    Just got my first hat in..

    Thanks for all the tips everyone. I have gotten the bash to stay, minus the front pinch, but that's no big deal to touch up every other day or so. I decided to try just steaming it by boiling water in a pot and then opening the steam valve on the lid, which was a success. The only issue I...

    Just got my first hat in..

    Thanks for the compliment. While I liked that look, it just wasn't what I wanted in the end so I did some googling around and found what a real teardrop looked like, so I gave it a go. One thing as you'll see in the pictures is the front pinches have issues. Since this hat's felt is so soft...

    Just got my first hat in..

    Thanks for the info, and you were quite right, it is hard to get a nice defined bash in this hat, though it may be just me. I couldn't get a "classic fedora" bash to stick with this hat so got a little daring and managed to come out of it with this... Not sure if I'd call it a C-Crown or a...

    How to find hat shops

    Well, I finally took the plunge. I picked up an Akubra Sydney hat in Charcoal from David Morgan. I wanted to get the Casual Hat (mainly because it's precreased) but naturally it didn't come in my size. So now that I've taken the plunge, I've got a couple questions to ask while I await...

    How to find hat shops

    Thanks for the information, still hoping I'll find a local place to buy but I guess it's looking like I'll have to purchase online. Thanks for the recommendation on where to buy where they have no hassle returns. -Jeff

    How to find hat shops

    I'm new here and was hoping you all could help me find a hat shop in my area. I live in Syracuse, NY and wouldn't mind driving about an hour so that would be the Syracuse, Binghampton, Utica, Rochester and Oswego areas. I've found a few shops in New York City, but that's out of the question as...
