    Embroidery? Screen printing? Or ...

    I know I'm late to this, but I'm curious what solution you found. My first thought reading through was digiprint.

    Anybody re-shaped an Akubra hemp-braid straw w/water or steam?

    I just ordered a Balmoral. It has the same general color and brim-width as my Panama hat, which I love, with the added bonus that I don't have to worry about ruining it if I get caught in the rain. I think this is going to be a great spring / summer hat for me. Heck, last year I was wearing my...

    Restaurant Hat Issues

    With my back problems, I usually end up requesting a booth unless there's absolutely no other options—that's a whole other topic. However, my hat usually ends up in the booth seat next to me or on the table (yes, I guess I'm extremely rude and ill-mannered). To be honest, I've never thought...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I wore my Snowy River to shovel snow. While it was still snowing.

    Anybody re-shaped an Akubra hemp-braid straw w/water or steam?

    :-) I have a snap-brim Panama that I'm afraid to wear unless I know for sure it won't rain, and the Balmoral is very similar to it. I almost ordered a Balmoral a couple of weeks ago, in fact, but I was concerned I could't reshape it to a snap-brim. Is the Balmoral a good sun protection hat...

    Stetson Stratoliner on "Marvel's Agent Carter"

    I actually wondered what hat that was. I totally didn't see the pin in it. Love that look!

    You guys are tempting me into a Balmoral. :)

    How To Pull Off A Fedora/Trilby Dress Hat

    The Akubra should be easy to shape and re-shape. I've re-shaped the brim on my Snowy River several times, as well as the dents—Snowy River is the imperial felt, I believe stiffer than a Fed IV.

    Akubra Stylemaster

    Is that color moonstone? My grandad died before I was born, but I got to wear one of his old hats in a school play (no idea on make or model). Gray felt with a slightly darker band and a satin lining with a plastic lining protector. Your picture reminds me a lot of it. Looks good on you.

    If a US President wore hats again, what would he wear and how would it effect hat sales?

    Politics aside, I'm honestly not sure how much influence the president has on modern fashion trends these days. It would be cool to see a president embrace fedoras as a fashion staple—or anyone in the public eye, really—but I just don't see it trickling down to mainstream fashion without a youth...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    From what I can tell, the Stylemaster is a great hat. I'm sure it will be worth the wait, even though the wait is rough. As for me, I bought a cheap wool hat online to wear during winter and came here looking for advice on how to re-shape the brim. Once I realized I was barking up the wrong...
