    Vintage 4X Beaver Resistol Fedora

    No link that I know of. I use Google & add "site:thefedoralounge.com" to the criteria. Here is what I got from searching for shrinking = What is the lampshade trick? The lampshade trick is to wet the inside of the sweatband (the rough side, not the side that touches yer noggin) and then...

    New Aero Indecision is killing me...any thoughts appreciated.

    If I had the black HWM, I'd be going for the brown 50's HB. Just enough difference of jacket style with the brown color scheme.

    Alexander Leathers

    Road the bike with the Dirtrider yesterday, had a micro fleece vest underneath at the start but off after lunch. Really liked how the jacket wore & felt.

    Cleaning spots, stains and soiling from felt hats

    First, I'd try talc to see if that would lift it out. Get some talcum powder & coat the area liberally with it then work it in good with finger tips. Let it sit for a day then brush off, repeat. You can get some Zippo lighter fluid & coat a Qtip to blot a small area to see how that may work...

    This site

    There are motorcycle forums that are free with far more traffic than this site. I'd be for charging for sales thru the Classifieds to sellers before general membership fees. JMHO

    Vintage 4X Beaver Resistol Fedora

    Have you looked into any of the shrinking techniques provided on the Lounge? If that is a fairly new sweatband, some of them may pull the hat into your size...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Welcome to the Lounge. If somebody is willing to pay $350 then it is worth that to that person at least. What it is worth to you is up to you & nobody else. They don't make hats like that anymore & is no contest in comparing to a modern one. Having a modern (1980s) Borso & vintage ones (1950s)...

    The Conversion Corral

    I don't collect hats; I wear them. If a vintage hat is not in wearable condition, it goes to a hatter for renovation. Liners can be removed & replaced fairly easily by me but not sweatbands. Ribbons may or may not be self-repaired, depending on what I want the hat to look like. I try to keep...
