    stetson el patron???

    They are nice hats but for the $700 or so you'll give unless you go to Ebay and find one (don't see them very often), you'd be much better off and more pleased with a custom hatter's 100% beaver.

    Making Felt Hats Stetsons

    Bob Tallman is the Stetson voice but not the Lucchese voice. I don't recognize the Lucchese voiceover. Bob Tallman has one of those distinctive and believeable voices. He ranks up there with Rex Allen the western singer and voice of so many of the Disney features that showed on the long...

    Stetson Authentic X's

    200x are beaver and mink. 500x are beaver and chinchilla. I'm not sure what the claim is for 1000x Stetsons. I have 100x, 200x, and 500x Stetson westerns and I can't tell any real difference between the 100 and 200 versions but the 500 has a better leather for the sweatband and the felt does...

    Hats In The Car/A Newbie Question

    I don't remove the headrest. I adjust their position in a way not provided due to their fixed mountings (Volvo's do not have adjustble headrests, they know best where it should be).

    Hats In The Car/A Newbie Question

    Forgot to add: The headrest on truck is just low enough to clear brim by 1/2 inch. On my car I modded the headrest for hat clearance. There might be a decreased protection from headrest but that would take an accident to discover. I knew I'd get neck problems 100% certain from the original...

    Hats In The Car/A Newbie Question

    No one mentioned the sun shielding feature of wide brimmed hats. I wear a western, 4 inch brim, hat almost 100% of the time driving. It is so effective at shielding sun. I never use the flip down sun visor and a slight tilt of the hat and you have perfect blockage that is so much more targeted...

    A few questions

    The Resistol/Stetson outlet is NE of Dallas in Garland. IS that too far to go?

    Fixing my new whippet...

    Isn't the stitching on that Whippet brim due to the edge binding wrapping around more to the top than the bottom? In this case the edge stitching seems to be done on the short wrapped edge and then the long wrapped end is pulled over edge of felt and covers the first stitched row. Then the long...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Please give us a little more, pictures of the liner and sweatband would be key to pinning this one down. Stingy brim and the appearance probably means a 60's vintage. It looks great on you!

    Post New Hats Here!

    WOW Billy! The hats are EXTREMELY nice and the Jack Paar stand is awesome. Please model the Marston when it is convenient, that looks like quite an unusual one. I need to get a shot of the Adam hat factory in Dallas and send to you since you seem to mildly fond of Adam hats. :)

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    The passengers on the train have got to love it when you pull the collar up and that hat down like that! Sort of a Phantom-esque appearance.

    How to remove odors from a hat?

    The contained baking soda and newspaper methods have worked great for me. Fabreze method worked but the Fabreze fragrance that remains bugs me even 2 never-in-a-box years later.

    Hat Jack vs other stretchers?

    I did a 20 minute hatstretcher. Used two pieces of scrap 2X4, 4 inches of 3/8 inch all-thread, 3/8 nut and 3/8 flat washer. I took my best fitting hat (a stiff western) and a short piece of a pencil. I laid the 2x4 piece over the hat and used the pencil pushed against the sweatband and up...

    Steamer or kettle?

    I wasn't clear, the alternatives to the Jiffy that make steam are the water spitters.

    Shutter Island

    The upcoming Scorcese/DiCaprio flic seems to have some sharp lids shown in the trailers being shown around. Anyone know who holds claim to be the hatter for this movie?

    Wearing Suit with Straw Hat or Fedora

    In other words, if you won Houston and Hell, you'd sell Houston and buy new furniture for Hell? :D

    Steamer or kettle?

    I have used Jiffy's on many occasions but don't own one. What I have fashioned that seems to be its equal is an aluminum foil "funnel" that I place over a good sized pot (5-6 quarts or even bigger) with a hole at the small end of about 1 1/2 inches. The larger pot has ample surface area and the...
