What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Thanks all for the kind words! It was actually Sam/CaseCopper who posts multiple angles of his hats that inspired me to do the collage. The app is a free android app called PhotoGrid. You just select the photos you want and you can manipulate them within the 'frames'. Some lovely lids... -

Looking for a certain hat
That's a vintage Borsalino. It's basically not possible to find a modern, production hat that will match that hat in specifications and quality. A custom hatmaker such as Art Fawcett would be able to replicate a hat like Johnny's, but finding that exact model is a near impossible task I'd... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
http://www.ebay.com/itm/320925331577?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 (seller's photo) Took a chance on this poorly photographed longhair Knox Foxhound. BIN price was right. Seems to be similar to this one which was for sale on the lounge a few months ago, minus the... -

If you can afford to not buy a wool hat, do not buy a wool hat. -

Dating Your Hat (A Place to Discuss the Age of Your Vintage Hat)
Perhaps a Dobbs expert might better know that box, but 50's is my educated guess by the lack of plastic on the liner, and the wide sweatbands. An educated guess only... -

Akubra Adventurer
Well, the block for the Fed IV, which is a vintage Akubra block, was selected because of its resemblance to a sample hat that Steve Delk of Adventurebilt (who made the KOTCS hat) sent to Hats Direct. -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
This is purely speculative, but I'd imagine somebody probably didn't think to assume that the hat had been modified (or had a wrong sweatband) and was some rare variant. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
David, Randall, Manfred, Samuel, and Che, thanks for the compliments on the OR. One of my absolute favorite vintage hats, and a prime example of "they don't make 'em like they used to." It's amazing to see the difference in the middle tiered 3x felt as compared to the modern Sovereign and... -

That Garrison really is a good looking lid! At that price it's very competitive with an Akubra. -

Lots of great hats today! I wore my 50's 3x Open Road on a very brisk evening walk with the pup: -

Ask a question, get an answer
Well, we usually have questions about stretching a hat, but I have one about shrinking a hat. Just got in an eBay Knox today which was sold to me as a size 7, but when I received it, I pulled the sweat down, and a 7 1/4 tag popped out at me. So, how many sizes can you conceivably size... -
whats everyones opinion on 100%wool fedora's?
Welcome to the lounge. I'm sure if you do a search, you'll come up with plenty of reading material to last you through the new year. In short, the verdict on wool is not good. The pros: Price - wool felts are value priced Availability - more widely available than fur felts Cons: Lack of... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Rusty, Perry, Jeff, David: thanks for all the compliments on the Penman. It still needs a reflange, although getting a good walk out in the rain reactivated the stiffener, so it actually looks a little better now that it's dry. Go figure! It's my first custom hat, and still one of my... -
