What hat with a leather motorcycle style jacket ?
David- nice jacket! I however would opt for a lighter colored fedora- either an OR or the many clones- or a different colored Borsalino-style- maybe Adam/Dobbs etc. with a contrasting ribbon and edge binding- a medium brown body with a copper-ish ribbon would be interesting... and you... -
Motorcycle rider: where do you keep your hats?
I wear 'em all, stacked up as high as I can get 'em. Then put it in reverse, pop a wheelie, and have my insanity plea tucked neatly in the side-bag... -

I found an 18thC table in the attic - pictorial
great find! and do hold onto things before you either toss or sell- that mundane phone will fetch a pretty penny... and I've got a home for the Blue sleigh in the rafters. A serious note: try and get the provenance of each piece, trace things back as far as possible-and check with...- ideaguy

Febreeze on My Stetson
It happened to me-unawares-opened the hat box, what was a beautiful hat- was still beautiful-but STINK...try to give it as much fresh air as posssible, in a shady location; DON'T steam it- will only set the "fragrance". Best of all- send it out to Optimo ASAP with details, and pray. Sorry to... -

Longhairs & Fedoras
well...haven't cut my hair since Oct., and is getting to be pretty long and plenty thick- almost p-tail material (definitely heatstroke material), and find that I like the look and feel of my classic fedoras just as much as when my hair was very short. As an "artiste"-I can get away with all... -

Tony- yer killin' me...anyone out there wants to part with a foldable Borsalino- please let me know-7 3/8 or 7 1/2, and have plenty of hats to trade...[huh] -
Do I Dare Go Thin.....?
WOW!! What a difference 1/4" or so can make- I like the Navy, Chocolate, and maybe Maroon, dependant on the body color. Chose the Navy first because of the contrast; a rule of thumb (so I hear) is to NOT use high contrast with this type of hat- it tends to cut the hat in half; in this case... -

Looking for expert repair on a Borsalino
Following Tony B's remarks- I too save bits and pieces-and entire hats-just for the chance to refurbish a good hat myself; I own the the hat, I wear it, and it doesn't matter to me if it's not 100% pure. Rather have a hat I can keep wearing than be a purist. And foldable Borsalino's---I'll... -
Do I Dare Go Thin.....?
Well...the crown is so strong, at least from the angles you show it from, that it seems like the thin ribbon gets a little lost. (and this from a thin-ribbon guy) I'd try a 5/8" ribbon and see if the balance is better-you're contending with a great crown w/crease, and smooooth transition to a... -
Crown perforations
Tony: I remember seeing a thread last year with the same topic, and plenty of photos of wonderful perforated felts-in those early colors, light greens, etc... and the concensus was ( I think ) the perforations were mostly an advertising/ marketing attempt at keeping the felt market alive... -
