Pic of Winchester felt and Fepsa felt
The last I heard they did. I've seen fepsa's felt sample book, it's huge, every color one can imagine and some you can't imagine. You can get fepsa felt in both rabbit and beaver. fedoralover- fedoralover

Pic of Winchester felt and Fepsa felt
True, both inside and out. So I'm curious to see how one finishes out since the hatter has a head start on the process. It still needs refinement as I am sure any decent hatter would still add their own finishing pounce on it. But I was struck by how dense the felt was. Mike has a limited...- fedoralover

Pic of Winchester felt and Fepsa felt
These are both rabbit felt. Mike hopes to get the beaver from Fepsa later on. The fepsa felt is very dense. Very close to vintage feeling IMHO. fedoralover- fedoralover

Pic of Winchester felt and Fepsa felt
I was just over at Northwest Hats and he had just received some felt bodies from Fepsa. What a contrast between it and a Winchester body. And this is just the Fepsa rabbit body, I'd love to see the beaver body. Hopefully Mike will get some of those later on. Here is a pic of them side by side...- fedoralover

The Cap Faction
I just found a Donegal Tweed cap woven by J Dorrian at St. Vinnies just my size and looks like it was seldom worn. I don't ever wear this type of cap but I could tell it was a good quality cap so I picked it up. I might wear it with a tweed jacket I just got. Anyone know much about them, I am...- fedoralover

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Almost all the bidding is by 2 people who are caught up in auction fever. Buyers remorse will set in on the winner when it's over. I've been there done that. It becomes more of an ego thing of not wanting the other guy to beat you rather than the worth of the object. The loser ends up being...- fedoralover

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Here's a couple of REAL bargains on Ebay. The sellers must be comedians as well as sellers. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Cavanagh-fedora-hat-mid-50s-Never-worn-New-In-Box-/221612212775?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276...- fedoralover

He's generally really good at responding to emails. Sometimes personal circumstances will make a delay, but most of the time he's very responsive. Last I heard wait time for a new one is around 3 months. fedoralover- fedoralover

Australian Looking For American Contacts In The Hat Industry
Always great to see our international community grow. There are a number of hatters in Oregon, 4 I know of right off and probably a few more I don't know. They are all quite congenial and like to talk hats. However please be advised, many hatters have taken years and years to perfect their...- fedoralover

BRITISH Belt-Back Suits and Sports Jackets
I saw some jackets with 2 top pockets with flaps and those do look a little too "uniform" like. But with just one it sets it off. I love scalloped pocket flaps and it took me a lot of looking to find one in my size in great shape. I looked through hundreds of Tweeds and only a few had...- fedoralover

The Official Stetson Nutria Quality Thread
True, there goes another hat that would have been used to work in the yard and to wear while you change the oil in your car and eventually end up a dirty ragged mess and totally thrown away. Now it has been given a new chance in life to live on for another few decades or more. But I understand...- fedoralover

Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds
This isn't super vintage but they don't make too many like it anymore. I found this at a Goodwill, a 1977 Don Post Studio's Tor Johnson prop. I had to get it even though I don't participate in Halloween, it's quality isn't seen in anything like it today. It now keeps watch over my garage...- fedoralover

Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.
Here's a Stetson Nutria western hat that I found at Goodwill that I had Mike convert to a fedora. It turned out rather well I'd say. It far exceeded my expectations. The ribbon and edge binding color was a perfect match up. Originally it was way too small for me and the sweatband was shot...- fedoralover

How NOT to look like Indiana Jones?!
I've been called everything from Indiana Jones, to a Cowboy, to Sam Spade, a Mafioso, and many more. But again, who cares, a lot of those same people came up to be later and asked where I got my fedora and said "I sure wish I could pull that off and wear one". My response is always, anyone...- fedoralover

In looking at his finished auctions sales it would appear there are indeed a few foolish people buying his hats. I guess you can't blame him for his absurd prices if people are dumb enough to buy at those prices. fedoralover- fedoralover

And here is another one. With all due respect to the seller, as he does have nice hats, but does he really get the price he asks??? They are outrageous to me, but then again I guess a guy has a right to ask whatever he wants. I just hope nobody is foolish enough to pay that much...- fedoralover
