    Oh, believe me, I count myself very lucky to have a hatter 10 minutes away. D Bar J hats is in Vegas...might want to inquire about their services as well.

    I cannot personally vouch for any of them, although several loungers can attest to all three. I have a local hatter in Paul's hat works that services my hats, so I've never had to ship one out. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to call Optimo if push came to shove however. Cleanahat recently...

    If you don't have a hat brush, you need a hat brush. I don't know if Art does reblocks. Optimo certainly does, cleanhat.com does, Falcon Park will do it, etc, etc.

    You could try a kettle but if it were me, I'd just have it reblocked and request to have it back open crown. Of course, that's easy for me to say because I have a local hatter, and I'm lazy ;). Many have had good luck with steam and a brush. Although its been my experience that the felt's...

    anti-hat article | The Guardian UK

    As the kids say these days "haters gonna hate." I'm quite alright with my sense of fashion, and my sense of fashion includes fedoras. I have priorities other than appeasing a Guardian columnist.

    JonnyO, nice Playboy! I just won one of my own on eBay this morning, so I'll be joining the Playboy club soon, hope it looks half as good on me.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I know they offered reblocks and what not....do you know if they do that in house or if they send it out? I brought my 3X Open Road down there to get cleaned, and despite the fact that I asked for it open crown, and I saw her write it on the tag, it came back with a (sloppy) c-crease, and they...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Thanks Mr. Dean. I was just checking through the Dating Stetsons by size tag thread and it looks like this one might be late 50's/early 60's.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I've stretched hats out before, but don't have a flange. Luckily for me, I have a hat maker nearby in Paul's Hat Works.

    But on the other hand, it's a raw edge brim, so it's only a trim away from whatever you want.

    Musician's hats

    Yeah, that's sure what it looked like to me. We were up in the lawn. It's funny, after a Dylan concert, it's always interesting to hear people's takes. I for one, really dig his arrangements now, and I think it makes sense considering that he can't really sing anymore. But he he has a huge...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I find myself sticking to darker felts or greys. I do have two brown hats, and I love my brown Dobbs Gay Prince. But I have my eye on another eBay hat that I want more as well :cool: Speaking of the Gay Prince, somebody got a good deal on this one...

    Don't know if there are any regular Saturday Night Live viewers here, but this week's host/musical guest Bruno Mars was wearing a Borso: http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/bruno-mars-locked-out-of-heaven/1421368 I'm not particularly a fan of his music, but nice to see a taller...

    Hard to say anything based on text alone. But in general assessing the value of a vintage hat is hard. eBay prices can fluctuate based on size, and the brim dimensions can make a difference too.

    Oh, I like the liner in that one too! Bob's hats are stunning and that Savannah is no exception. Congrats on the lid.
