Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Wow. I don't understand that. I have one of those in much better shape with the original box. I might have to consider listing it after seeing that final price! -
The Conversion Corral
TJ, that is going to be a great looking hat! Was it a Stetson Nutria? Do you have any pictures of the old sweatband and liner? The old Stetson Nutria's always had such beautiful liners and sweatbands. I wish I could find an old Nutria in my size but 7 1/2's are pretty scarce. I do have a new... -

The Penney's Marathon
Those are two beautiful hats! Tommy the stamp on the back of your sweatband is the Brotherhood of Leather Cutters, a union and not Lee Hats. However, Lee did make the Marathons. -

It must be the angle of the photographs because both those crowns look like they are 6 or 7 inches tall to me! -

Professional Golfers' Hats
Looks like you got a lot of miles out of that one, dh66. It has some real character. I don't know anything about coconut straw hats but Guatemalan straw hats are cheap and very durable. I like to buy the open crown hats from Sunbody and crease them myself. They are easy to crease and fun to... -
Need hat advice
Definitely stay away from wool hats! Here is the thread about Sterkowski hats. I have never owned one but from the comments in the thread it appears to be a nice hat for the price. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?77845-Sterkowski-hats-opinions-experiences-wanted-please... -

The straw hats he wore later in his career were made by Mallory. Here is an advertisement for them. -

Great video. Thanks for sharing it Jeff. -
Pike Mennonite Dress Hat
bowlerman, that hat looks good on you. I actually don't mind a stiff felt on a hat as long as I can get the crown and brim the way I want it. It sounds like these may be too stiff to make any drastic changes to the crease and brim. -

At what weather temp is it time to put fur felt to sleep for the summer?
I had to have a couple of basal cell carcinomas removed from the top of my head. That is when the dermatologist told me to stick with felt hats. It is not only the brim width that provides protection it is the felt crown too. A straw will allow UV rays through the crown...and brim too. -
Pike Mennonite Dress Hat
Thanks for the info guys. My quick search on the Lounge didn't turn up much. I might have misspelled Mennonite though. Too bad about all the shellac in the hat. I thought it would look nice with some side dents and the front brim turned down slightly. What kind of sweatband did it have... -
Pike Mennonite Dress Hat
This is an interesting looking hat. I like the flange of the brim. Does anybody have one of these or know anything about them? http://www.amishcraft.com/cgi-local/ddoptionsl.cgi?si=/&id=143 -
At what weather temp is it time to put fur felt to sleep for the summer?
I wear felt hats year round and it gets hot here in South Texas. I work outside on ranches mostly and prefer the durability of a felt. I have some nice straw hats (Panama, Milan) but I consider them to be more dress hats. I also like the UV protection of a felt hat. A dermatologist told me once... -

Beautiful Borsalino, Purplesage! Reminds me of the hat Gyp Rossetti wore in Boardwalk Empire. -

Post New Hats Here!
I think you might be right bowlerman. After a quick Google search I found some sites that refer to it as Buffalo Wool. The site below states that is not technically classified as wool but is very similar. http://www.americanbuffaloproducts.com/products/properties.html -
Post New Hats Here!
Welcome Asmo. Very nice hat. Great looking VS, NewJack. Art's hats are fantastic. It wasn't until I bought one of Art's hats that I realized how comfortable a hat could feel. I have a very long oval and have always had to "break in" a hat before it ever became comfortable to wear. Art's hats... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
That could be a nice looking hat without the feather and a different ribbon. With a different ribbon or maybe a horsehair band and a little tweaking of the crown it could have the look of a western style Homburg.
