Aero real deal Hide
If it's horse hide it starts in Canada before it gets to Chicago, if I'm not mistaken. That jacket should have its own passport.- feltfan

Post New Hats Here!
I have come to the same conclusion. Sigh. Unless you're a hat maker, it's just gonna be what it's gonna be. Still, you have to marvel at the people who weave those things. -

Interesting. And there I thought they were electrical quack medicine devices. Thanks. And again, a cool lamp. That tiny light at the bottom is a great feature- find your lamp in a dark room.- feltfan

Post New Hats Here!
Looks like my gray Stetson 3x, except for the plastic in the liner, the flourish in the bow, and the olive-ness. I'm guessing the "exchange club" was a promotion at the store- probably took old fedoras and gave a trade-in or something. Mine is a real go-to hat. Just the right amount of... -
Post New Hats Here!
Are we talking about the Carli The Hatter hat? Looks like a reeded sweatband to me. The pictures are grainy, but it appears to be a fine hat as-is. Fold a few dollar bills under the sweatband, give it a brushing, and enjoy it. -

Irrational hatred of hats
I find it can be useful to remind such people that there are far worse practices. Mind you, I have some of them, too. But I'm sure you can think of people who collect far more expensive or cumbersome items or who have made far worse choices in their appearance or who have far less... -

SO glad it turned out to be too small for me. Glad you got it. I take it the other hat wasn't worth bothering with? -
Post New Hats Here!
Thanks for the clarification, barrowjh. I was, of course, quoting the fedora store site. I agree it's a very fine factory hat! Bakers44, VERY nice find! -

Leonard Cohen- Hat fancier
Sigh. I was tempted to see him when he played here in the deco Paramount Theatre. But then I figured out how many hats I could buy for the overpriced tickets. Yeah, his manager absconded with all of his money, but gee... Anyway, I bet it was a great show, regardless of his hat... -

Is $320 the sale price? It's a very nice looking hat and I don't mean to knock it, but how could it be better than a custom from Art? "...the BEST men's dress hat made in America". Really? I'd love to know more about why these hats are so good. -

Interesting. First time I've seen a self-felt "ribbon" with a Western bow. -
New Amelia Earhart Movie
Ouch. That fedora looks like a modern factory hat. I want to see reverse taper, not rounded edges on that crown, along with a nice, crinkly handmade dent.- feltfan

My new Aero Cheyenne in seal goat
Wow, what a great reward. I look forward to all those photos. You have a tremendous jacket collection. This jacket in particular has probably convinced me to get a goat jacket from Aero. Hadn't planned to before. Someday.- feltfan

My new Aero Cheyenne in seal goat
Jan, On Flickr, if you click on "All Sizes" and then choose a size, you get a dialog box with a link you can use to display your pictures within your post. That way we wouldn't have to click all those links, with a new window for each image. Thanks! Ah, I see the links you...- feltfan

Knox Vagabond new pictures...
That is a cool sweatband. But we all have to do it to one hat or another. I have a few cool, deteriorating sweatbands in bags somewhere. No idea if I'll ever do anything with them. I think Art Fawcett used to keep old sweatbands in good condition to match to hats for restoration... -
Knox Vagabond new pictures...
Congrats on the find (and for not ascribing it to superstitious beliefs). I am a huge fan of the way those old sweatbands look (and for that matter how they perform). But that sweatband is shot. It also appears to be unreeded, which means it'd be pretty tough to sew back on or even to... -

Whew. A museum piece at bargain basement prices. Check out the weave on that horse hair band. Thanks!
