Post New Hats Here!
Thanks for your response. I've always thought "ladies in fedoras" is a hot look. My wife can really smoke a fedora. And that Baby Blue Diamond Creased brim deserves some attention. I think what might attribute to the difference in sizing between your Bora's and mine could be, yours have a...- Bird Lives

Post New Hats Here!
I've been talking about a new lightweight borsalino with a fabric sweatband and no lining. Wife picked up on it and picked one up at a Dept.Store in Istanbul. She has a rule about not surprising me with a hat...but letting me pick out my own hat surprises...But this one reached out and convinced...- Bird Lives

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
I am not collector of Furfelt fedoras. But I do have a Borsalino short brim blue trilby from the early 60's, an Akubra Fedora from 6 years ago, and a Lock & Co Sandown Trilby from about 8 years ago. So I have held and shaped reasonably quality furfelt before. All my hats have very nice leather...- Bird Lives

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Christmas Hat! I know there's not much love for new Borsalinos out there these days. But it was a gift, and I am surprised at how nice a hat it actually is. Like @Daniele Tanto says, you really can't go by what it says on the inside...you have to hold it and look at it, and even wear it. I like...- Bird Lives

Thank You Daniele...That's a great answer. I'm finding my perspective is changing on this topic. I'm now living on the Mediterranean in Turkey, and while it's lovely here it does get warm enough and for a long enough season...That I have found myself drawn to fabric sweats and Panama hats for a...- Bird Lives

Hi Daniele, What are your thoughts on beauties such as this that have the fabric sweats? Was it to make the hat lighter or a cost saving measure? What criteria do you use use when judging Sweatband materials?- Bird Lives

Ask a question, get an answer
Thanks Tukwila. I tried the warm iron, with steam, and she's wrinkle free. I'll try to include the pics from the website. I've just relocated back to Turkey from your neck of the woods. So I haven't got my new Turkish phone set up to size photos, so no head shots yet. There's also the Websites...- Bird Lives

Hey Guys, I recently ordered a Beige100% cotton Doria Drivers Cap, for the warm Summers here in South Side Türkiye on the Mediterranean, from a high end online clothing shop here. What arrived was a beige 100% cashmere Doria Drivers Cap. It was the right size and looks like a work of Art. But...- Bird Lives

Is it safe to wear my hat in the rain? Is it up quality/waterproofness?
I was just asked about my Lock & CO. Sandown, about how it handles rain... Here are 2 pix of it hiking (Twin Falls WA) in the pouring rain...this was a bonafide 'downpour'....The 3rd pix is the next day, skiing, (Snoqualmie Pass WA). I could not belive how fast it dried and how great it looked...- Bird Lives

Thanks and "I know, Right?" Makes me think twice about ever wearing a great hat on a flight again...But I will....This hat flys great! The 1 7/8" brim works with plane seats and just enought brim to pull hat down to shade eyes for napping!- Bird Lives

Hiking, with Lock & Co. Sandown Trilby...this hat has proven to be practically "bullet-proof" to the elements BUT Last time I went to Vegas the TSA officers accidently knocked it on the ground, but then purposefully kicked it to each other. I yelled "Hey!! Watch it!" One of them grabbed it in...- Bird Lives
