: What's Re-doable?
I have bought undersize and oversize many times on vintage and relatively new hats. Oversize by one size works very well in the long run and undersize causes me problems. The stretched shrink back when worn and sweated in, get taper I do not like, break sweatband seam, and too often end up with...- suitedcboy

Western, anyone?
I have several 100% beaver westerns. O'Farrell, Shorty's Caboy Hattery, Dorer's, and the factory made Stetson, Resistol, Bailey, American, and Beaver Brand. The behaviors of the felt is very equal but the finish, feel, and sweatbands vary. My Dorer is a black and is 10 or more years old now. It...- suitedcboy

Hat Juggling
You don't think several people on here don't juggle hats like that many mornings trying to decide which to wear? Maybe not exactly that method of juggling. I have had 3 or 4 hats out, one on vanity, one on toilet tank, one on closed toilet seat, and one on my head. Look in mirror, juggle...- suitedcboy

DUH!!!!!!!!!! I have seen this "Chief Deputy of Forensics. The Fedora Bureau of Investigation." several times and thought, "hmm, I think that is sort of risky identifying yourself as an FBI employee but that sounds like a cool job". Good tag line Ale.- suitedcboy

Size Reduction??
I have gotten two sizes by wetting and using hot air to shrink. The only side effect I saw from doing this in a couple of hats was stiffening of the felt as it seems that shrinking occurs due to the hairs contorting in such as way as to thicken the felt in that area. If the crown has taper (the...- suitedcboy

The Best Custom Western Hat maker!!!
I have a Limpia Creek 50X on Ebay for sale and I recently won a 100% beaver Shorty's on Ebay. I have several 100% beaver westerns and Shorty's is in the top tier of them. Quality of the felt, liner, sweatband, and buckle set on the self felt band are all great. Finish of the felt is great too...- suitedcboy

Is it a clever device to prevent pinch wear-through? I can see it preserving shape and stopping the sharp pinch that might lead to accelerated wear from repeated handling.- suitedcboy

Post New Hats Here!
New-To-Me Borsalino. Astoundingly light hat, as has been remarked upon many times before. The overwelt brim is only 2 1/4", but it feels well balanced and proportionate to me. It had this doohickey sewn into the front of the hat, but I removed it, as it kept me from attaining the shape I...- suitedcboy
