French Hats and makers.
Cool find! French hats are notoriously hard to date because the French hatters seem to have been in no hurry to adopt new innovations and techniques, but going just by the dimensions and shape I'd venture a guess of late 50's to mid 60's.A half-size stretch shouldn't be a problem if the leather... -

Ask a question, get an answer
I have not tried vodka to deodorize a hat before, but I did once soak a leather jacket I found thrifting that had a pervasive nasty smell to it in a handle of cheap vodka overnight. Took the nasty odor right out. I have had good results getting old tobacco smell out of a hat by sealing it in a... -

Can anybody make me a Whippet?
Just a suggestion... There is a device called a hat jack that is made to stretch a hat up a half size or so for those in-between size folks. It's biggest design flaw that it tends to stretch the hat along the front to back axis while makinging the side to side narrower. Kinda like a long oval. A... -

I seem to recall a thread discussing straw hat repair. I remember trying glue backed with paper from the inside to minimize a crown crack and strengthen the area to prevent further cracking. Worked pretty well. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Thanks! It's not a break in the brim but rather a spot where one straw broke and got snagged and pulled out of the weave. Looks kinda like a wrinkle that won't iron out. Since I got it for around $1175.00 cheaper than retail I can live with it. Can't see it when I'm wearing it anyway! :) -

Thanks Bowen! It's around a 1600 wpsi count. Heckuva Goodwill score! And if I don't show the big crack on the brim, nobody knows it's there! :D -

Hey all! Sheltering on porch with my Optimo Superfino on a beautiful California day. The fineness of the weave of this hat blows me away. Can't imagine how long it took to achieve that level of skill. Have a great day! -

Thanks Randall! I'm lucky to have found them, especially the Stetson in that color. :) The SLS is indeed a wonderful old hat, very Whippet-y in it's dimensions and trim, but I would have to say superior in quality to the Stetson. Shame yours is too small for you, but what great trading fodder... -
