Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
It is a formillion, used with a conformateur to shape a hat. It's not a home stretcher, but rather a hat maker's tool. The one sold appears to be missing a piece. The conformateur is placed on the head to get both size and more to the point shape of the head. This is recorded by piercing a... -

Why all the hatred towards black leather jackets?
Nevermind the organ donors all of which has nothing to do with why I recently ordered a black Aero.- feltfan

2 Stetson Nutria Fedoras
I can't figure out why these hats haven't been snatched up yet. This is some fine, incredibly strong and dense felt, in versatile colors, extremely tastefully designed into classic fedoras in the popular size of 7 3/8. The price is a steal. These lids blow away almost everything I've...- feltfan

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
With that plastic liner, I figure it's not an older model. Indeed, I assume the box is the older item. If it had a straight up satin liner, I would have bid. Still a good deal and I had some remorse on seeing the final price. -

Aero Half belt deluxe - Natural
Wow! Outstanding! Didn't even know they offered that color. I have seen vintage jackets in that color and admired them. Nice grain already- I was going to guess it was steerhide, but no. It must be "vintage" HH? Now try it on...- feltfan

Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns
Whoops, didn't even notice you were the selller. I remember you posting a picture of this hat. At the time I made a mental note to ask if you planned to sell it. Lately my mental notebook has not been reliable. I'll live... and congrats on selling the hat. -
Warm Weather
Of course a warm day can always be cold a few blocks away, here in the SF Bay Area. But even on a reasonably warm day, I can still wear my Good Wear capeskin A-1. Otherwise, linen, porous wool, etc.- feltfan

Aviator Jacket and 1st Post Greetings
I have no experience with this jacket or maker. In general, I recommend waiting till you can get something top quality. In the long run, it will be less expensive and make you happier. I am concerned that the leather doesn't look very nice (though the buttons sure do) and that the waist...- feltfan

DO THEY MAKE VIAGRA FOR LIMP FEDORAS?
If your hats don't need cleaning, you might start by simply getting the hats wet through, reshaping them, and letting them dry. The pen is asking for trouble...
