Art Fawcett hat question
Art's nutria blend is his special recipe by Winchester. I have the BotP that Sam mentioned plus a Journeyman in this felt. It is a more rugged & durable than dress weight beaver for sure. -
Hat prices hurting hat comeback?
Retail westerns are a different price due to higher supply/demand. Have you priced a custom western? 100% beaver western custom far outstrips a 100% beaver custom fedora. Those felt bodies are more to start with so the end product is more. -

Zip in Liner, Zipper Pull on the Liner
Thanks all for the great replies. I have zip-out liners that are wearable themselves that definitely have zipper pulls. I have an unlabeled MC jacket that originally had a liner & am looking for brands to consider in my search for a replacement. Not a very hopeful endeavor & have micro-fleece...- gtdean48

How to travel with hats
+1... got one & use it regularly. I also have western hat cans for the larger brimmed lids. I used to travel weekly & had to watch number of carry-ons. I had a couple of hats that I used as travel lids. My best one was an Akubra Fed4. It handled the overhead bins with no problems... -

Hat prices hurting hat comeback?
Hats effect on hairstyles is a key barrier. If current styles are less impacted by "hat head" then that key demographic, 18-35 males, will be more apt to wear one. Us old dudes with less or no hair have little to no concern with it. My thoughts to why you see wool watch caps worn... -
Cleaning my hat... a slightly odd question.
Here's a good deal where you can have 1 for dark hats & 1 for light hats & 1 for travel = http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-Kiwi-Shoe-100-Horse-Hair-Brush-Made-in-Israel-Great-for-hair-Too-NEW-/231083644542 -
Cleaning my hat... a slightly odd question.
Go to the aisle in your local Kroger or Publix where they have shoe polish & laces. You'll find a very good shoe brush for about $7 or so, works like a charm. You can buy brim & crown brushes from hat supply websites but these are handy & less expensive. Kiwi, made of horsehair =... -
Zip in Liner, Zipper Pull on the Liner
I am looking for models of leather jackets that have zip in liners where the zipper pull is on the liner & not the jacket. I have some off brand MC jackets, MAS, where the zipper pulls are on the jacket. Are Schott, Brooks, etc. jackets with zip in liners configured this way? TIA- gtdean48

Ask a question, get an answer
I'm a 7 5/8 LO, 61, 24" I have a very nice collection of vintage lids, all thin & mid-ribbons & have passed on some nice WAR's to fellow loungers of this noggin size. They are more rare & bring a high asking price it seems but they are out there. BTW my father was a 7 1/2 & 5'11". My older... -

Not without measurements, there is no way to tell from the tag. Odds are it is a 6 7/8. -

Horween Chromexel Steer not dyed all the way through
Thanks. I didn't think so but didn't know if it may have been a different grade. I've got moccasins comparable to my Aero FQHH but really like the Hercules FQHH. Wish it was a tad bigger. Maybe my son will wear it. Was listed as a 44, hoped it was at least a 42 but looks like it's a 40.- gtdean48
