I agree! I wish we had the counsel of someone who was involved in the felting business.
My experience is with westerns much more than dress but the 100% beaver felt grade does not assure the best hand or durability in every case.
Shellac is another thing that can vary the tactile quality of the...
"walking along by himself like he owned the world", "thought that he also does some security work in Little Italy", Hmmmmmmmmm.
Security work or "Security" work?
You might be prepared to kiss his ring.
I'm from those parts (35 mi north) and I've heard that crease called the Fort Worth too. I figured it was a hat crease named after a period of severe drought in Fort Worth and there was no water for hat steamers. Every time I see one I want to grab it and head for the nearest Jiffy steamer.
I hope someone corrects me if I am wrong.
My take on this custom hat thing is for some of the hatters there is a basic hat body that they get from felter and they block, flange, pounce, trim, bind, line, and sell. In any of those steps listed there is a lot of room for variety and for...
Who is Dave Brown? Why is he mad about Baron's hats being taken a bit to task over the PE hat claim?
I'm lost maybe.
I have a couple of Stetson western premiums and it says inspected by Nancy Jackson behind sweatband. Who is she and what the hell was she doing looking at my hat?
Don't we all...
I was watching HOT network, one of the free airwave TV channels that the digital switchover provided.
They show old TV shows and THE LAWLESS YEARS came on. Burt Reynolds as a very young thug in a very high crown center dent mid-ribbon bound edge of about 2 3/8 brim I'd say. It is in black and...
The big issue I see with the shipping charge as sales price thing is that you lose all protection afforded through Ebay as buyer. I bet the current stated rules are easily hidden behind when you buy something for $.99 with $99.00 shipping and then see it is not as described and you seek remedy...
Am I the only one that thinks Disneyland should be a place full of Disney hats?
And then there is Stetsonland, AdamLand, MalloryLand, etc.
I guess there already is an OptimoLand and a BuckarooLand and a VSLand.
The bad part is those last three would be just like going to the current DisneyLand...
Does the saying I've heard many times in my life apply? (a slang word has been replaced to preserve the sanctity of this place)
"Why have you got two of those? Is that one to defecate on and one to cover it up with?
It is futile to try to give meaning to the X rating system. I'm no too sure it has ever made sense except for one manufacturer for one season. Then you add the nomenclature where there is no X mentioned. I think any of these are upper grade hats for their day as the mention of price was status...
