Are there any UK or European made stiff bowlers anymore?
I've got a hat I've been meaning to send Bob for like a year probably.....you won't regret the decision. Bob is a stand up guy and will bend over backwards to get things right. If I may, I suggest the ostrich leather sweat....Here's a Stetson Homburg Bob recently rebuilt for me: -
The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Well...I don't want to start a whole thing in this thread, but there is a Fouquet thread: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?73967-Westbrook-Maker-Nick-Fouquet-Hats-(Warning-Image-Heavy)/page10 -

I suspect it may be "6 to 8 weeks" [huh] -
The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Yeah, that's his thing, and he does what he does, and does it well. If you want to restore a Borso, I would sent it to Bob At Black Sheep Hatworks, Art Fawcett, or Optimo. Any one of those venders will do a top notch job renovating the hat. I 'get' the idea behind Fouquet's aesthetic... -

I would use the term "restore" very loosely in this case. -
What hat are you waiting for today?
Triple d, I am very jealous! I was eyeing the Boss Raw Edge real hard, but found a good deal on the Resistol Cogburn, from the John Wayne collection. It's a 10x, which seems to be above most Resistol offerings. So this will fill the 'black old west hat' slot. -

Well, I can't refuse the governator. I had a bit of a "hat nest egg," set aside, so between that, the tax return, finding a cheaper price, and a coupon code, I had to! Plus, as I told Charlie in a PM, I have the benefit of living in SF, where nothing is really ever "too weird." -
Stetson 6X versus Akubra Heritage collection
Fed IV deluxe and CD deluxe should be pretty equivalent, all other things being equal. It's the same grade of felt. -
JJ Hat Center & Pork Pie Hatters NYC
When I was in NYC two years ago, they had a Borsalino sign up. It's since been replaced by the Stetson one. Unfortunately I was in that part of midtown on a Sunday, so I only got to window gaze. Bencraft has indeed historically stocked a lot. Delmonico still shows several models on their site. -

Uh oh, the official John Wayne shop has it listed for $275 and they have a 15% off code if you sign up for their email list..... -

I was really admiring the Boss Raw Edge reissue. But then these pics came out....The fake dirt doesn't look nearly as awkward as it does on the silverbelly. I think this is like the "checkmate" of black hats. -

Here's a question, can somebody talk me out of buying this? :-D -
What youngsters wear today
There is something to be said about disposable clothing and the declining standards of quality; but, the under 30 cohort created neither the consumer culture they exist in, nor the infrastructure which drives it. -

What youngsters wear today
It just seems like that. Folks mistake the rise of new social mores as a lack thereof because they do not align with one's own preconceived notions of what is or ought to be. I don't "get" a lot of fashion, nor do I care to. I do know I have a sense of what I like to wear, and what looks... -

Dude, nobody has called drugs "dope" since like the 80's. -
Silverbellies with fading
Hmm....The coloring is uneven on the hats? Because Stetson in particular is known for having a pinkish hue to their silverbelly. -
