The Hatco Outlet Store in Garland, TX
So, my brother, two of my close friends, and myself traveled to Dallas this past weekend for Wrestlemania (yes, really!). Of course this necessitated a quick stop at the Garland outlet. We made out like bandits! We happened upon a sale, apparently. Straw and felt fedoras were 30% off the... -
Indiana Jones Raiders Hat Brim Shape
The thing is, the brim on the Raiders hat is that way because the hat was beat to heck and has shrunken up from exposure to the elements. But it's a fedora, and it's supposed to have a flanged brim. I don't really think of the Raiders hat as having a downturned brim in the style of an Aussie... -

Ben Harper...looks like upstairs at The Fillmore. The article this came from in The Atlantic mentions he wears Borsos. -
21 7/8s'' size hat on a 21 3/4th - 22'' head?
Probably, but I wouldn't unequivocally say so due to manufacturing variations and/or the age of the hat. -

Do you mean "misto" per chance? That was used on Borsalino heathered felts. -
What hat are you waiting for today?
Well....I'd like it less if I hadn't gotten 15% off, haha. It did not have a shiny, plastic-y finish. As far as shangtung goes, it was a decent approximation of natural straw. It does roll! It does seem like it might start to look a bit misshapen easily. But I'd still like to give a... -
What hat are you waiting for today?
Well, I got mine today and it doesn't fit! It feels like someone might have mistagged a 6 7/8 as a 7, because every modern Stetson I've had sat slightly loosely on my head. DelMonico is going to swap it out for me (great service there, of course), but the verdict is still out. -
What hat are you waiting for today?
Yeah, I've watched this 27 second video about a dozen times: -
What hat are you waiting for today?
Pulled the trigger on a Stetson 47 foldable. It's a shangtung hat, but the obvious appeal is the rollability. DelMonico's St Patrick's day coupon was an extra incentive. -

Ludwig Zapf Hutmacher, Werfen, Austria, Factory Tour January 19, 2016
Lovely photo tour. Those heathered felts look great! Some very unique styling too. All your recent photo posts have been so educational, Steve. -

Ask a question, get an answer
The dimensional cut on the brim might affect the curl? Why not just get a homburg and crease it? Seems like less effort. -
Worth & Worth
There are some sharp looking lids on the Worth and Worth site. I really like the Nomad ombre actually. I can see how fans of vintage might find the aesthetic a bit contrived, but Orlando seems to do a much better job than Fouquet. -
QUESTION: Akubra Federation IV Deluxe - sun exposure??
What Hats Direct told you is correct. Akubras are tough hats, built for the outback. That having been said, no hat is immune to fading from sun exposure. Older hats will many times have darker felt under the ribbon. That having been said, any significant color change in two weeks time is... -

Borsalino Doria Cap Sizing Question
Doria is now making caps for Delmonico, they're no longer under the Borsalino umbrella (or, at least are no longer marketed as such). I have a Doria by Borsalino cap that is a 57cm where I would usually wear a 56, so my experience matches yours. -

Black Sheep Hat Works
Thank you everyone for such kind compliments. Here's some more details of the wind/stampede strings. They're just a simple leather braid. The 'tab' end slips between the sweatband and the inside of the crown, then hooks on to the button. This was a late addition to the project and I like the...
