    Whippet Gone Western

    "It is one of their premier line of hats called the Royal Stetson" Well...someone has no idea what they're talking about.

    Hats - tilt to left or right?

    What Hatco COULD produce with modern materials and different blocks

    Ha! At my dept's undergraduate graduation dinner, a friend of Persian descent was asking about the dress code on behalf of her family. She asks "so should I tell my family it's fancy dress or Persian fancy dress?" My friend goes "What's Persian fancy? No tie?" ....maybe that's an...

    What Hatco COULD produce with modern materials and different blocks

    Likewise Josh, I hope you didn't take my comments as being overly critical. Your work with this hat has been great. And as usual, your documentation of the process has been most enlightening (I've got to find myself a good ol' block for my lids!). I appreciate the great dialogue and...

    The Open Road Guild

    I have a 3x which is a little bit younger than yours and Mr. Dean's, but it's one of my favorites. Congrats on that score. Just some food for thought on the crease though, if you push the back down a little bit more, you'll get really nice rake and a classic profile:

    What Hatco COULD produce with modern materials and different blocks

    Bruno likes Borsos (at least, that's what he was wearing on his most recent Saturday Night Live appearance).

    What Hatco COULD produce with modern materials and different blocks

    Nice work on the hat Josh! However, I'm with Robert in being a bit weary of the "if you build it, they will come" logic. I actually have seen some wider brims in and around SF, and several of the vintage stores on the Haight have a good selection of vintage lids. But I just don't see them...

    Bencraft hats has a really good travel hat case if you call them.

    Where to get a custom fedora?

    Frequent VS customer Daizawaguy is in Japan, so I presume that means Art ships internationally, though the conformer process internationally may be different.

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Sen. Inouye was a great American, RIP. I don't know if everybody knows the story of how he got awarded his Congressional Medal of Honor, but it's a harrowing one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Inouye#Military_service_.281941.E2.80.931947.29

    Stetson Temple Reblock

    Well, most folks here forgo modern Stetsons completely, to say nothing about reblocking them.

    My friend, if you need info on the Indy hat, point your browser to Club Obi Wan at Indygear.org, or to Fortuneandglory.org The folks there will be happy to help you out. This might wet your whistle though:

    The 3X Mess Hall

    That Tiajuana is a great color, Alan. Although, it stuck me looking at it how different the business world is today in light of the ongoing Samsung/Apple dispute. Imagine the 'intellectual property' case that Dobbs could have brought against Stetson (or Stetson against any number of companies...
