    Falcon Park Hattery

    I will let you know tomorrow about the top stiching. Wore my Buckaroo today. And the granite color is lighter than the Saxon in Caribou and markedly lighter, that is, you can tell they are not the same variant of gray, but it is not nearly what I call a light color, if that makes sense.

    Themed Collections

    Case, Sam right? What a neat thing to do. I had read about History's hat while it was being made and thought what Cane Rod did was so special, so thoughtful, wow. I had seen the Max hat before and remarked that it was unique and I am a blue kinda guy - my favorite color. But that Greta...

    I let Parker do his work on the stitching. I never even thought of it to ask!

    parbuntal straw hats

    I too have a Buckaroo Hat done up by Major Mike. Some shots I have never worn an Optimo style hat, and do have a Panama Bob. This hat is so light, wow, it is not paper thin, and not too shellacy (my word I guess) but just feels right. I was undecided about what ribbon...

    Post New Hats Here!

    I took receivership of a hat that Parker made for me. I had read Mon's threads from say January and also Alive n Amplified as well. I wanted a hat similar to AnA's hat but not a true copy and like Monk, was going back and forth between granite and charcoal and sometimes steel. I have a...

    Can a hatmaker smooth out and make a thinner feeling hat from a hat already made?

    Wow, no, a little bit too involved. I love the hat. The ribbon works for me, and with the shim behind the sweatband, fits perfectly. I have learned painfully that trying to take something that say is 90% perfect and make it 100% perfect can render the item less than when it was 90%!! It...

    Can a hatmaker smooth out and make a thinner feeling hat from a hat already made?

    I dont have much experience with custom hats, in fact, the only custom I had was a Buckaroo Hat. That hat is what I judge my others by. I have a Stetson Saxon and another hat I recently acquired. The Buckaroo feels warm, whereas when I put the Stetson on, that sweatband seems like it has...

    Love that VS, the ribbon treatment is unique and I like the dimensions on you and the edge binding.

    Luggage

    I read a lot of nice stuff about Red Oxx. Some reviews I have read said to avoid wheels since you have escalators, walking conveyers, unevenness on asphalt, curb cuts, etc, and they take up extra space and room in case you do have to check luggage and exceed 50 lbs.

    Who will trade me some books - Nonfiction for the most part

    I have my Kindle and like using it, but I also will bring books to the office with me. I have a few books, many John Grishams, some more recent nonfictions, and always want to read up on historical figures, current pop culture people (the new Rod Stewart one), and maybe history (the recent...

    Surprises you encounter when talking hats with others

    Hatophile, yeah, me too. Fashion Frank had a pic of his lady in a red hat, looked fantastic. There is a lady who sits in front of me at church who has taken to wearing some Annie Hall-style hats, and she looks good in them, I think she has two, and I don't know if my wearing my hat has...

    Surprises you encounter when talking hats with others

    Today, I was roaming the foyer of our office building, heading down to the grill at the front of the building to grab a bite to bring back to the office. One of the men who clean up the offices after hours sometimes comes in early to clean out bathrooms and, well, who knows why he was here at...

    Choosing the Correct Hat for your Body Type

    I also subscribe to you wear the hat, not the other way around. Also, I can not tell you how invaluable it was for me to go to a hatter and let them give you several hats to play with. I ordered an Akubra Stylemaster off the net, after I bought a Stetson Saxon locally. I tried on like 2 dozen...

    Most inconvenient places to be a hat wearer

    Same here, and I don't feel too bad if it is a chain restaraunt, like Outback, Chilis. I see ballcaps all the time. Now, I will try to put it in a chair or the rest of the booth seat if at all possible but if not, I'll leave it on. Someplace super nice, like Ruth's Chris, I will usually be...

    Men - Boxer briefs and trunks - anything to keep the leg from riding up

    That is what I am going to do. I ordered three pair of Saxx brand off Amazon since they were $9 each instead of $27 each at the Saxx website. I am guessing that this is last year's model? No fly on these and they have a modal/cotten blend with the spandex. My Jockeys are 80% polyester and...
