I too am cheap, persistent and a bit obsessive....been spending hours a day (too much time) searching but the right hat which I have yet to find except for some cheap wool hats that I won't bother to mention. The search continues.....thanks.
Thanks for the tip, I have been checking out etsy but...
Thanks for the detailed post! Actually I am in the middle of reading 87 pages of the "M.C. Gannon Hat Company" posts....some really nice hats for sure. I will also take a look at the other customs when I get done with this thread....thanks again.
Tips on finding a decent vintage fur felt?
I only have one real hat worth mentioning a Stetsonian in Mink thanks to a fellow TFL member (thanks Moon!!). Real nice hat to me compared to my other unmentionable Fedoras, being that is a 100 times nicer than the others I use them as my daily...
I was looking for another daily "beater". The ebayer had a couple left for like $25 definitely a wool and if I recall some fur felts. However colors, style, size etc is extremely limited (only couple left from the 100s and 100s he already sold that were purchased when beaver brand shut its...
In search of a fourth hat....beaver brand?
Been spending many hours on ebay looking for another fedora to add to the rotation. I was wondering if anybody by chance had the opportunity to buy a "beaver brand" hat from a seller on ebay who pretty much purchased all the hats (100s and 100s) after...

The Stetsonian arrived today. WOW....definitely an awesome hat. Love the color (mink), fit, style/dimensions, feel etc. Thanks Anthony for the hat and getting it shipped out fast. Everyone else thanks again for the suggestions....definitely agree "get the Stetsonian and don't look...
Those prices actually include shipping. Regardless I did go ahead and pull the trigger on Moon's Stetsonian! Who knows maybe my next hat would be a Fed IV in tawny. Thanks all for the feedback.
I am having difficulties narrowing down my First Fur Felt purchase. In comparison of these hats strictly new: Hats direct (approx. cost with shipping) Fed IV $125 Fed IV deluxe $155 Stetson Stetsonian $200 shipped (discounted from retail). I know the Stetson has the bound edge. I am trying to...
Thanks Bob Roberts and Frunobulax. I agree, real nice hat. Seems like "similar" dimensions as the Fed IV but with a bound edge to me giving it a more vintage look? I originally was looking for a hat in tawny like the Fed moon sold but the Mink may be a more versatile color. Can anyone tell me if...
Thanks for the advice! I have read some of the horror stories regarding ebay on this forum especially for used hats. My wool hats I bought new on ebay with a positive experience from an older gentleman who closed down his hat store in Colorado after 25 years due to health reasons. Nice guy, but...
Definitely some nice lids! I can't believe I missed out on the Akubra Fed IV deluxe....exact hat, color and size I have been looking for!!!! The Stetsonian and Dobbs have caught my eye. I am new to posting to the forum (just posted in the hat section for a recommendation for a fur felt fedora).
I have been enjoying the fedoralounge forum for a while and appreciate the diverse knowledge base, opinions, expertise etc. (thank you all). The forum and it’s contributors definitely have inspired me and recently helped me purchase some “vintage inspired” clothing in the last several weeks...
