    Aero leather choices - FQHH, mid-weight horse or goat

    The mid-weight horse gets my vote. I have FQHH from Aero in 50s HB, a jerky HH from AL & a goat from Magnoli. Weight & suppleness goes to the jerky HH. Love the patina of the FQHH but it is substantial compared to the jerky HH.

    The Diamond Authority

    Knox 100 should bring well over $100 if the right size. For me, a 100 by most vendors is on par with 100% beaver custom if in decent shape. Whether you get knowledgeable buyers for that size on your listing is a crap shoot...

    Last Man Standing hat?

    Don't steam wool hats, think wool sweater & hot water = don't mix. Spray wool hat with room temp distilled water for reshaping.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Depends on the hatter & his process. With Art, for sure. His conformer gets your noggin shape & the hat fits that. Getting a band block he makes to that shape is a great asset to have as well.

    When I "researched" the BotP for my use, I found description of the "earlier" model that had a 4" open crown & then the next version which had 4 1/2" crown. I chose the earlier model crown dimension. The brim I just ordered what I wanted... I liked River Junction's model too =...
