    Thank you Tim... the best way to appreciate the range of possible hues of gray is to try to match up a gray hat with a gray outfit. ;^)

    Thanks... a Knox, though both companies were siblings out of the HCA brand at the time.

    Hat Hooks...

    From experience, I have not found this to be a problem... though I might pay attention to the lightest featherweight felts. Akubra hats should be bulletproof in this regard. It might also be noted that there are many decorative objects that one can hang a hat on... below are a couple that are...

    Hat Hooks...

    Gravity will have this effect no matter what part of the hat supports the total mass. The idea of storing a hat upside down poses that the brim of the hat will appreciate the force of gravity to help support the brim flange. But what is the effect on the crown? A tennis ball softens the blow by...

    Who likes vintage tools?

    These are older than vintage... ancient excavated Native American.

    Hat Hooks...

    I think so. The Akubra will survive all of these storage solutions just fine. The tennis ball solution works well to soften the blow of a metal hook... even better if you have a puppy.

    They did used to happen, but not in some time. I've bumped the thread for the last meet-up, called FedoraFest.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Thank you B... it would be an interesting comparison to feel and then to describe in words. Borsalino hats from this era are sublime in many ways. I don't know that they (or other European makers) ever competed in the high dollar steeplechase with Stetson and HCA 40s, 50s and one-hundreds. The...

    Yet another shark gill pleated bow... A time capsule hat showcasing the beautiful attention to detail by Borsalino. Many mysteries - falero? nadirsca, visone (made with mink, or used to describe the luxurious feel of the velour?). W.E. Baber of Burlington Colo. lives on in a 1948 journal...
