Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
I agree. When I put the 10x and 20x together I could not tell any difference except for different liners and sweatbands. The felt seemed exactly the same to me. -
What is your favorite aircraft of all time?
That is very interesting about General Olds funeral. Did the Luftwaffe F4's come all the way from Germany to the US specifically for his funeral? -
Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
Since he sold out of those last year so quickly I just assumed he would order more this year. They were nice hats and I have enjoyed mine. -
Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
Doug, I still haven't made it down to his shop. Is he going to have his 20x and 30x Open Roads again this year? If so, that may be why he was not too excited about these :) -
Langenberg Hat Co. destroyed by fraud
Don't get me wrong, I think it is wonderful that custom hatters like Major Moore ended up with some of the better stuff. I just hate to see a hat factory that old be totally dismantled. -

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
The frayed bow truly is magnificent. I've come back to this thread several times in the past day just to look at that bow! -
Gary White-The Custom Hatter
Thanks for posting the video Alan. Is Gary responsible for all the hats on Boardwalk Empire? If so, that seems like a lot of work for a one man shop. I did notice in a past episode that one of the hats appeared to be a true vintage hat. I can't remember the hat brand or episode but you could... -
Langenberg Hat Co. destroyed by fraud
It makes me sick to think about all that old equipment, hat making tools and ribbons being sold at the Beaver Brands auction. It is too bad somebody couldn't keep it all together and get the factory back up and running. -

Akubra Campdraft
I used the method that carranty suggested. I actually sacrificed a cheap cloth measuring tape by cutting it down to about 25" so it would be easier to handle. I then taped it together so it made a loop and I could easily take it off and put it back on after adjusting the size. Once I had the... -

Jeff, Do you have any idea yet what they will cost? -
Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
Doug, I was thinking about asking him about these but I haven't been down there in a few months. I might stop by and see what he says. Have you asked him about them? -
movie hats that inspired you...
Speaking of Boardwalk Empire, I ran across this Youtube video last night. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=APrtNX0khzE&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DAPrtNX0khzE In case that link doesn't work, the title of the YouTube video is: "From Buffalo to the Boardwalk: Custom Hat Making For HBO's Boardwalk... -

Those Stratoliners sure look nice in the pictures. I wish I could see one in person. -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Beautiful hats guys and beautiful work Art! G.durand, when Art first posted pictures of the Dusty Lane I had to have one too. I love the subtle elegance of the tone on tone ribbon and felt. I've had mine about a week now and have been wearing it daily. The compliments have been numerous from my... -

The nicest comment I ever heard
One day last week I had missed lunch and was very hungry. So on my way home I decided to stop off at an old diner here in San Antonio and have an early dinner. The name of the diner is the Tip Top Cafe. It has been around since 1938 with very little changes to the place. Just to set the stage... -

John Galt, Thanks for posting the photo. The hat looks to be in great shape. -
The Open Road Guild
Worf, It was advertised as something for both the city and country. Here is one of many advertisements for it. -
Hard Heart Hats
The new hat is looking good! Those are interesting blocks that you use. They look like they have Panama straw on the outside of them. Are they wooden underneath with straw on the outside? -
