    The Best Custom Western Hat maker!!!

    There are lots of choices in western hat makers. The choice might be narrowed if we knew what you want and expect in your hat. Are you after a vintage look or a contemporary western hat? Are you going for a hat to wear with period clothing to be a period authentic hat or are you going to dress...

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

    I love those! Ear muffs for the dedicated hat person who refuses to give up his/her fedora in order to wear more covering headwear. Of course Stetson would market these.

    Looking very classy with the new lid. The brim width looks very good for your face shape. Good choice!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Fate intervened to let this remain with you. That is a great lid and it looks so RIGHT on you. If Stetson were to bring back the Whippet, they could hardly find a better advertisement than this photo.

    Curling a brim

    Yes, push down to apply some pressure and move the spoon laterally around the brim and also radially so there isn't a "trench" around brim but just the smooth curl that a flange would impress into the felt were one to be used.

    Curling a brim

    You need: 1. steam, I prefer a boiling pot of water with an inverted funnel made of aluminum foil. Tea kettle's spout creates a pressure drop that condenses steam back into water and spits it onto hat, "free range" steam is best and is what the pro steamers make. 2. stainless steel tableware...

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

    OK, does anyone know if Bernanke is watching lid prices on Ebay? I think we may have found the new yardstick for economic recovery. I think Whippets over $400 means the economy is sound and is recovering well.

    Pavlovian response?

    I am wondering if any of you, maybe how many of you, have developed conditioned responses to the mail persons and other package delivery persons? I get almost giddy at the sight of postal delivery trucks and brown UPS trucks. I almost invited the UPS guy and his family for Christmas dinner...

    The cool thing about always wearing a hat is...

    I TOTALLY agree! I have found it is very hard to effectively shampoo my head if a hat is worn in the shower. I also have found that my creases get bashed and my bashes get creased if I lay down to sleep without first removing my hat. When riding a bicycle it is advised to remove hat as the...

    Hat etiquette for *today*

    I have a differing view on this issue. I am not opposed to civility but there are things that evolve in time and many facets of etiquette need to do this as well. I find "hat head" FAR more offensive than a left on hat indoors. My understanding of the root of hat removal indoors is that it was...

    Self confessed hat addict checking in

    Welcome! Hat addiction is an illness for which I need nor want any cure! I hope you feel the same. I really like your username here. I wish I had been so clever to have coined it!

    Surprised

    I have had very few goofy comments over my years of wearing hats. I get good comments semi-regularly. I have some friends/acquaintances that wear hats infrequently and they have lots of experiences with catty comments. Not to be arrogant, mean, etc. but these friends/acquaintances look goofy in...

    What is the snow load rating for that wide brimmed Akubra? Looks like it would catch a lot! Great hat!

    "factory error"? or is this normal.

    I have several hats that were open crown models that were not factory shaped, mostly westerns but there were open crown or little shaped crown fedoras, where the person doing the bash didn't set it perfectly straight in relation to the sweatband. Probably not a second.

    Hats on TV

    Thanks Lefty, you stopped me from violating one of the rules my momma (yes I'm from the deep South) raised me to obey: if you can't say something nice don't say anything.

    What is your go to hat?

    [/CENTER] Mario, These two are great. A couple of very classy and stylish lids with excellent bashes and brims. It will be hard to top these two for the next decade (but don't stop trying).
