    Now Presenting: A Remarkably Strange Stetson Whippet

    Huh... wha? Carter, the Continental and the Whippet are two different hats, even in this thread. I simply showed my Continental because it had that same purple lining Matt was showing off in his unusual Whippet. Anj

    Now Presenting: A Remarkably Strange Stetson Whippet

    Continental Matt, Nice hat, and a great gift! I have the same liner in my Royal Deluxe, which I have also thought was from the late '50s. The model on mine is "The Continental". The crown on it is quite tall- about 4 3/4 as bashed. The brim is only 2 1/8, but I suspect it may have been...

    Johnnyphi Hat Club

    Lee Fifth Avenue I've been remiss in posting pics of my little JohnnyPhi collection. That was due, in large part, to the fact that each hat I bought from the collection needed some work. That was the case not because the hats were described inaccurately or lacking in any way, but because of...

    Requesting assistance in the details of my first Art Fawcett

    The Ribbon Thanks, guys. I don't really know what the ribbon is, to be honest. It's a magical li'l piece of Art's fantastic ribbon vault. I don't see color very well, but it's just a little darker than the felt. Also, when you see the ribbon from different angles, the color value shifts, so...

    Requesting assistance in the details of my first Art Fawcett

    Yay! Good for you on pulling the trigger, DJ. It's a really exciting process. Don't know if it will help, but I figured it couldn't hurt to share a photo of my Art creation. It's not a litefelt, but it is in Sahara, which was one of the colors you're considering. I went with a 2 1/2 brim...

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

    I got the Royal Deluxe today. Lovely hat- light, supple felt, beautiful light tan sweat, and perfect condition. Oh, and... a 1 3/4 inch brim, despite the seller's assurance that it was 2 inches. Sigh. It's still plenty nice enough to keep, but damn... the bay is frustrating sometimes! Anj

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

    I popped for the pricier one. I'm not sure the Sovereign isn't a 1 3/4 brim, and I like the color on the Royal Deluxe. I hope it's as nice as my other Royal Deluxe from that era. I'll have to purge a few to make room! Anj

    Cleaning a sweatband

    I know Lexol will occasionally react badly with a old sweat, but it works wonders on far more than it ruins. If the sweat is in pretty good shape, and you just want to clean and moisten it a bit, I think Lexol is a great choice. I use it all the time. I've probably used Lexol on 20-30...

    Fedoras at the inaguration

    I wasn't sure where to post, but this seems like a good place. Both Ted Kennedy and Muhammad Ali are sporting black fedoras. Just saw a gentleman I didn't recognize wearing a red fedora, with matching red scarf. Pretty sharp! Anj

    Two hats on one CNN panel!

    Hat Counting I'm really impressed by the number of fedoras I'm seeing in the inaugural crowd. Many folks I didn't recognize, but I did see that Ted Kennedy and Muhammad Ali were both sporting modern black fedoras. Ted's brim was up all around, while The Champ wore his down all around. Anj

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Cavanagh Measurements Thanks all for the kind words on the Cavanagh. The crown, as I bashed it, is just under 5 inches at the highest point. The brim is 2 1/4. The ribbon is 2 inches tall. It is a really amazing hat. The felt is fairly heavy, but very soft and supple. The sweat band is...
