The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Borsalino Alessandria I picked this up about a month ago; just getting around to posting it. Darn I love this hat. I see what all the hype is about on the older Borsalino felt. I dry creased this hat with ease. It amazed me how easily it will shape, and how well it holds the shaping...- Cane Rod Maker

The Conversion Corral
I would assume that with a block, you can take a western, say with a Cattleman's crease, and re-block it. I ask because I just got a block, flange and stand and want to try doing a few conversions before I make a lid for my self. Any imput appreciated. Thanks !- Cane Rod Maker

vintage hats
I'm a 7-3/4 and I find that size very rare to come across on E-bay, especially older ones. You can try posting a WTB classified ad and you might get lucky. At any rate, if the 7-3/4 is a bit snug for you, just get yourself a cheap hat strecher and open the lid up to your size. You'll need to...- Cane Rod Maker

Question about a Borsalino Milan.
I got this hat in today, when I took off the pug, I noticed this weave pattern that vents the sweatband area of the hat. Was this the way the hat came off the shelf, meaning w/o a pug? What can anyone tell me about this? Thanks !- Cane Rod Maker

First "Real" Hat
I agree, try some hats on and see what you like and what size you are. My first 2 hats were Millers, I sold them after I got a taste of vintage. And I reckon I wasted 300 bucks... The felt comparison' at least in my opinion, with the Millers they do not come close to the qulaity of an old...- Cane Rod Maker

How often do you wear a hat?
I have been wearing one as long as the weather has permitted me to do so; and I do wear one every day to work; but now that I finally got a vintage straw in my size, I finally have year round opportunity.- Cane Rod Maker

My new toy, oh boy.....
I think I can re-block with this too...?? So if I get hats with big brims near my size; my hopes are I can re-block; I will lose brim width of course, but if I can get hats to finish up with 2 1/4 " + in brim width; I'll be very happy. Just need a flange I guess to shape the brims after the...- Cane Rod Maker
