    A Dobbs model question

    I favor Dobbs in terms of straw hats, and I have found many models that are only carried by one or two vendors. You may have encountered such a hat. I haven't bumped into it so far. [huh]

    how do you store your hat?

    Looks like the unreleased sequel to The Birds! :eek: I keep my lids in boxes, mainly. It keeps them safe and dust free. But I usually keep a few out and handy as a "current rotation" kind of thing. I use these to hold those hats; http://www.noggintops.com/page.cfm?p=86 Or I put...

    Akubra slouch hat

    WPG does indicate that it's a British version, so maybe it's accurate for that, rather than the Aussie. [huh] Looks like a narrower brim, too.

    NEWS BOY CAPS

    I just talked to them. Nothing quite like it right now. I'm going with something they described as a houndstooth-like pattern of dark gray, light gray, blue, and a touch of teal green! :D

    Clooney's cap in "Leatherheads"

    It looks like a generously cut driving cap to me. Nicest one I've seen, too.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    I am 90% sure that's a Wallstreet, or one styled the same way.

    NEWS BOY CAPS

    Lou; that picture would be equal to Hat People's Etra Full. Feraud; Check out page 6 of this thread, and also, here's a link to my extra full, which is burried elsewhere in the thread, I think. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27810273@N04/sets/72157608237196974/

    "Australia" Film Hats

    As it turns out, not all Squatters are created equal. It depends where you buy it. The David Morgan version, for example, has a higher and fuller crown compared to the direct Australian imports I've seen. I have held one on my hand, and the brim to crown ratio was a bit off. I'd say about a...

    Brown Hat and Black Coat?

    The advice I've gotten (and read here and there on this forum) is that the hat should match something that you are wearing; if not the coat, then something underneath. Some contend that this "rule" is very flexible (even breakable), but for those still taking there first steps in matching the...

    My second Work of Art: on time for Christmas!

    Very Nice, indeed. That must be a very deep crown bash to balance out the brim and crown. Looks fantastic.

    Borsalino Religious Collection?

    As I understand it, Borso (and a couple of others) keep a few simple, plain hats in production that meet the needs of the Orthodox Jewish communities and a few others that wear brimmed hats daily.

    Looking for a hat...NEED HELP

    In U.S. Dollars, $190 isn't bad, but it's more than I would pay, normally. As a rule, I try to not to pay more $150 for rabbit felt.

    Looking for a hat...NEED HELP

    I never heard of those guys, so I can't speak to quality or reputation. However, I assume those prices are in Canadian dollars, otherwise it's way too much for a rabbit felt or wool felt. Allow me to give you the absolute shortest primer in felt hats I can muster, Addic. Beaver felt is...

    Looking for a hat...NEED HELP

    The ribbon being shiny could be the light, or just the material. But you are right, the brim on Depp's hat is much wider. He favors 2 3/4" and 3" brims. I'm thinking it might be a vintage Borsalino. If you have the money and the patience, and you mainly want to duplicate the hat (rather...

    AUCTION #143: Stetson - Royal Stetson - Size 7 1/2 - C0000228868 - SOLD

    Congrats, Bill! That's a nice one. I saw one of those in person once... 4 sizes too small, naturally! :eusa_doh: You will have well-deserved braggin' rights! ;)

    Adventurer v Federation IV Deluxe

    You know, I just realized something. There are two hats called the Adventurer, and both have actually been discussed here. Akubra and Christy's! For the record; Of the two Adventurers, Akubra's is the sturdiest. The Christy has seen mixed results upon getting wet. I don't think this...

    Adventurer v Federation IV Deluxe

    As BF says, the exchange rate of US Dollar to Australian Dollar favors the US right now. The adventurer and federation are pretty well equal in terms of quality. There are two main differences; 1. The Adventurer has a wider brim, which not everybody likes. 2. Due to the exchange rate, it...

    Unknown Hat

    That wpl-5923 must not be a model number, because it shows up in listings for many wool hats. If you want any shot at identification, best to post photos inside and out, as well as the tag or tags.

    Hatpeople cap

    That cap really suits you well. I don't think the full cut will be noticably different. Recent photos seem to show little difference. The extra full will be much more generous. I can say that for sure. :D
