    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    They look great but I didn't know Art made them. Perhaps they might be better presented in another thread. No disrespect intended, but this is Arts thread about Arts creations. I have no idea what Mr. King is wearing. fedoralover

    Yipes- Stripes!

    I'm glad you didn't mind me posting a pic of it. I thought it was pretty cool and whenever Mike has time he's going to do one for me. I'm only about 5 minutes from Mikes shop so I stop in frequently just to see what he's working on. fedora

    brim edge binding help please

    If it's a high quality hat, to be honest you'd be better off sending it to a qualified hatter to do it. I've seen them when their not done right and it doesn't look very pretty. If it's just a kick around hat, then go for it. fedoralover

    Yipes- Stripes!

    I think it's going to be something for those of us that have a lot of hats and want to have something a little different in the mix. Not something I would want on all my hats, but nice on at least one. Also a way to jazz up an other wise so so looking hat. Tony, I think a blue over white would...

    Yipes- Stripes!

    It may be too much for some people but I really like it. It took an ordinary looking hat and put some "POP" into it. I have a thin ribbon Stetson that I'm going to have this done to. fedoralover

    Yipes- Stripes!

    I was over at Northwest Hats this morning and Mike was finishing up this hat a customer had brought in. It had a 3 inch brim and he wanted it cut down with an edge binding put on. Mike wanted to try something he hadn't done before. So he did an edge binding with two contrasting colors, one...

    ok gang dumb question time

    I lost 20 pounds and went from a 7 1/4 to a 7 1/8th. So the answer is "Yes" losing body weight will make your hat size decrease. fedoralover

    Post New Hats Here!

    I doubt if it's big enough for most members here though as it only holds 20 hats. I suppose one could double or triple up on each stand though. fedoralover

    Post New Hats Here!

    A few years ago I had high hopes of retiring in Lake Chapala Mexico, but my wife refused to go. I told her I'd sell ALL my hats if she would consider it. She wouldn't go for it, so I figure if I have to stay, my hats are staying too. Although I have sold a few, I limit my buying now only to...

    Semi Reblock Of My Hat

    Here's what a good reblock can do for a federation. I've had this hat for at least 6 or 7 years. It shrunk and tapered really bad not too long after I got it. I sent it to Steve Delk who had just started to get his Indy block to the right specs. I think he made a few modifications after this...

    Semi Reblock Of My Hat

    Yes it was. He did it years ago before he got the Indy contract. The hat has seen a lot of wear and has a hole in the tip of the pinch, but it is my go to hat for out door bad weather wear. But it still has a pretty good shape to it. fedoralover

    Semi Reblock Of My Hat

    I've had 6 Federations and they all shrunk up some even the Deluxe. However when my regular Federation tapered really bad like yours I sent it to a hatter and had him reblock it. I've had it absolutely drenched numerous times since then and it's never tapered or shrunk again. At least with the...
