    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Jay Lord Supposed 7 1/2 Jay Lord. Well, I don't know if it's really a 7 1/2. I did ask the seller, and they offered some assurances, but no real measurements. I threw in a pretty low bid, and ended up winning it for a mere $44, shipped. No idea about the Jay Lord brand or the...

    Christy's Fur Felt Foldaway- 7 5/8

    For sale is a like new Christy's fur felt foldaway trilby (fedora), size 7 5/8. This is a very nice hat, the only reasonable option I know of for a truly packable fur felt these days. I got the lightest color they made when I bought this from Hornet Hats last year... don't remember what the...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Wow That looks like a stunner. I did not see it... thank god. EDIT- Never mind... it's a 7 1/4. I thought it was a 7 1/2. That's a little steep for the size. Anj

    Hats on TV show Caprica

    Nice! I agree completely. Hats in mainstream media are a good thing. I don't care if there's a little taper, or the ribbons aren't vintage enough, or even if they're wool! I like it! Still bugs me the way Jon Hamm wears his on Mad Men, though... ;) Anj

    Patch Liners Can anyone tell me how patch liners are attached? It has to be glue of some sort, right? Anj

    Replacing sweatband?

    I agree Wear and enjoy. You could put a little tape on the backside, just to ensure that it doesn't get much worse. I have done that, using that blue masking tape stuff. Anj

    Can one form a standard oval to a long oval?

    Soak Soak it in cool water, and then either put in a stick to hold the long oval shape as it dries or just wear it. Anj

    Too Small?? Too big? Just right? or How to wear a hat!

    It's Personal It's dependent on what you like and how your particular melon is shaped. I wear mine almost touching my right ear, and about a finger above my left. Anj

    James Cagney with hats...

    Great! Awesome... thanks. He was tiny li'l guy, wasn't he? There's a great Orson Welles quote about Cagney... I paraphrase: "The key to acting is TRUTH. That's not the same as being realistic. There isn't a human ever who behaved like Cagney does on film, but you cannot find a single...

    Advice Needed: Stretching a NOS Johnnyphi

    I've done it I have to lightly stretch all three Johnnyhi hats I purchased- more to get them to fit my long oval than anything. I've had good luck, but I have a whole hat stretcher. I dunk that hat in cool water, and then let it dry on my stretcher overnight before wearing it to a final...

    Okay, I Can Take It... Me in a Homburg

    Dents I tried it without dents, and didn't like it as well. I'll try to get a pic taken soon. As for the shades, Wil... I can't do it 'cause they ain't mine! That is a picture of my hero, Truman Capote. Thanks again, Anj

    Okay, I Can Take It... Me in a Homburg

    Hmm... I may give that a try. I was thinking the dents were what was making it work, but I'll check it out. Thanks! Anj

    Homburg Nation

    Barbisio Here I am in the first homburg I ever liked on my own noggin. Makes me think I should have tried some side dents on the others... maybe I'd still own that lovely, dark blue Cavanagh. Anj

    Okay, I Can Take It... Me in a Homburg

    Cool! Thanks for the comments, all. Nice to hear you all think it works pretty well. Here's a shot a little more dressed up. You're right... I would probably wear it out with a jacket, or tie and suspenders, or something. Still self-taken, so you can't get the full-length, but maybe it...

    Okay, I Can Take It... Me in a Homburg

    I have now owned three homburgs. The first two I just didn't think worked for me. Both of those ended up in the capable hands of Tonyb. But, I recently acquired a third from our own Cookie, and I think this one has potential. It's a lovely gray Barbisio, and I think it kinda suits me...

    WHO made Johnny Depps hats for Public Enemies

    Depp's hat is awesome. The proportions on his hat are so perfect. Guesses on the hat's proportions? I was thinking the crown might be close to 5 inches, with a brim of no more than 2 1/4... maybe just 2. Anj
