why doesnt stetson or any hat company just go back to their roots?
It's not that people don't care about quality, it's that there's just no context for the average person today - not just young people - to understand what makes a "quality" hat. -
why doesnt stetson or any hat company just go back to their roots?
Yeah, the 300 number was from HATCO (the former [?] FL Rep). This topic has been done to death, the market for open crown hats just isn't there, despite how many folks here prefer them. -
Zac Brown's Fedora
Bruno wore a Borso on SNL, so he's at least ahead of the curve when it comes to fur felt over wool, even if modern Borsos aren't like their vintage cousins. I like that brown one above. -

Gung hay fat choy! Wore my Cavanagh Homburg to dim sum this morning with my dad and relatives in from Hong Kong. Today is the first day of the lunar new year as well. -
Classic Fedora, opencrowned, but not custom-made?
It's easy for a hatter with a flange to do, not so easy without the proper equipment. But yes, a reflange is pretty simple. They pop the hat into the flange, some steam, and iron, let it set, Viola. -

Hatguys.com might have a few nostalgias kicking around...wouldn't hurt to give them a call. -

Thanks Steve, it's sunny but quite brisk. Downright tropical compared to the east coast blizzard though! Perry, thank you! I like the brim shaping on the Colonel. Seems aptly named! Thanks David, looks like that Garrison is being put to good use. Though you really should see the movie... -

Jeff: Congrats on the new Stetson! Looks great. Alan: You always look great in those old Stetson westerns! OG: I don't think there's a ribbon Bob has done that I don't like. Great hat! David: Nice shot of the Penman today. I always like to see the variations in how that felt picks up... -

+2, I cringed a little when I saw that photo to be honest. I'm not one to stand on tradition or formality for the sake of it, but with the brim snapped down it just doesn't work for me. Eric: that is a lovely Hempstead. The ribbon treatment is very unique and seems to suit you well. Sam... -

I dunno, if you have two days to wait around for a response from the lounge, I would think you have the time for an ebay search. -

I'm all over the map depending on my mood/outfit. Have brims from 1 3/4 to 2 3/4. Variety is the spice of life! -

I'm assuming you're referring to the shaping of the crown? Looks like you've put in a teardrop or C-Crown. There's not a 'right' or 'wrong' way to crease a hat per se (especially looking at some of the 'Chicago hook' styles). But it looks nice and even to me. -

I love the Fed IV!!
Carbon is a darker grey, but for the life of me, I can't wrap my head around folks saying that it's almost black. Outdoors, overcast. Indoors, fluorescent lighting (and wet, obviously) Outdoors, full sun As far as Christy's, Top Secret Hats is closing. Top Secret hats =/= Christy's, who...
