    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    Wearing my new Wigens Gregor "grey / Melange wool cap today. Bought it a week or so ago from Delmonico hatter. While it's 100% wool, I'm amazed at how cool it is even in warmer temp's. You'll see 3 linen caps on the table in the background drying after a Woolite washing. [emoji16] Sent from...

    Bailey hats.

    I seem to gravitate towards Bailey's because they're really affordable and they can take a beating. I've got a Stetson Chatham for dressier occasions. But my Bailey's are my everyday hats and caps. I can own Bailey's in different colors and styles for what I'd pay for 1 other brand.

    Hat Cleaning Repair & Restoration: Where?

    FWIW. Delmonico hatter only does basic cleaning and steaming now. They no longer offer hat re-flange & restoration. Dave

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

    Is Bailey & Bruno Capella the same company? Or is this another confused eBay seller? I don't think I've ever seen a Bailey hat with bound edges on the brim.

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

    I'm a bit confused about this hat on eBay. Label inside the hat clearly says Bailey. It's lined inside, so it's not a lite felt hat. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-Wool-Swing-Style-Hat-Made-By-Baileys-FREE-Shipping/293177496843 But the seller also lists Bruno Capela. I've submitted an offer...

    Another question regarding the Stetson Chatham's. Mine is 12 years old and is a Sovereign in brown. I was searching for a new one in grey. I've noticed that the new versions are now Royal Deluxe. Are the Royals more or less flexible than the Sovereign's?? ie, snap brim factor? Sorry for...

    I've got a 12 year old Stetson Chatham Sovereign that's developed some minor staining on sections of the brim. They're probably from my hand oils over the years. Any recommendations for something that might remove them?

    How many hats do you have...?

    I've got 3-4 fedora's & pretty close to a dozen various style of newsboys. Some of the caps are permanent dust collectors in the closet & they seemed like a good idea when I purchased them. Some of them are there because I changed my opinion on how I thought they looked on me & others because...

    Thanks, your method differs from what I was told in the past from hat store clerks. I was told to stuff tissue into them or an old t-shirt when they're not being worn to maintain their shape.

    The Cap Faction

    Posting this question here for the cap fans to respond. I've seen lots of articles and video's on proper hat storage, but none address storing caps. How does everyone store their caps to maintain their shape? I typically toss mine onto a closet shelf. Linen ones get worn during the summer...

    I lived on Guam for almost 4 years. I ran a dehumidifier in the apartment to keep the humidity and mold away from my guitar and belongings. Here in Connecticut, my 3 guitars stay in their cases when the dew points go over 70. In the winter time, I have to run humidifiers to keep the humidity...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    The reactions I get depend on which hat I'm wearing. If I'm wearing a fedora, it doesn't matter if it's western looking or not, I'll get- "where's your horse?" comments. I get a lot of "Nice hat" or "Looking pretty Dapper, today" comments when I'm wearing my newsboys.

    Isn't the Stetson Temple a new name for their original Indiana Jones hat? Kevin@ JJ Hats has a nice video of the latest Stetson hats.
