    Post New Hats Here!

    Now, when I went to pick out the hat, a week or two before Thanksgiving, I had looked at some parbuntal straw hats that Mike had found that were 60 year old hat bodies. The hat body was super, super light, and not all that hard shellac that some hats are. I was worried about durability, and...

    Post New Hats Here!

    I actually got two hats today. My custom fedora from Major Mike at Buckaroo Hatters was to be ready today for me to pick out the ribbon. I was between a 12 ligne (medium width ribbon ) and the thinner treatment, I think a 6 ligne. I was able to see each on a hat and for some reason, the...

    whats everyones opinion on 100%wool fedora's?

    Gonna scotchguard tonight. Ribbon too or take it off? I agree, I wont wear my nice hats in the rain or snow, but will use this black wool one. It is a bit warmer than the fur felt initially but boy, I really can feel the difference when I doff my fedora and the wind rushes across my scalp...

    That was the treatment, the Stratoliner one, Thanks. I go back and forth over that treatment and the ribbon in the hat above

    Eric, I agree. However, I go back and forth over whether to get such a treatment on my new Silverbelly being made or to go with the very skinny ribbon with the tie know (like on some hats). What is your thought about the difference between those two ribbon styles?

    Newby to Forum. New hat questions

    How floppy is the liteweight? I mean, my Stetson Saxon is what I consider stiff, and I have a wool Bailey and it is pliable but has some backbone to keep the crease (maybe ironed in for all I know). I read that some get vent holes and keep the liner out to wear in hotter weather, but I have no...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    RBH, love that hat. Got a pic of the side of the ribbon? I am looking at mid sized ribbon treatments to a skinny ribbon (one pic or two above yours shows the little ribbon with a tie on the side) for the hat Major is making for me. I will go up next weekend to finalize that, probably Sunday...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Jonny, I was wondering the same. The more I thought, the more I leaned to the dove and silverbelly or silvermist. Blue smoke and granite are darker and would work with more dress stuff, but to me would be a bit more noticeable or standoutish or severe with lighter colored shirts. That is not...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Bowlerman, nice pics. What black hat is that? I think it looks great in that photo. I have a black wool Bailey which I like but I am thinking of a new black hat and saw a ribbon treatment, called Tuxedo maybe on Falcon Park, that has a cream stripe in the knotting portion of the bow.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Eric and David, your hats always look good on you. And the guy from Mexico. Eric, I am seriously thinking of getting a thin ribbon on the hat I am getting made at Buckaroo. It is in Silverbelly, which Major tells me is more blue leaning than to the brown side, which is a great bit of news...

    Major Moores straw luck

    Wise, got a picture of y ou in that hat with say a suit? Just trying to picture it. PM me if you can to tell me how that hat compares to other Panamas. I go back to Major Mike later this month and he set aside this hat in my size and I feel that bringing a fistful of dollars might be in order.

    Major Moores straw luck

    interesting. but is the Major Mike hat the same stuff as was in that thread? I reread and this is a 60 year old woven body that he already creased up? cool beans. From the thread you referenced, seems as those the 60 year old hat body would be valuable, thus the price.

    Major Moores straw luck

    I was in his shop and tried on my first Optimo crease. The straw was super lite, and not like the straw in my entry level Cuenca from Panama Bob. Straw was more a brown color whereas the Panama Bob is more white. Can anyone tell me if this is a Monticristi, and some benefits or...

    HERITAGE grade Akubra Campdraft in Silver Belly Campaign

    I am thinking of stepping outside the box for a hat. I prefer mostly a fedora that is 2" brim, more business appropriate. However, I did like my Stetson Stylemaster, but it was a fedora look with a brim that was too wide for me. What are the brim sizes on this and what was the price? Is...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    What and where is an explanation of this Lite felt? Same price? Why would one want the lite felt over say a beaver felt or the new rabbit felt Art is using?

    Hats in Jackson Mississippi?

    Good to know Doc Strange as I have the same Stetson. Though I dont get it out in snow much (LOL) and rain but I expect that from time to time I would need it refreshed. I am tempted to get a hat done up with a less wide ribbon and maybe complimentary grey rather than the black ribbon on the...
