why I like fedoras now
+1. How is a hat intimidating if everyone is wearing one? ETA: Heck, how are they intimidating if only a few are wearing them. Today, anyone wearing a fedora is probably too self-conscious to be intimidating. -

This is absolutely fantastic. Congratulations on your accomplished daughter and her scholarship. It's hard to go wrong with a hatter and steam, and the shots with the ladies of the shop are great, but this hat sells the store to me. The finish on that hat is amazing. Graham seems to be pretty... -
Thin Ribbon shots from movies
Thin ribbons were for cops in The Grapes of Wrath -
movie hats that inspired you...
The hats on the deputies in The Grapes of Wrath are great. They're thinly bound brim (OR style) westerns, but styled in many ways. I liked that they appeared to have a higher contrast - maybe silver ribbon against a darker gray felt. There are also many other types of hats, styled in many ways. -

8.7.11 Stetson Stratoliner DC-3 Pin - vintage and original
Ouch. I do everything I can to package an item well and get it to a buyer quickly, but there's just nothing I can do to protect an item from Mom.- Lefty

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Very nice. A quick search on Google books came up short, but there's someone else on the Lounge who owns (or owned) a Mallory sold by the same guy. The pics are gone, but here's the thread. -

This is wild. It's described as a 50s carnival bought/sold/won hat with a spot for your pack of smokes. -
Churchill Beaver 100 Vicuna
From the Churchill thread, it seems that the highest end Churchills were primarily (only?) sold at NM. Maybe this was Byer-Rolnick putting the high end of the country folk Resistol line in the hands of city folk. The box does seem to resemble the Resistol box posted in the ebay thread yesterday. -

We're not Romanian, but anyone selling baklava or similar honey and nut pastries at their church festival is OK by me. My niece is far better at darts than I'll ever be. Later, we went for pizza. The kids all stand on chairs and watch the pizzas being... -

Doc Martens 1490 Boots
I've got 1461 Made in England - the shoes in cherry - and did exactly what you've described. At first, it didn't do much, so I used a stiffer hair brush. This made for all sorts of small nicks and lines in the shoes (which you would never notice) that the cordovan polish found and filled. Since...- Lefty

Barbara Feinman Hats
Are the photos you posted mirror reflections? If not, the bow is on the "woman's side" of the hat, not on the left, or "man's side." -

Thanks, guys. Aureliano, even though I love the one I bought new, the wider brim and higher crown on this one really work for me. The brim was a little too flat in front, but it shaped so easily with damp hands. A little more, and I think I'll have it where I want it.
