    ADAM ALLEY

    Rodkins, That is an incredible grey hat! Looks terrific on you, great shape. Josh, That is an awesome Adam hat too. The ribbon and wide edge binding make that one cool lid.

    Then vs. Now....

    Thanks Alterego. I have been fascinated with hats since age 2 or 3 and there are pictures of me as a 4 year old wearing a fedora in my sleep. I recall being with my dad in the early 60's when he'd shop and I would handle hats on the old hat trees they had them on in many stores. I had no...

    Then vs. Now....

    What I would really like to know that might lead to some different opinions: Is there anyone here who is "experienced" enough that they sampled and purchased hats 50 to 60 years ago? If so, did they feel as great back then as those same hats do today? My curiosity is do the new factory hats of...

    Custom hat fitting

    I think the tape measuring thing is more difficult to achieve accuracy in with some head shapes. I have a lot of taper in my skull and a slight up or down placement of tape gives different numbers. Wear your best fitting most comfortable hat and then take it off and have someone help with tape...

    First vintage hat: Stetson St. Regis

    I'm liking that Homburg on you and it is a REALLY nice one too. I see the comments about the photo of liner being reversed. You must need to go into your Mac settings for photos. All of your photos are reversed I assume since the bow is on the wrong side and I think some box on table in...

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    Keep it on. If it is an intimate place with lots of personal contact then off it comes. If it is a very public, mostly strangers place then they don't want to see your "hat head" and the worry of taking care of hat with it not on your head makes it more trouble than it is worth.

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

    Yep. I also question why that hat would be $1000 according to the seller.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    The Empire looks great on you. I could lie and say I'm so sorry the Knox didn't fit but I won't! The Knox is a great one and it is on my top 5 list of my hats and the other 4 are westerns. Thanks for selling it.

    Humongous photo on wall of two men wearing fedora's

    The hats (including Edward G Robinson's) all look like Homburg's with little roll on brim. IS that what they are or did fedoras of the pre-war days have more roll at brim edge? I caught the end of an old movie on THIS network the other day and the hats worn by several in that movie looked like...

    Rabbits and Beavers

    I used to think opinions given by politicians were hard to pin down but I now know the X count on hats is by far the most difficult to evaluate. About the only thing you can generalize about X count is that they used to mean a lot more than they do today. For the earliest hatmakers to use X...

    2 fine fedoras on Johnny Depp and Keith Richards

    The photo of those two speaks to me also. The problem is that it says that those two just entered the hallway of some building where shopping carts full of your worldly belongings are not allowed when you enter to use the public showers. Maybe there is a casting call for a re-make of Grapes of...

    Question[s] about a Stetson[s]

    OK, this has to be a mean prank. Somebody puts a well photographed pristine Stetson 100 in my size on here as a $50 find at a second hand store and says they didn't buy it. No address either. Go ahead and tell me you found a 67 Corvette with a 427 and side pipes that an angered divorcing lady...

    Might've left the Tommy gun at home but that arm sure seems to be holding your coat close so the shoulder holster is not obvious....

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    WOW, every time I see one of your shots I move back 6 decades (I wasn't around then) to a time when men dressed with style like you do. That Whippet is so YOU. Looks fantastic teamed with your wardrobe choices.

    New Generation Brims With Anxiety Over Hat Etiquette

    I will state that I am a relaxed etiquette person as it regards hats. My anxiety about hat hair and hat damage is greater than my feelings of offensiveness to others. The hat on my head stands no chance of causing permanent wrinkles or stains on any item of clothing they might have on but me...

    New Swanepoel/Stetsons: "Fewer than 50 of these hats will ever be produced."

    Does anyone have photos of these hats before someone vomited on them?

    Newbie....hello and hats

    I guess that golden era has ended. Persons who can ratchet odometers forward with a properly bent rigid wire with a rubber tip without removing the instrument cluster were obsoleted by digital displays. My highly developed skill to discern true milage from pedal wear, seat track wear, and rear...
