    Stetson "The Motor" and sewing a sweatband?

    I don't know. To me, it looks like that parallel line of stitching is unraveling as well. I can just tell you that I told the milliner that I was willing to pay whatever she needed to fix the sweat and she said that method wasn't going to work. Of course, my sweat is significantly thinner than...

    Stetson "The Motor" and sewing a sweatband?

    The stitching is like that because it was done with a machine that is in the hands of very few at this point. Brad posted a photo of it in this thread. See also: this and this

    That's a lot of hat. It doesn't date the hat, but here's a reference to the maker.

    Stetson "The Motor" and sewing a sweatband?

    Going through the existing holes isn't just risky on the sweat, but on the felt. The milliner tried that one mine, and where the sweat was strong enough to handle the stress, the tiny bits of felt just came right through the hole. This is a problem that rlk and I discussed through pms for a...

    Stetson "The Motor" and sewing a sweatband?

    Take the hat to a milliner in your area and explain the issue well. The milliners I've met know nothing about men's hats. My old Playboy Airlight had similar issues and I didn't want to replace the sweat. A local milliner gave it a pretty basic sewing job and it works fine for now. I'm...

    +1 on the CB vs. 25. The difference on mine, of the same era, is obvious. On a different note, Knox Vagabond, 7 3/8 and, as an Ohio hat, it's worth at least double that :)

    Stetson Ibarra, anyone?

    Is it a hand woven, quality panama or a hand woven quality panama? In other words, are we missing a comma, or is this the question of whether "beaver quality" contains any beaver fur? and it doesn't say waterproof, it says repellent. Almost everything is water repellent to some degree.

    Panama Hat Thread

    This thread is mainly Panamas, but seems to include all sorts of straws. As far as I know, the only other dedicated straw thread is milan mania.
