Stetson Going Hipster?
As a business decision, there's no reason that Hatco should let Goorin dominate that section of the market with hats that are all pretty "meh." If the sale of stingies and/or fur felt hats to folks of my generation or younger, provides capital to Stetson to continue to produce the open crown... -
Playboys on Parade!
The one on the bottom actually needs a new sweat. Oh, and the dog was curious as to what was so interesting. Both 50's Playboys. I got a little obsessed with photographing the two felt thicknesses. Thanks to this nifty clip on lens for my phone: The unlined one on top is the lightest... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Love the ORs, guys! David: alwys nice seeing Bob's handiwork. It was probably too hot in the bay for a felt hat, but I couldn't resist grabbing the new-to-me Playboy: -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Alan: Super Borso! I love that ribbon Bob: I actually wore my Latte yesterday, nice little stingy Richard: watch out, Joao might take that one from you! Charlie: Nice lid, VS I assume? This unlined 50's Playboy just got dropped off. Grey with a sage-ish colored band. It's elegantly... -

If you're just gonna cut the brim off anyway, yeah, go for a Fed. I find the finishes on Akubras generally just a bit less refined than the average Stetson. But on durability, no contest. The Akubra will outlast its wearer, in all probability! ;) -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Thanks gents! Maybe I can escape a full reblock with some steam and a brush, but I might have to swing by and have the good ladies at Paul's hat works spiff this one up. -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
This 50's (???) Playboy had a $150 BIN, but the seller accepted my best offer. Pictures are not great, but I can't see any moth damage, and I've always wanted an unlined Playboy. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281774620912 -
Stetson in Los Angeles
Stetson.com does have a dealer finder on their website. But it looks like it picks up everyone who sells anything in the Stetson hat family..... Village Hat Shop shows the Stetsonian online, they have a Long Beach store: http://www.villagehatshop.com/content/751/store-locations.html The other... -

Ask a question, get an answer
Well...I googled him since I didn't know who you were talking about. Google images brings up several images with a stingy brim hat with a relatively low crown. It's basically impossible to identify a maker, much less a model designation, without seeing pictures of the inside of the hat. There... -

Best hat or hats to take to Disney
Well, I've done hats at Disneyland, but the heat isn't as much of a factor. As far as on rides, if you have anything crushable, that's the best. -
Post New Hats Here!
Thanks to the good Mr. Bowers: http://thehattedprofessor.bowershats.com/p/cavanagh-edge-primer.html "Stetson used the name Selv-Edge in 1933, but by 1940 changed it the Mode Edge. " -

FWIW: New "art of fitting faces" type guidance via Goorin Bros.
In all fairness, I don't remember the guides of yore discussing function as such, where the goal is to be a guide on size and shape. -
Black Sheep Hat Works
So Bob has been posting some teasers today on Facebook: He's calling it the "Pinnacle Edge" treatment...I don't know what kind of hatter magic this is, or if it is a "true" felted/Cavanagh edge, but it sure looks mighty nice! -
