Proper hat maintenance for rookies...HELP!!
Laying a hat on the brim "depends". Most westerns have a dipping shape to the brim that setting them down on the brim will distort. That is why most say to always put western hats down on the crown. Fedoras can flip their brims up & have a lot softer crowns typically than westerns. Putting... -
When do Cuban cigars become legally available in the US?
I've had good & bad Cubans like I've had good & bad DR, Nicaraguans, Hondurans & Mexican. Had some fine smokes out of Key West, too.

The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.

Pencil roll/Kettle curl: How much brim width do you lose..?
My Boss of the Plains by Art uses a lot less than 1/2" of brim for a pencil curl edge. More like 1/4" at most. I'll measure for true later... -
FS: Eastman ELMC Californian American Walnut Size 44
I thought a size 44 would be closer to 24 pit to pit (24 x 2) - 4 = size 44 A 22" pit to pit measurement would be a size 40. Or is that just for US sizes???- gtdean48

Akubra kiandra
My pleasure Pete. To pad my lids, I go to craft dept of Wally World & buy white felt squares for about 50 cents each. I cut these in strips & put behind the sweatband. They don't bleed dye when you sweat.
