Anybody know how to tighten a wind trolley?
gtdean, the problem is when I slide it back to adjust it to the crown it just slides right back. Here are a few quick pictures I took. A picture from the top showing the loose cord. A close up of the front of the button. A close up of the rear of the button. It looks like to me... -
Anybody know how to tighten a wind trolley?
Yes, I understand how the loop works but once it is looped around the crown it is too big. The snap I was referring to is the back of the button. It looks like if you could remove the back of the button you could remove some length of the cord and snap it back in. It is hard to explain without... -

Anybody know how to tighten a wind trolley?
I recently purchased a nice older Stetson Open Road with a wind trolley. The trolley is too long though and flops around on the hat. After looking at it closely the back of the button looks like it snaps into place. I gently tried to open it but didn't get any movement so I stopped. I don't want... -

I know exactly what you mean. I stumbled across one of those a few months back. I just happened to be online when it was posted. I think from the time it was posted to me using the BIN was less than 10 minutes. -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I was watching that Stetson 100 but it got out of my league quick. The name in the hat (Robert B. Tootell) was unusual though so I Googled it. There was a man by that name who was in the Eisenhauer Administration. He was the head of the Farm Credit Association. Might have had some effect on the... -

Mine is the one for sale. It is a 7 1/4 Extra Long Oval. I wear a 7 3/8 Long Oval so it doesn't fit. It is pretty close but I wouldn't want to try and stretch an older hat like this. -

Bowlerman, yes I have one listed in the classifieds that is too small for me. I posted a link to it above in post #942. It is a nice one but just doesn't fit me :( -

Heart attack {Chief000731 Carl}
I just looked at the Ronald McDonald House website and I was incorrect. Apparently they are for families with sick children in the hospital. I thought they were for families with any aged sick loved one. Sorry for the confusion but I would have sworn a friend of mine's wife stayed in one while... -
Heart attack {Chief000731 Carl}
Sandi, that is great news. I'm glad he is doing better. Baylor is a great facility too. You might want to look into the Ronald McDonald facilities in that area. They provide living accommodations close to hospitals for relatives with loved ones. Major Moore, that is a first class gesture. I... -
Do any of the hat-makers here sell satin liners?
I've been wondering the same thing. I need 3 or 4 too and couldn't find anything on the internet. If one of the hat makers here would like to sell some they can count me in on a few depending on the price. -
Homburg Nation
Bowlerman, the C-Crown crease looks great. I wish the Homburg I have fit because the felt on it would be great for a similar crease. -
