Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
It seems there's some uneveness in different runs of the new hats, and there are some quality control issues. I ended up with two black Strats because my first one ended up tapering. I had mentioned it here on the lounge, and Mr. Deckard contacted me to offer a replacement (stand up guy, btw)... -
Lightweight vs Dressweight Felt
Well, there you go! I'd take Mr. Dean's word over mine ;-) -
Lightweight vs Dressweight Felt
I mean, you could wear it in the rain, it's beaver felt after all. But being thinner means that it will soak through faster, which opens up that can of worms; and there's also the practical matter that my lightweight hat from Art has a shorter brim. I should probably rephrase that I wouldn't... -

Lightweight vs Dressweight Felt
Well, it's lighter. In all seriousness, Art's lightweight felt is really wonderful. It feels and creases much more like a vintage hat while still retaining a good density. I probably wouldn't wear it in the rain though... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
The Brewster does indeed have contrasting stitching! I've been *this close* to buying the straw version of that hat. Nice one, Bob! You and I have similar tastes apparently, because I've also got a latte Milan. -
The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
That looks like it's also the "bismuto" felt that Steve posted a few pages back and that I have in my Torino. -

Stetsonian Bogart a couple of questions I'd like answered
The x marking system was never consistent, even within Stetson, whom has always disguised their percentages as "proprietary information." -

Whippet or Stratoliner Special Edition?
Are you talking about hats with blocked on creases? Those are very tough to reshape at all. The new Stetsons definitely don't crease as nicely as a vintage hat, but mine has a nice finish and a smooth hand feel. Admittedly, it's definitely a personal preference for open crown hats because... -
Whippet or Stratoliner Special Edition?
The open crown models are a bit nicer overall. And not only is hand increasing easier than it seems, it's the most enjoyable part of getting a new hat for me. -
Whippet or Stratoliner Special Edition?

Buckaroo Hatters ''I Saw The Light'' movie news.
Well, it is the entertainment industry after all. It's not insignificant that the release date is in the fall. Just because the film hasn't been released publicly, doesn't mean that nobody has seen it. Certainly part of this is "buzz," but Sony wouldn't necessarily spend the time, energy, and... -
I need some HAT help!!!!
Well, no "off the rack" hat is going to match it, period. "Closest options" seems an apt descriptor in this case. -
I need some HAT help!!!!

I need some HAT help!!!!
Hi Fulton, welcome to the lounge. There are several ways one might go about answering your query. If money is no object, one option is to contact a custom hatter such as Art Fawcett, Bob Jessee at Black Sheep Hatworks, John Penman, Mike Miller at Northwest Hats, Tumwater, Optimo, etc. Tell... -
Fedoras in the 19th Century.
Hmm...I've seen that ad before! That's very cool. There is so much knowledge buried in TFL...if only it could be synthesized into a men's headwear wiki.
