Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I have been looking for a Pocket Borsalino in 7 1/2 or 7 5/8 with the little box. Nothing after about 4 months. Then a week ago I see this one on eBay. Its listed as 6 1/2 but it occurs to me that this may be the French size.... so it would really be 7 1/2? I ask the question and then see... -

Hatshapers.com sells inexpensive plastic hat shapers. I have a couple of good wood hat blocks for crown shaping. But I do not have anything but my hands and steam for brim shaping. HatShapers sells their crow blocks with an added brim shaper. But the brim is turned down, away from the... -

I am purchasing a old fur felt hat that is pretty mashed up. The felt is in great condition but the shape is not. I have a nice garment steamer and a wood hat crown block. And I have removed creases and reshaped crowns successfully. So I know that I can do that on the new hat. But the brim... -
Borsalino "Pocket" hat in a Small box
The reason I am asking is that I have found one at a store and it has the triangular box and it looks feather weight. But I was expecting a grosgrain band but its leather. Makes me think someone had a feather weight and an old box and matched the two -

Borsalino "Pocket" hat in a Small box
I have been fascinated with these older Borsalino 'Pocket" hats. I have seen them folded or rolled into that triangular box and sitting outside the box after they have been blocked and or steamed back into shape. And the photos look great. When I was at Vintage Silhouettes picking up my new... -

If you ordered open crown it will need to be shaped. Art will do it for you while you wait, or help you do it.... or you can do it! -

Post New Hats Here!
Just picked up my first made to order felt fedora from Art Fawcett. A very streamlined experience. I met Art for the first time today and he was a real patient gentleman. He answered every question I had. He put a diamond crown on it. The felt is exactly what I hoped for. Its a beaver fur... -

"A rolled hat will always eventually look like a rolled hat"?
I am still pretty new to the hat thing. At one of my first hat stores I was really intrigued with the folded or rolled hats. It seemed like the perfect solution for all those moments when you are like " where am I going to put this hat". I talked with the salesman and he said the folded... -

Here is a better set of picts for my new Panama Hats Direct hat. I wanted a very wide brim with a non-leather sweatband and not too much stiffener and I roll these hats up. I have been doing it on another panama and it works great. Or course it takes a little work to get it back in shape and... -
Panama Hat Direct Question
Finally got my Panama today and I am very happy with it. It is a fino with a very wide brim, just like I ordered it. So would I order from them again... yes. Although next time I would be overly communicative. Here is one pic. -
Panama Hat Direct Question
Now they are saying they will ship it direct to me instead of shipping it to GA first. I am not even sure why they ship it to GA first? Cheaper? If I get a tracking number in the next few dys I will stick with them but if not I will cancel. Wonder how hard getting a refund will be. One other... -

I am not sure exactly. I think it was late about 17 June. He said the lead time then was about 5-6 weeks. I got the conformer in about a week. And sent it back the next day. Then there were some back and forth emails on the style and type of felt. I then got a call a few days ago that I... -

Panama Hat Direct Question
Are these guys ok? I orded a fino back in late May and got the hat in mid June. It took about 2-3 weeks. The packaging was poor and was crushed. The wood box was in pieces. The brim was too short than what was advertised. The Crown looked shorter than the picture. I ordered a non-leather... -

Made a bag for my hat!
I wanted to protect two rollables that I am bringing on a big vacation later this year. I found i could roll my hat and fit in a 3" mail tube but I had to roll it too tight. THe at would fit comfortably in a 4" tube but two 4" tubes would take up a lot of room in my suitcase. I saw on the... -
