I just paid for my Schoble Superiore today. I'll post pics when it arrives. These were great hats that were manufactured in Philalephia PA right near to Stetson. The company made great hats for a long time. Steven... -
Size 8-1/8 head. Really. Not kidding.
The only production hat made today that is bigger than a size 8 is Biltmores 8 1/4 . We stock them in black and gray with a 2 1/2" brim. It looks like Stetson's Temple. Steven... -

Where to find white fedoras?
We get calls for white hats all of the time. Its just a real pain for the companies to make white. It involves a lot of work to clean the machinery. At most , they will make a few dozen a year while an average factory will make thousands of darker colors. Has anyone asked Art if he can make a... -

Where to find white fedoras?
There are two companies left that can make a true white hat. Borsalino and Biltmore. I just received two white hats that I special ordered from Borsalino for a good customer. They were perfect in color. It is a lot of work as the production dept has to clean the machinery to make this color... -

Hasidic Jews and the Fedora
Believe me , I am happy that most of my customers want only black hats. I can only imagine what it would be like if the religious community still wanted blue and gray hats. We have so many different variations on the black hats pertaining to the brim widths and the different size bands. If we... -

Are there no hatters in Europe???
Hatters in Europe First, I will have to say that this was one of the most interesting and informative threads in a long time that I have seen. I had no idea that there were that many hatters left in Europe. I know that countries like England and Germany as well as Italy still have a few decent... -
Getting a hat blocked in New York?
Analogist is right about reblocking . Here in Brooklyn USA we sell thousands of black hats . When I have to block a tan colored hat , my heart trembles . I dont want to stain the hat as the the blocks are completely black from 60 years of use. As for changing the leather sweatband , I have a... -

I'm looking for a straw, stingy brim pork pie hat..
I think that Biltmore does make a milan with a smaller brim but in a 7 3/4 it might not be proportioned. The crown might be too high. 1 7/8" is not a big brim. Steven www.bencrafthats.com -

Rare Whippet?
That hat was produced in the early 1980's by Stetson. It bears no resemblense to the original Whippet and had a very low crown. I have one of them in my store in navy blue . Very ugly hat if you ask me! Steven... -

Stetson "Nostalgia"? (now with pics)
Yes , Analogist did see a sample hat ! It is a Soverign quality hat with a bound edge . We will ordering the hat this way in two colors for the fall. Stetson could make the hat in their Pinacle (beaver) body but I think that most people would not pay 325.00 for a hat . At 140.00 , the Soverign... -
