Post New Hats Here!
I can't shed much light on it, but I can say I have one, too. Mine is a really great, super dark charcoal gray. It has an underwelt that is ironed in such a way that it looks almost like a Cavanagh Edge. Same box, same liner, same tags (except mine is a 7 1/2 Long Oval and fits me like it was... -
Lincoln Brigade jacket size 44 and my new workspace!
Your nicest effort yet, and that's saying something. Don't tell JC, but your buttonholes are better... Is that horsehide?- feltfan

WHO made Johnny Depps hats for Public Enemies
And, of course, some might say that a $7.50 hat from the mid-30s is nicer in many ways than a $500 hat made today. Depending on the hat. As has been discussed to death here, there were skilled hat making masters, economy of scale, and material supplies in the 1930s Optimo can only... -

Ha. If Borsalino could only make hats like that in the last thirty years! No way is that a 1998 hat. It is, however, a very nice hat. Congrats. There is a lot of talk on the Lounge about when this style of hat was made. 50s and 60s? -

Pre-war Stetson
Don't rub it in. And imagine my surprise that Dinerman likes this one. It's an outstanding hat. Thanks for showing us. That bow is really unique- never seen that combination of raw and bowed edges on the back. Say, Art... -
Rotmans Hats closing in Toronto
Gee, I guess I feel better... Thanks for the report. How odd. I wonder what happened to all that stuff. -
Need help finding a great boot.. ideas anyone?
Some nice boots here. Anyone have a specific recommendation for very wide boots? Red Wing isn't making most of their nicer boots wide anymore. I'm keen to have a 5" or 6" pair of short nice brown boots for summer wear (it doesn't get hot all that often in the SF bay area) but can't seem...- feltfan

Rotmans Hats closing in Toronto
Besides, who buys a fedora any more? Wish I could get to that sale this weekend!! There are bound to be great deals on hat making equipment and supplies... maybe even some old hats. -
Post New Hats Here!
Ouch. Since it says "Cavanagh Edge" on the sweatband, it once had a Cav Edge. If it doesn't have one now, and instead has a bound edge, that means it was cut down at some point in the past. Judging from the design on the edge of the sweatband, which was also present on my really nice... -

I don't get it. It's listed as a 7 1/4 and your measurement shows it's a 7 1/4. -
Professional hats
Sorry, but Tilleys aren't that cool if you wear them right- with a bag over your head... :p Now that's more like it. I like the pith helmet idea, too. Maybe once he understands he's supposed to soak it first... -

Up two sizes and LO. Impressive. Is that the original ribbon? Sure looks clean. Great hat. I gotta get me one of those! -
The Cavanagh Club
Ah, an awful lot of vintage panamas were treated that way. Some of mine, for sure. It's not too bothersome, at least to me. I don't really understand why they did it, though. It doesn't really bleach the hat. But I think it does coat it, perhaps making it possible to brush the panama? -
Beloved Comic Books--The Uncanny X-Men
I do own a copy. But I found that page doing a quick Google Images search. Wrightson did a lot of other good work, too. Of course most famously on Swamp Thing.- feltfan

I can't argue with his list (except perhaps John Buscema), but would add Kaluta's run on The Shadow and Simonson and Goodwin's Manhunter.- feltfan

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Lurid color? It's washed out. You can see over the bow a blotch showing that it was once a much darker hat. That hat is shot and filthy. It's also a size "Large", which tells you right there that it is not, as claimed, from the "Golden Age" of mens' hats. If the buyer is reading... -
