Question on Winchester Felt Beaver vs Rabbit I know this topic has been discussed but I am looking for anyone that did a direct comparison from any of the custom hatters that made them a lightweight hat (extra pouncing) that could provide a 1:1 apples to apples comparison of the felt. In... -

Thanks Belfast and Bob for the reply. I may contact Mike....I am guessing a reblock with 2 way shipping is going to be in the $50-75 range as Bob mentioned, added cost to a hat for sure. -

This is good to know that to toquilla straw hats can be re-blocked to the desired shape. Does anybody know if it is cost effective for lower priced hats? I know you have the 2 way shipping costs but does anybody have a rough idea of the cost involved? -

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
I don't know much about borsalinos nor any of their sub brands/lines ideally I would love to find a thin ribbon 40s vintage (wide brim, high crown) but unfortunately they appear to demand a premium and are highly sought after. Regardless my question is putting style aside which borsalinos... -
