    Fact or fiction Hat Size

    Oddly enough, when I wore a 7 3/8 I couldn't find vinatage hats in that size to save my life... unless they were totally beat. Now I'm a 7 1/2, and I see nice 7 3/8 all the time! lol :eusa_doh: I think, for whatever reason, smaller hat sizes were simply more commonly worn and produced...

    Silicone reinforcement inside hat crowns???

    That is so cool.

    vintage vs. custom

    I hold the belief that the right custom hat is just as good as the right vintage hat. If I found myself torn between two such hats, in my size, price would be the deciding factor. Like HungaryTom said, over $250, you might as well go for one of Arts or Oak's or Moore's. You know you'll get...

    Too Small?? Too big? Just right? or How to wear a hat!

    Your sizing method is sound, and represents the so-called "ideal" seating for a hat. But as with most utopias, it's mostly just a thin illusion rather than a reality. Hat's are not sized perfectly, not all heads (and ears) are the same, and not all wearers like the same things. Many hats in...

    Perforated Biltmore......

    Bolt, that is really cool. I love the pork pie bash! That just looks like one of those fun hats.

    Showcase of Non-Indy Federations

    Thanks for the kind words, all. Yeah, I really like the look of those DM Squatters. I'm reconsidering one, as I didn't care for the standard version. DM's higher crown really makes a difference.

    Goodbye Polaroid!

    I can see why the instant Polaroid is going away. Most digital cams get a better photo, and are just as instant. Many professions (like crime scene units) have switched to digital, and the role is well filled. However, I know a few shutter-bugs, including my Uncle who used to be a...

    Do you consider Batman a "hat movie"

    I copied the bash of one of them a while back. The dirty detective's. I worked that into my Miller open crown Raider. Looked perfect, too. I think that was the only hat in Batman that cared for.

    Long Black Suit jacket SOLD

    Gents, for some reason my edit from last night did not take. :eusa_doh: It has been sold. However, since you asked; It is not an overcoat. The material and weight is like a suit jacket, and it's not sized generously enough to wear over anything but a shirt. If you've ever watched...

    Showcase of Non-Indy Federations

    Ooo! I like that one, Anj! Alright, as requested, my Fed III on my head, moments before braving the snow and sleet outside! Yes, I know. The coat is dreadful. But it's my shoveling coat, and in my defense of the color; it looked OD green in the catalog!

    What the heck does Jughead wear?

    I had one of those hats when I was a kid. Genuine from my grandparent's days! It was not in any way made from a fedora, I can tell you that. It was lightweight, floppy, black felt. I'd still have it, except I had a very destructive puppy that managed to reach very high places when I wasn't...

    Showcase of Non-Indy Federations

    I don't think it can really be called a pork pie, at this point, but I'll take it. :D I was thinking "telescope." I was inspired by a hat I once saw DeForest Kelley wear, but it had more brim curl. I'll work on more pics.

    Long Black Suit jacket SOLD

    It looks like a coat, but it's not. I want to call it a frock jacket, but I don't know. [huh] It is black, 100% polyester, made in Canada by Chateau Works. Hidden 4 button closure. If it was worn (I don't know), it does not look it. Tag says size 46, but it feels like a very slim cut to...

    2 Leather Blazers for sale

    1. "Oakwood" three-button black leather blazer. Worn maybe two or three times. No damage, no signs of wear. Size tag says Large. It almost fits me, and I usually wear a 50, or a generous 48. I would like to get $50 plus shipping within U.S, but I will accept reasonable offers. 2...

    Bow Tie for Sale

    Freestyle standard bow, only tried on a few times. Made by Beau Ties, called the Attu Island. Adjustable size; I have it adjusted for about a 19 neck, but should have a good two inches more to work with, and can be made smaller. I like it, but it just doesn't work with anything I own, so...

    OK, here's my last remaining Fed III, recently rebashed. I just wanted something different.

    Help: Borsalino v Stetson size differance

    Yeah, I think modern Stetsons run larger than they used to. Your friend may be thinking that way.
  23. Not-Bogart13

    Size advice please

    It should be pointed out that most people who have bought a Federation have found them to run slightly large.
