    The Cap Faction

    Oh, I'm a dyed-in-the-blood Hat People fan. By "first" I was referring to the Full Cut (my fault, that was unclear). I already own three Extra Full Hat People Newsboys. I have owned several other caps over the years - including Kangol, Dobbs, Capas, Dockers, and Hanna. I still have the...

    Summery Hats and Stuff to Sell

    Now that spring is at hand, I guess it's time to renew my efforts to sell off a few warmer-weather items that might be of interest here. I have more photos (or can take more) of everything here, so feel free to ask. Prices do NOT include shipping. Will ship to U.S. and Canada. Sale Pending...

    My mysteriously red face probably adds to the ethnic blurring! lol

    Stetson Nostalgia Discontinued?

    I think marketing and distribution may have held it back a bit. From shopping online, I found few vendors who carried it, mostly in only one color, with limited sizes. Most said very little about what the open crown concept was (some just showed the shaped photo, no description, which was...

    The Cap Faction

    I recieved my newest acquisition some time ago, and I've been meaning to post pics. Of course, I kept forgetting to take pics. When I did, I kept forgetting to upload them off the camera, and then I kept forgetting to... well, you get the idea. But, here we are. Better late than never. My...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Well, now... that's a cool twist.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    That is one dapper hat! I am not a fan of silverbelly, but I wouldn't mind having that beauty on my noggin.

    Archie Bunker hat?

    I was going to say that Archie appeared in more than one series, including guest spots. Either that, or somebody got swindled.

    Why It's Hard to Wear Hats in Kansas

    I have found my Fed brims pretty consistent. Once, I bought three different colors at the same time. I found the crowns different in stiffness, but not the brims. Could be luck of the draw, though. I'm thinking that a few wears in the rain will soften that tawny quite nicely. You might have...

    don't manufacturers make ladies' fur felt hats anymore

    I like the straw top hat. Not something you see very often. I'll have to schedule a stop-by next time I go to Boston.

    don't manufacturers make ladies' fur felt hats anymore

    I haven't bumped into fedoras, specifically. But I have seen fur felt derbies and westerns. They may start popping up soon, though. The canvas and straw fedora styles are becoming quite popular with young women up here in the NE, and on the west coast. Perhaps it will lead in the right...

    I hear that! Yet, like a true addict, I can't stay away.

    Why It's Hard to Wear Hats in Kansas

    I, too, find that fit has a lot to do with it. And by fit, I don't necessarily mean that snugger is better. But my first Art Fawcett lid stayed well-seated in a tornado. Sounds like Kansas weather to me! Still, I wear a newsboy as much as possible for windy weather, unless rain is also...

    Where's the cheapest place in the US to get a Fed IV?

    Don't let the Australian location fool you. If the Fed IV was available in the states, you would spend as much or more on it after the import taxes and what-not that the vendor would have to tack on. As gtdean48 says, in the US, your choices are all second hand.

    New Christy's Foldaway 7 1/2

    I use flickr for posting pictures. I open an image from flickr to it's own window, then paste the url into the the "insert image" field here.

    That first newsboy - is that a greenish primary color, or gray?

    Glued in liners

    I agree. Plus, if it's tacked, it will be easier (and less destructive) to remove or replace.

    Now that's an interesting looking hat, rlk. In a good way.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Love it! I think I'm getting addicted to black hats, because now I've got a THREE on my want list!

    Is it possible to un-taper an accidental taper?

    It's possible that the hat started out with that taper, but the new crown shape just amplifies it. In any case, I would recommend either sending it out for a reblock (since you'll probably spend just as much finding a block/form to use on it, and possibly mess up), or just let it be.
