    Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!

    Not Open Crown- But New Stetson Number Forty-Seven folder ordered today, looks like they are moving fast (according to the Amazon reckoning of the inventory) & I didn't wanna miss the boat. It looks very functional if it performs as advertised. Kinda steep dollah' for a shantung, but I dunno...

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

    That was my thought too. I hope so, I nipped the photos from the auction & ran them thru Photoshop color balance, auto tone, contrast correct & co. & they came out much less warm. Your algorithms may differ. [huh]

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

    Stephen Stetson Open Road Clone Stephen L Stetson Hats- Mediocre hats with a great backstory. Nice & minty though. I am hoping for no more than a 3" brim.

    Fedoras afield

    Looks like a great trip, Ole! You ARE one crazy Sod, though. Denmark to Nashville....who'da thunk it? Give a hollar & come on over to the real Tennessee, Knoxville, The Great Smokies & Co. -a place unlike any other. Drive over the Gap to the Cherokee Rez. in North Carolina, a remnant band who...

    Cappellificio Guerra 1855 Can't find it in new catalogs, maybe it's a few years old? Wretched photos from the auction, the seller said it is "blue". We'll see I guess.

    D.I.Y. Borsalino. Comes with it's own scissors!

    Groan! That is a sharp & cutting remark! :kev: For those not of the Tribes; A bris is something like the stock market: the little guy gets cut and the big guys stand around and laugh. ;)

    D.I.Y. Borsalino. Comes with it's own scissors!

    While foraging about for something else entirely I came across this & thought it might be of interest. Would you use it? Could you use the scissors on other brims? What's the advantage to the curve? Why didn't I think of this? Reactions? Great idea? Or Borsalino "jumps the shark"?
