They say the first step is admitting you have a problem...
Good point. I've been obsessively collecting things ever since I was a kid. I'm trying to slow down now mainly because my tastes are getting a lot better. You can't find out what you really like until you try a little bit of everything, I guess. Just like you guys promised, I'm getting... -
They say the first step is admitting you have a problem...
And I think I have one. (A problem, that is.) OK, I've just counted...and I now have reached the milestone of 30 hats. What does this mean? It means, generally, that it's time to quit! (For a while, anyway.) I'm bidding on a few last hats which I'm pretty sure I'll die without, then I... -
Some good lookin' hats
Not a bad idea. I run cross a lot of vintage hats, too, as I know a girl who does the whole estate sale thing here in AZ. She makes her living off of costume jewelry on eBay, but she mentioned that she sees hats all of the time, but doesn't want to get that involved with it and will pass them... -
Stetson felt question
That one's cooler than mine. No, mine's good too...but I really like that one you've got there. You certainly have some nice hats. i think the bash on #10 is one of the greatest bashes I've ever seen. I'm going to try to copy that in my Cavanagh (if I ever get it off the block)... -
Stetson felt question
Somewhere in this forum was info on this. I will try to find it... arrrgh. must be on the old Fedora Lounge. if anyone has a link to that, I'm pretty sure someone...maybe MattDeckard?...got some info from an old-timer at Stetson, and they listed the various grades from lowest to highest... -

Some good lookin' hats
Daryl - huh. from the photos, I thought you looked taller. You're right, you've got me beat. But Ren is right - you can do something about it. I have a lot of upper body strength and that section's pretty developed from 15+ years of drumming...I sort of 'retired' from drumming a couple... -
Some good lookin' hats
Daryl, You never know. I weighed 150 when I was 18. I weighed in at 148 this morning, and I just turned 30. Not only do I not exercise (although I do play drums once and again), but I don't eat particularly healthily either. It's a mystery to me. In high school, my waist was a 32, but... -
The Antique Question: Refinish or Refurbish?
I operate on the theory that I'll never, ever resell almost anything I own (this is why we just had to move into a bigger house). The question of an item's monetary worth is one you only need to consider if you're ever going to resell it. Otherwise, the item's worth is judged by how useful...- havershaw

Some good lookin' hats
No problem, Dusty. generally stuff at vintage stores both here and in LA. The pants sizes are always way way too big for me (I have a size 30-31 waist), and the jackets are always much too roomy. Online it seems to be the same case. size 42-44 and up. A lot of 46 also (I'm talking about... -
Some good lookin' hats
Andykev - maybe we should swap home states for a while. All I ever find in vintage suits are your size - and I'm a size 38, so I barely ever find anything that'll fit me. -

Hitch
Has anyone been to Universal Studios (in Hollywood) recently? Is the original film house and motel still there? I took the tour many years ago (mainly to see the Psycho house, something I had waited 25 years to be able to see!), and they had built exteriors for Spielberg's The Lost World in...- havershaw

Visit to Vintage Sillhoutettes
Can you hear that dripping sound? That would be my drooling. -
Vintage Bogie Cavanagh Ebay Find
I agree. That is a beautiful specimen. I saw it on eBay, and I didn't bid on it only because I knew you were having trouble finding one in your size on eBay. Glad it turned out so well! You know, a lot of my vintage hats have little...we'll call them "character traits," like the brim deal... -
And yet something different again...
I'm hardpressed to believe that 1980s and 1990s furniture and appliances will be worth a ton someday. I'm still waiting for my moonboots to be worth something...- havershaw

They've blown it again...
I spoke with a prop guy from the film, and he mentioned that while he didn't know much about the costuming, he said that he was pretty sure Leo's hat was vintage. He recalled there being a big search for a hat that matched Hughes' hats in a few photos (a quest I have embarked upon from time to... -
How do you store your hats?
Matt Deckard: You should give some of us a shot at some of your hats beofre they hit eBay...I personally can handle the 7-1/8 hats and from what I've seen of your stash, well, some of those hats would love to live here in Arizona. I can tell. -
How do you store your hats?
Yeah, I've never seen a moth either, and we have cats, so that keeps us bug-free. I personally like seeing all of the hats on the rack. Helps remind me what I've got, and helps me to rotate daily. Back when I did store a couple in boxes...well, out of sight, out of mind, and they didn't get... -
Introduction and a question
I just PM'd you without looking at this message. By all means, bring by whatever you've got! Hope you get your new hat by then. -
How do you store your hats?
Just curious. I keep most of mine on one of my two vintage hatracks in my house - I have a few styrofoam wig heads which I keep a couple of hats on - but I'm out of room now. Do any of you guys actually keep your hats in those vintage boxes? I have a bunch, but for some reason, I never...
