French Hats and makers.
Alongé for the US market? A few days ago I took some pictures of my Alongé porkpie, and was surprised to find these US tags as well. I bought this from a US seller on eBay some time ago, so this hat has made a few Atlantic crossings! Or can the printing on the sweatband in English (Blended... -
Ask a question, get an answer
Thanks, then I can start with the ribbon :) I found this at about.com : How to Clean Mold From Leather, but I am concerned about the gold print on the sweatband. Maybe I just have to try it out very carefully. -
Ask a question, get an answer
Cleaning sweatband Have tried to search the forum, but can't seem to find anything about cleaning sweatbands? I have a hat with a beautiful sweatband, good quality leather and beautiful printing, but it is stained and has some molding. I don't want to replace it, but how do I remove the... -
Dave Brown Hats
Dear Art, I am sorry to hear that Mr. Brown apparently have taken credit for your work, of which I myself own a beautiful example. To me it seems so ridiculous to do such a thing, both for him personally and for his business, that I tend to look for some explanation. This article is written... -

Dave Brown Hats
Tough treatment Gentlemen, I don't know any thing about Dave Brown Hats, but it seems to me that a few people here who also really do not know much about the man or his hats have very strong opinions about his enterprise. I can't see that anybody has presented any good reason for doubting his... -

How do you keep your ears warm?
I find them to work very well for me. One could think that the buckle would be unpleasant, but that is not my experience. The big advantage of the Hat Flap is that it also cover your neck, great in chilly winds. -

VINTAGE CAPS PHOTO GALLERY
Capmaker in London No cap here, but I believe this will be of interest: A couple of weeks ago I spent a few days in London. In my search for vintage headgear (with little success ) I also visited the markets in East End. In Fournier Street, between Spitafields Market and Brick Lane, I... -

Homburg Nation
"HIS MAJESTY EDWARD VII. AT HOMBURG." Got this postcard off eBay a few weeks ago. Issued in "The Star Series" by G. D. & D., London, but "Printed in Bavaria". His Majesty really appreciated a tall crown on his hat! -
Willem Barents' 400 year old hat
The recent issue of the journal of the Norwegian National Library, NB21, has an article about the Svalbard museum, and one of the items from the museum pictured in this article is Willem Barents 400 year old felt hat! Willem Barents was the Dutch explorer who discovered Svalbard in 1597. He... -
Amanda @ Aero
Amanda is amazing One may wonder how many jackets Aero sells just because people love to comunicate with Amanda :) Seriously, she must mean a lot for the company revenue. To show Amanda how much she is appreciated, why not just email her the URL to this thread? Which I will be doing.- AEH

IT'S HERE!!!
Lining? Great looking, well fitting, Libby. I am about to order a Highwayman myself, I got my first Aero a couple of months ago (50's halfbelt), and I believe that I may have become addicted :) Can I ask what kind of lining you chose for your jacket?- AEH

Breaking in an FQHH jacket
I'll tell The Happy Jumper that his work is appreciated :) This is "Vintage Brown", I don't have my Aero leather samples available, but I think the Vintage Brown is a bit darker (and less red ?) than "Brown". I like it very much. The added lenght was Amandas suggestion, and i find it wise to...- AEH

Breaking in an FQHH jacket
Mr Johnson, I started this thread to tell a little story of how I solved what I consider a problem to me, in a way that could be useful to others, and with a funny twist. I am Norwegian, and my English is not too good, and I do not always understand the subtleness and "undertones" of your...- AEH

Breaking in an FQHH jacket
It's a 1950's Halfbelt with 2" added length to body and arms, breast pocket on the right side (I am lefthanded), 2 inside pockets, and a sloping front, 1930's style. I like to have the inside pockets, but I can see that over time they will be very visible on the jacket front, because of the...- AEH

Breaking in an FQHH jacket
Jacket in dryer Actually I was thinking about that myself, but I was afraid that it would be too tough on the jacket. My idea was to put it in the dryer inside a duvet cover for protection, and with a few of my sons' smaller practicing footballs for effect. The jacket is still a bit stiff...- AEH
