    Fur Felt- repair / restoration

    Anyone suggest acid-free linen tape? It's what you use to hinge prints into a mat. Art supplies places should have rolls.

    Fur Felt- repair / restoration

    ...or if you have a sweater shaver, you can often run it over a hat and have enough fluff to effect a repair.

    Agreed. It all depends on how much brim you are willing to give up, if you're just talking stretching---> one size only e.g. - 7 3/8 to a 7 1/2, done sloooooww and incrementally.

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

    The Shady Oaks was the only Carter hat I was aware of. During my childhood, while he was still living, Carter was famous worldwide for handing these out like Chiclets to visitors to his Ft. Worth ranch. It made an impression on me 'cause he was also one hellava art collector and museum...

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

    I cannot understand why I had zero competition for a Peter Bros. Shady Oak Forty! In a 7 1/2 yet! It's an old one with the prominent marking indicating 'Swiss Hoods'. Arguably the most storied CB hats of the 2o'th century, Amon Carter and all. Call me a heretic, but I am likely to cut the brim...

    Panama Hat Thread

    HAPPY STRAW HAT DAY! a month early As new as the end of last years straw season. A HELEN KAMINSKY, from Australia, clearly a subfino brisa (right?) but feels great and sits quite lightly. They seem to be terribly overpriced when new, though, the workmanship is nice, fwiw.

    Beautiful Borso, Perfect condition size 7 (Punti 5) $59 shipped.

    Beautiful old Borso, thought I might luck out with a Punti seven, but alas, no. So it's yours for what I have in it. Some days you screw the pooch... PM me here, please. ...now I know a punti 5 correlates with a US 7 1/8 but this one might well need a gentle reminder (stretch). Worth it.
