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

    I think it is more Zorro than Amish. I figured the odd sweatband/liner is for keeping it on whilst dashing about horseback wielding a fine sword (I guess Zorro's weapon has a name other than "sword" but it escapes me).

    Dude in a wheelchair ran my hat over!

    Now I see why architects put steps on buildings......(if that doesn't fly in the face of PCness, nothing does). OK, a re-write of hat etiquette needs to be done. Hats belong on heads even indoors. Exceptions can be made for person who carry tripods with hat blocks for hat storage. Exception...

    Am I a freak, or what? ~siziing question~

    Athletic cut suits have 8" drop from coat size to pants waist and the waist area of coat is cut slimmer as well. Made for guys just like you. The waist reduction to get those to your 32-34 waist won't leave the pants so ill proportioned. Not every haberdasher has these but if you look you...

    Ideological and Historical Roots of anti-Suit Hatred

    I LOVE THIS THREAD!!!! I lead a very diverse life, I raise and train horses, run a small herd of cattle, and I'm a corporate trainer. I wear jeans, boots, hat and sludge through manure and mud. I wear casual wear with some training sessions and for others it's a suit. The persons I deal...

    That last parts of this thread are HILARIOUS! I thought I was the only hataholic/liar/embellisher.... "this hat, it's not new, I've had and worn it a lot" this really means---> I got it shipped to office and I have worn it a lot and took it off down the road and put it over in the back seat...

    Deodorizing Sweatbands -

    A bath cloth wetted with warm water and rubbed on a bar of good old fashioned Ivory bar soap and then used to clean the sweatband has always worked very well for me. Leaves a pleasant odor and gets the sweatband clean and leaves it supple. I have used Ivory bar soap wetted and rubbed liberally...

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

    I'm the seller of the green Resistol. It is definitely green, a dark forest green I guess. It has grey hairs in it and is not pounced down to a fine finish so it is a bit "fuzzy". Layoff forces sale, not so much due to the lost income but more due to the lost closet space I had at my office...

    Reblock a western

    What size is your 100x Stetson? Maybe a multi-hat trade is in order if the size is right.

    self-concious in my fedora

    I am not one who disregards what others think but when wearing a hat you must resolve to NOT be thin-skinned. You know that you will most likely be different from others since hat wearing is little practiced today. What will make you look odd in the hat is to FEEL ODD IN THE HAT! Wear it like...

    If you could only have one hat....

    If you could only have one hat......I'd consider suicide. Hatted of course but nothing to soil the hat and I'd perish amidst my collection, my dying thought: "which one should I kick off wearing?"

    3 button vs. 2 button

    I have yet another slant on this: marketing. I don't believe marketing and fashion change are inventions of the 20th century. There are certainly historical reasons for certain types of suits but the periodic drift of 3 button to two button and narrow ties and lapels to wide ties and lapels...

    That OR looks like it had brim cut down and edge ribbon sewn on. The stitching does not look like Stetson manufacture stitiching to me. The rear view photo is the one that raises my suspicions.

    Torpedo, You have one hat-photogenic noggin! When I win the BIG lottery and start my hat factory, you and Jimmy the Lid are going to be the first two I seek out as my hat catalog models along with Metropd as the vintage fashion line model. Hats off to you guys!
