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

    I have a similar Stetson that has amazing felt. The stingy brim is not my favorite, but that hat gets a decent amount of head time.

    I’d wear it just so I could tip it and flash that liner!

    A hat for every occasion?

    Interesting thread. As my collection has grown, I have noticed that some hats are gravitating to more specific uses. Right now, I’m trying to decide which hat to wear on our Thanksgiving trip, since it will involve smoking the turkey with my son. I have a couple of hats that have been go-tos...

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    Akubra Fed IV with a Chocolate Lava Cake Stout from State of Brewing, Wisconsin. This brew holds up well after a night out with some of the finest local stouts, and it is truly evocative of its namesake.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I used one of the strips that came with a new Stetson (on an older hat); I wish I hadn’t. It was the adhesive foam, essentially the same as weatherstripping. It is too thick and causes the sweat band to pucker, and there is no way to remove it without damaging the sweat. My go to now is felt...

    Sunglasses that work well with a Fedora?

    The size and shape of the frames depends on your face shape, but for me it’s Wayfarers. I also have the new Wayfarers. My optometrist had a great price on the new lightweight frames (I have to have Rx sunglasses).

    I’m into two rooms now. My wife is noticing, and I don’t think I can encroach on the guest room.

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    KBS is one of my favorite stouts. I have a Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa KBS that I am saving for the right evening. Pliny the Elder is truly a grail beer! I have been fortunate to have one (only one) as they are not available in my area.

    Thanks, Alan. I consulted the thread, and it was quite interesting. I was not aware of this piece of history.

    Yes! It is. The “Whipped Fedora” is what caught my eye. Please tell me more about this Plastic Felt. I saw the pieced construction, and thought it was a modern, low-end hat. Instead of laughing, should I be bidding?

    Very unusual and attractive color. The ribbon is a perfect complement.

    Thanks, Al. I would have preferred a brown Fed IV, but this one is in like-new condition so it was a no brainer. I have a touch of the OCD as well, so I am still working on the brim on the Dobbs. It’s shantung, but it’s a softer, more pliable shantung than I’m used to. As for the Bond, I was...

    This is a bit confusing, or maybe disturbing. Someone should buy it just so it can be rescued.
