    Do heads really shrink?

    Yeah, weight loss can do that, no problem. Heck, if I have a lot of sinus congestion it can effect my hat fit! On the up side, if your youngish, your head could still be growning, and you might fill out those hats again in a few years. [huh]

    Stetson Vintage Collection for 2011

    It's nice to see the direction they are going, but I'm very turned off by all these 2 3/8" brims. Couldn't they vary things a bit? :rage: I mean, they just keep cranking out Downs & Chatham clones with different ribbon treatments and renaming them. At least give them different crown and...

    The Proper Way to Wear Cufflinks?

    Best as I can tell, yes. Like an ordinary button cuff shirt, but without buttons. Just holes for the cufflinks. That's what I think I see in that picture.

    The Proper Way to Wear Cufflinks?

    I agree, they are a bit of an odd duck. I needed a new white shirt, and convertible cuffs were a good choice on a budget. I like links, but don't often have cause to wear them. So, I guess I fit into the right niche. I've also noticed that some clothing companies are trying to bring...

    The Proper Way to Wear Cufflinks?

    I was going to start a new thread, but I think this would be just as well attached here. What is the right way to wear cufflinks with a "convertible cuff" shirt? That is, a shirt that has barrel cuffs with buttons AND holes for cufflinks. Should one attempt to wear the cufflinks just as...

    How Do You Keep Your Ears Warm?

    180's, 360's, whatever. That'll teach me use numbers after midnight! :p

    How Do You Keep Your Ears Warm?

    I wear something called 360's, which are basically earmuffs designed so that the band crosses behind the head. If you wear them low in the back, they work fine. For emergencies, I also bought something called EarBuds (not to be confused with the kind you listen to music with). They are...

    Fall Clean-out - More Items 9/25

    I'm cleaning out the closets and trying to sell off some of what's gathering dust. More to come, no doubt. First up, some blazer jackets. Please note that all of them have sleeves that are correct for me (either they came that way or were altered). I wear a shirt sleeve of 33/34, and these al...

    Hat band replacement step by step

    Yeah, I hear the higher the rayon content, the better. The problem with the poly stuff is, it won't shrink to conform to the hat with steam or water. :mad: I used the link to the Dalexs instructions as a foundation for trying it. It took patience and a few finger pokes, but I my first...

    q for panama hat aficionados --

    I know what you mean, and I've considered it. But there are just times when even natural is just too light. [huh] That would be my Penman Last Crusade, 100% beaver. Thank you... and John.

    q for panama hat aficionados --

    I don't have colored panamas, but I do wear black and brown straws. The color on straw makes no real difference in terms of heat, though white and natural are regarded as more "summery." I find that black straw is very useful with grays, blues, black, and excellent with jeans. Sometimes a...

    Fawcett-VS Pecan SOLD

    I never thought I'd see the day that I would sell off a VS, but I just don't wear it enough to keep it. Basically, I'm so sensitive to the heat that there's only about a 5 degree window I can wear the lightweight felt without being too cold or too hot. Shame, because I love the felt and the...

    Question[s] about a Stetson[s]

    One good thing about modern Stetson all looking more or less the same; the older ones are easy to spot! Something like that is a steal at $50.

    Can anyone identify this Stetson

    By current prices, brand new, $80 is a good deal on a Stetson. Most Stetson deals carry them online.

    Can anyone identify this Stetson

    No doubt in my mind. It's a Downs.
