What hat are you waiting for today?
Bob from Black Sheep dropped me a line to let me know that my heather felt hat is going to be coming around in the next few weeks. I'm very excited for this hat. -
Stetson Stratoliner on "Marvel's Agent Carter"
Here's some pics from Matt's instagram: Two Tone OR regular hemp OR unfinished Temple in yellow Brown Stratoliner special edition - same color combo as my Black Sheep Hatworks Milan -
Stetson Stratoliner on "Marvel's Agent Carter"
They're in the 2016 Spring catalog in a few different colors, but JJ is the only dealer that has them in stock that I know of. Although the ones JJ has are sized s-m-l. The catalog shows proper sizes, 6 7/8 - 7 3/4, in natural, brown, navy, and sage. -
Stetson Stratoliner on "Marvel's Agent Carter"
Probably the hemp weave Stratoliner in that case: http://jjhatcenter.com/collections/straw-hats/products/the-premier-stratoliner-in-straw -
The Resistol Roundup
Hmm.... Can you post some pictures? In short, it's basically not possible to say with any certainty what the makeup of a vintage hat was. The X-rating system (5x, 7x, 10x, 100x, etc) was never consistent even within the same manufacturer, to say nothing of an industry wide standard. The 120... -

If a US President wore hats again, what would he wear and how would it effect hat sales?
Pres. Obama was gifted a lid from Paul's Hat Works here in the city -
Akubra Campdraft
You'll need to find a big group of buyers to even have a chance of getting another felt color. The bluegrass green started out that way, so it is possible, but it'll take leg work. -
Vent holes: do they work?
Ventilated felt hats were quite common in the heyday of hats. Akubra has several models with vent holes. You'll also want to take the liner out. -
Akubra Campdraft
Isn't Akubra de facto blocked from selling the Campdraft in the U.S. because it was originally licensed by Stetson as the Open Road? -

I Rather Like How This Hat Looks. Where Might One Find a New Hat Like This?

Ask a question, get an answer
Good luck with the hunt, that's half the fun! I read once, but can neither confirm nor deny, that modern Christys hats are "dry blocked" without the use of water or steam which would otherwise help the felt 'preshrink' while it's being blocked. My Christys Adventurer is a handsome lid, but I... -
Akubra Campdraft
We interrupt this Campdraft thread, for a Federation IV infomercial: The fed is basically an Indy hat. It should have a 5 5/8 open crown. It has the dimensional brim already. That block was chosen because it is similar to the block that Steve Delk used for the fourth film. -
Ask a question, get an answer
Oh my, the discussion on shrinkage can be very nuanced. Buried in the depths of the collective knowledge here are some very good explainers from our resident hatters and people whom have likewise handled many more hats than I. That having been said, there certainly are a few generalities we... -
Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
Matt posted a new Excellent Quality lid on instagram, the Fortune and Glory! https://www.instagram.com/p/BASmWoBIto6/ Looks like a pretty classy Indy hat to me. I might just need to buy one. -

Looking For a Formal Fedora
A silk finish hat has a certain elegance that a standard finish hat does not. It has a bit of shine, not unlike a top hat. The finish requires extra processing, which means a small uptick in price. I would say this is more formal than a standard finish. Velours can be formal or not. -
Looking For a Formal Fedora
....I mean...there are lots of black hats. Do YOU have a preference for ribbon width? Edge treatment? Brim size? The Akubra Bogart is a decent hat that will hold up to inclement weather well. IMHO, a finished edge and wider ribbon are better suited for a formal look. In that vein, you... -

Nice hat, Tom! Color me jealous! -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Those 100s are very generously sized! I'd probably trade my size 7 for 6 7/8 of the same condition if I could. -
Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
I had no idea there was a premier OR. Looking good!
