What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Actually I've mostly been wearing my new Premiere Strat as of late. I've learned that black hats need very regular brushings, especially with my cream colored dog! -

Need hat advice
Take a few hours to search through the existing threads Spot cleaning can be done at home. A full cleaning is best done by a professional. There is a vintage fedoras by decade thread which may be instructive for you. But the size of the brim and the taper in the crown place this hat in... -

The Stratoliner Appreciation Club {MODERN}
I really like my Premiere Strat...can't comment on the modern Borsos, other than the very general comment that they don't make em like they used to. Of course neither does Stetson, but my strat is head and shoulders above all the modern hats I've seen as of late. -
Felt Fedora Hat Makers
You know, I don't think we have just one list. However, we have a ton of threads dedicated to specific makers if you poke around. Off the top of my head? Production makers Hatco (Stetson, Resistol, Dobbs), Akubra, Borsalino, Guerra, Christy's, Tonak. Private Label & Custom makers: Lock &... -
Need hat advice
Well, Akubras are made in either Imperial, or Heritage grade felt. The latter contains a wild hare fur, which is more resilient than the regular rabbit felt. They also come with nicer sweatbands. Both the Imperial and Heritage grade felts are well made hats. If you peruse through the lounge... -
Pre-WWII Fedoras
The new Premiere Stratoliner has my seal of approval, for what it's worth. They're well made hats. -
Pre-WWII Fedoras
The war wasn't the breaking point between open crown/pre creased or taper/no taper. Most of my vintage hats are 50's/60's era and came open crown. Open crown hats lasted well into the 60's before being taken over by the pre-creased variety. Stetson's new Stetsonian and Premiere... -

Ask a question, get an answer
I'm no Resistol expert, but if there are no marked Xs, I'm inclined to believe there is no beaver. -
The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Borso often put the names of their colors on tags under the liner. As Ed mentions, different manufacturers had different formulas. Also, in the heydey of hat making, the variety would be relatively unfathomable compared to modern production hats. Stetson advertised the Playboy to be available... -
Maternal Dissaproval
Partially inspired by, but not a direct response to, per se. Was attempting to comment generally on his mother's idea that fedoras are strictly dressy and "don't match" with the rest of the outfit. -
Maternal Dissaproval
The hat has good proportions on you, but might I gently suggest that black on black is not the best match with a darker forest/olive green top. I've actually been trying to work out more outfits with my new black/black Stratoliner and I'm finding it harder than I would have imagined, primarily... -
Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
Glad to hear positive reports after incliment weather. That was one thing I worried about. I'm still really digging my Strat.
