    Stetson One Hundred

    DINERMAN!!! Congratulations! whatta deal. Every time I think the horizon looks bleak, there's nuttin' new, BOOM! you drop a bomb like that, and the shrapnel's all candy. Woke me the heck up. Sincere best wishes for you with this new hat-new style for you-and elevated to...

    STETSON 7x CLEAR BEAVER QUALITY

    both ribbons look fine; however, being the contrarian that I'm cursed to be, I'd try a ribbon about half the size of the one you slipped on; the hat has a definite Western feel to it (IMHO)-and going with a wider ribbon seems to make a transition that tries hard, but just misses the mark by a...

    Stetson One Hundred

    I'm in complete agreement, Tony- I've even attemped to stop altering hats myself, and send them out to an expert. But when it's 2 sizes small...all ya can do is sit back and watch the felt fly. In this case-not much action on a very desirable hat. I've got a couple of One Hundreds-not by...

    Stetson Open Road - 7 1/2

    great job! funny how things right under our noses get overlooked... you'll love the hat-a piece of non-asked-for advice-put it over some steam, just enough to get things warm and piable-inside & out-and then plop that baby right on yr noggin. Works for me- the hat will take on my head's...

    My new (vintage) Borsalino

    Now that there is one sweet hat! I'd get it cleaned & reblocked, and if it fits you, you might not want to take it off...great price for that hat, great color, what more could you ask for? (yeah, I know- one in my size, too...):eusa_clap

    STETSON 7x CLEAR BEAVER QUALITY

    That's one beautiful hat-and I wouldn't change the ribbon either. Looks like it's a 7 3/8's from here though...and you're only a couple of hours away...see you soon:D

    Hat repair in Boston?

    And a big thank you!! harder than Chinese algebra finding decent duds without combing through the wannabe consignment shops or at the other end - the Salvation Army; So it's off to Bobby's, looking for things I don't need, can't afford, don't have room for, and I already have three of...

    Hat repair in Boston?

    Bobby from Boston?? Can you give us an idea where this emporium is at- worth a trip in from the wild West half of the state to find a real hat store... The last real hatter I knew of in Mass. was Nadar the Hatter in Springfield. Master hatter, had tremendous selection of vintage hats, men's...

    Gone Country?

    Johnny: I've got a pile of Western hats that I'm ready to part with-Stetsons, Resisitols, Baileys-one is a 100X-most of them in lighter shades, a few are White/ Ivory...PM me if you're at all interested-let me know what size you need. By the way- 50%of them are vintage, the other half are...

    "Do the tighten up" (how to shrink leather jackets to fit better?)

    I've got a great motorcycle jacket-too big. Would love to wear it and have it work correctly-gotta keep the air out, so has to be snug at collar and bottom of body. All black, incl. lining-acetate; wondering if a dip in a hot bathtub would do the deed??? If anyone has any thoughts on this...

    gotta couple hats

    Gotta couple hats- someone scored big time on OFAS with my Borsalino Allesandria- have a couple of others up- a Stratoliner & an OR; both quality hats- the Strat's a gem. Please excuse the self-advertising...but I think I owe you guys (and ladies) a head's-up to some top-drawer hats; selling...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    First bit of cool weather in a while- wore the hat in my avatar-a Resistol "Beaver One Hundred"; thin ribbon, edge bound, 4 1/2" crown bashed into a traditional teardrop. Soft as a baby's bottom, and smells better.

    Packed up the hats ...

    Tough call...For warmer weather-a wonderful Fedora made by Bill Nadar in Springfield, MA. soft, sweet, superb lines; the colder weather hat would be a Borsalino Grand Luxe "Ditta Umberto Lanobetti"-Firenze-inside the band marked "Palladio" and then "Cocisca"; never seen the markings on any other...

    Karol: You're not alone with the photo-posting blues...I've tried just about everyone, and nuttin... Oh-excuse me- one picture. So if anyone wants photos from us, we'll email 'em right on out...or see the hats on the bay. Something is wrong, and I don't think it's just a couple of...
