    Just got my Stetson Sutley...

    I find Stetsons run slightly large. I've got a Downs that's shimmed all the way around and it's still loose! The Sutley brim should just snap down by hand, as Matt said. Normally, the back is left up, but there's no reason you couldn't wear it down all the way around. Also, when you're not...

    CRAZY HAT IDEA...

    We need a list, at least for the first few people. Being in PA, maybe I could take it after Photobyalan, unless there's someone between us. I'm close to the border. Color-wise, I vote for gray or one of those in-between gray/lt. brown hats. It'll show up in pictures better, and go with most...

    Finest Cavanagh I'll never have...

    Is a Cavanagh edge always folded up, or are the ones folded downward also called Cavanagh edge?

    Can you wear your hat in YOUR vehicle?

    5'11" - I can get away with wearing my modern Stetson, with a low crown, in most midsized cars, including my 2003 Monte Carlo. However, taller crowns don't work out too well. Today, however, out of necessity, I discovered I can wear a high crown driving my fathers '05 Equinox quite...

    Help dating an Open Road

    Slightly confused I have a very dark leather band with a logo that includes both the beaver and the eagle on the coat of arms, but it's not framed, and there are no X's. That seems like it would be between Fedoralover's and Wingnut's "beaver only" logo in evolution. It's been suggested...

    When Rain was GOOD for an unprotected wool fedora

    It Half Works. Years back, my father got a "high quality" wool hat drenched in a winter ice/rain storm. I didn't have a stretcher, but I put something in the opening to prevent shrinking (at the sweatband where you'd have a stretcher). The result was that the hat was ok around the...

    Finest Cavanagh I'll never have...

    This is probably the best place to learn about hats in general. You've struck a goldmine here! I don't personally know that much, but that's one of the reasons I hang out here. Someone will have your answers. Try doing a search of the forum for "Cavanagh". And you're in Art Fawcett's...

    ART has lost his satellite

    Thank You! I'm glad you let us know. I was one of his PM's with sort of a deadline!

    Adding a Pinch

    Reminds me of me, sort of. I have a big pot with a small vent in the top. Whenever I make pasta, I check to see if I have any reshaping to do before I add the salt and macaroni! :p

    Losing your hat...

    Just this weekend I almost lost my Federation to the wind while walking my dog on Saturday. It usually stays on pretty good, and I didn't realize how windy it was until I got out there. Then I got hit by a sudden surge of wind from behind that left me clinging to the support under my deck...

    CRAZY HAT IDEA...

    What's in a name? "Rosebud!" That's great! An alternate suggestion; Lindy?

    CRAZY HAT IDEA...

    Great Ideas The world traveling hat is a great idea... all I need to do figure out where to get the picture taken. I think the log book is probably best, because not everyone will be able to get a hard-copy photograph quickly enough. Maybe we should have the photo-log posted on the lounge...

    Is it just me?

    The other, perhaps more important point... Well, I won't argue the point about him waiting to ship. It's a free internet, and we all have a right to our opinions. But even if he had shipped that very day, something most people don't know is that USPS "Priority 2-3 day" does not guarantee...

    7 3/8 Stetson Open Road, late '60s vintage...

    Your Open Road Hey, Wingnut. Tried to send you a PM, but you're full! Has that Open Road been scooped up yet? 'Cuz I'm very interested. I just have a few questions. First, what color is it? It looks tan on my monitor, but you know computers don't always show colors accurately. Are...

    Is it just me?

    Buyers can be bad, too! Buyers are more likely to be honest about their own mistakes if leaving frivalous negative comments could bite them in the butt. Even with feedback on buyers, how many times haven't I seen a buyer complaining that shipping was too slow, or the item wasn't as...

    Is it just me?

    Seller's aren't professionals I try to keep that in mind when I'm on Ebay. I've purchased quite a bit (and sold some) on Ebay, and I read the feedback. But I approach a seller's feedback and my experience with a seller with a mind toward their situation, as well as mine. I very rarely get...

    A Little Fun With The Wife ( Rated G)

    I say, find her a men's hat, 50 Gold. I don't know if it's just that they are better looking than women's hats, or if it's just the fact that it is a man's hat on a woman... but I think women look better in men's hats. (hope that didn't sound too redundant)

    Is Styrofoam bad?

    Thanks Andy I can't believe I forgot about those things. I grew up with something like that in my room! This is bad. I'm only 32 and I'm losing my memory already!
