    Newbie....hello and hats

    Hmmm, Sand Mountain area. You probably have friends/relatives who know about odometers, bondo, and cleaning car titles. No offense meant, I have relatives from that area that individually know something about at least one of those three things. When I was teen I'd go the SM Auto Auctions with...

    HOMGURG HERESY??

    I can see all sides to this but I think the one that carries the most weight is the OP's statement of having one like it already and liking and wearing fedoras more. It seems there are ample Homburgs and they go for little as there seems few buyers and bidders. An ugly behemoth of an old car...

    How do you "mark" your hat as yours?

    It's on my head so it must be mine. You can have my hat when you pry it off my cold dead head. They made me take it off when I had rotator cuff surgery but they gave me a couple of those personal property bags and I borrowed the skin marker and put my name on bags. I guess if I trusted them...

    Head Shape Poll

    lop-sided egg shape extra long oval. Ain't no such thing as a flat -brimmed hat once it conforms to my noggin. Of course a custom conformateur patterned lid might fix this but I am no gaucho or Nevada Buckaroo and therefore have no need for flat brims.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Besides, when you're wearing those VS's of yours who is looking at your face? :p

    Vintage Shrinkage: a little help...

    Your mistake was taking it off. Get it sweaty, wear it to bed, always works. Either your hat stays sized or your head ends up with a hat depression guaranteed to keep a lid on in a Texas windstorm.

    The modern cowboy hat

    yes, that's it. cutter's pulled their hats down to keep 'em on during a ride and the dents would end up there. Someone decided it needed to be creased there to start with.

    The modern cowboy hat

    I have several fedoras and wear them on occasion but western felts are my favorite and are worn daily, even most summer days even if only during the evening or morning. I see posts here and I think most of us find a shape and style we like and most of our hats end up in that shape and our new...

    A STEAL OF A HAT

    You need to get one of the Stetson hat ad posters that shows the torso down to the feet of a man in front of gallows who has been hung. A stetson is on the ground. The large print below is "Never Steal A Stetson"

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

    The way the wind tether has the center bow piece bunched up is way cool. I have never seen that or thought of doing that with the buttonend.

    How many hats is enough?

    If you have to call 911 to come get you out of your house after that last one arrived, then you have one too many. Or you move to a bigger place.

    20 Things You Should NEVER Buy Used

    I recall getting a brand new freezer and when it was rolled in a roach ran out of it when the handtruck sat it down prior to pushing it into its place. Thought nothing of it until a week later when roaches were everywhere in a home where none had ever been spotted. SO much for new and cootie-proof.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Great hats! To be sure they actually suit you, we need photos with you wearing them to be sure they actually look better than that little red number you were sporting recently. :rolleyes:

    Billy give that monkey its hat back! How will the organ grinder ever make any money if you've got the hat his monkey collects change in? Besides, I think it is just a wee bit out of range to be stretched for you. I know it is an Adam hat though.

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

    I'm printing this and putting it up on my pantry and refrigerator as a weight loss aid. If this photo doesn't make you ill and lose your appetite, then nothing would! (sorry if I offended anyone who collects fuzzy multi-colored homburgs, I guess we all are entitled to our own "flair")

    Hmmm... In this shot instead of moonshiner and patrons, the group looks like revenuers. Really great photos. Really great hats.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I know I am a teensy-weensy bit prejudiced but how could anyone with a grain of class look through the photos in this thread and not want a fedora? OK, there might be the odd Rastafanarian whose dreadlocks would clash, but all the others should definitely want a classy lid covering their cranium.

    I'm glad Billy saved that hat. Leaving your felt fedoras sitting around that close to the heavily chlorinated pool on the edge of a table is making me nervous!! Great colors and I can't wait to see it modeled once you've received it and put your touches on it. Congratulations on the recent...

    You know where Slapout is??? Yep, I grew up in Prattville but ran around Millbrook and down in Pike Road. Passed through Holtville/Slapout on the way to the lake.
