Well, I've narrowed it down to 4. No, wait... 6. 7. Yes, I'm down to seven possibilities. Plus any new ones I get before then. lol- Not-Bogart13

Spectator Shoes
If that's true... well it sucks. I can get custom made shoes for just a smidge more. :rage: Very frustrating.- Not-Bogart13

Does crushable mean packable?
Actually.... "crushable" varies in definition. More info on the hat would clarify. Some hats can be crushed, but would not survive rolling or tight packing very well. Other would. Some hats are made specifically to be rolled, not flattened, and vice verse.- Not-Bogart13

Spectator Shoes
Ah. I knew there was a thread like this. I wondered where it had gone off to. :eusa_doh: Not to be ungrateful, gents, but I did say that the vintage and budget routes had yielded nothing. Which is to say, my shoe size is not an easy fit for most vintage (at least that I have found), and...- Not-Bogart13

not snapping a brim?
I think "damage" or "ill effects" would not be a correct term, but there is an effect to leaving the brim snapped down. Odds are, you'll never notice or care if that's the way you always wear your hat. However, over time (how long probably depends on the specific felt) the brim will "learn"...- Not-Bogart13

Big Head Hat Sale Part IV- Dobbs Straw- 7 1/2
A proper 7 1/2 should be 23.5 inches. Dobbs straws usually run .25 over, but they do shrink a little with time. Anyway, Anj. Give me until noon tomorrow to stew it over, please. If you don't hear from me by then, do as you will. ;)- Not-Bogart13

Spectator Shoes
Spectator Search Well, this is not the first time I've tried my hand at finding spectator style shoes. So far I have exhausted the "budget" route, and the vintage route. Now I'm aiming for something between $100 and $200. Many of the large size spectator wing tips I have found have the...- Not-Bogart13

Big Head Hat Sale Part IV- Dobbs Straw- 7 1/2
I can't really tell the colors. Looks like bone-colored straw with gray and taupe striped ribbon. Am I even close? Also, this might sound like a wierd question, but did you measure the brim on the side or the front? Because I have a Dobbs that looks similar, but I get different...- Not-Bogart13

Engaged, with complications.
Well said, Hem. Actually, no. Which is funny, because we were both members here, but never crossed posts at all. After a year here, I join Club Obi Wan as well to learn more about Steve Delk. I ended up involved in their annual NY summits because I needed to get away and the timing was...- Not-Bogart13

lol lol lol Only on the lounge... Thank you everyone. We have started our research, and looks very complicated. But I think I'm just going to go visit a government office and get things explained, rather than trying to read legalese. To answer your question, MLong; On the lady, we...- Not-Bogart13

$15 hat pic/question
Wow. That liner really defies the overall condition of the hat. I know nothing about Wormsers, but the $10 price puts it 1950's or earlier by my guess. [huh] If I may be so bold, send that puppy to Art Fawcett for a restoration! His love and respect for vintage, his skills, and the...- Not-Bogart13

How Long Is Too Long?
There is a third truth that should be added, Dewhurst. Sometimes what we want can only be gotten through a custom hatter, because modern manufacturers do not offer what we seek. It does not invalidate what you say, but maybe explains why so many lean on the first truth, wether they...- Not-Bogart13

$15 hat pic/question
The mismatched ribbon treatment is not uncommon. I see it quite often on vintage lids, as well as custom jobs produced by member hatters here. Some people like, some don't. [huh] My first custom hat was that way, and I love the 'not quite matched' look. It's sort of like the idea of...- Not-Bogart13

How Long Is Too Long?
There are shorter waits to be had out there, but the simple fact is this; anything of quality made custom can potentially have a hefty wait time, especially with a one-man operation. It's realistic, and no doubt based on numerous factors - demand being one of them. In the end, the real...- Not-Bogart13

Cabelas Stetson Three Forks Gun Club on sale
I always kind of liked this hat, but never liked the price. I imagine the sizes are based on current stock, because I've seen a 7 5/8 in person just recently. For $70, not bad. Maybe it's time.- Not-Bogart13

Well, I've been a absent from this thread for quite a while, mainly distracted by my NEW FIANCE! :D But I will be taking a look back at all the great hats I've missed. I also thought I would post some of my recent lid choices that didn't get posted due to being more-or-less off-line. This...- Not-Bogart13

Engaged, with complications.
Happy news! I am engaged now, to my girlfriend, Stella. Some of you will remember her as Canyon, a mostly-absent member of this very forum (among others). What's so complicated? Well, she lives on another continent. Plans are forming to change that in the near future, but as many probably...- Not-Bogart13
