Hat Center (UK) quality?
Good for you, Ordinary Guy! I look forward to seeing your pictures. I, too, am thinking of ordering a second hat. I'm curious about their summer hats; specifically the ones made of "Dralon". The hat I have really makes me think of a British trilby style hat. Something like this fellow is... -

Stingy Brim...
My pleasure, Areliano:) I think two things are important to looking good in a stingy. First, make sure the hat has a fuller crown with little taper. Tapered crowns are what contribute to a "pinhead" effect some get with stingies. Second, make sure your other clothes harmonize in proportion... -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Thanks, Daizawaguy. I change the bash each day according to my humor. At the end of the day, I pop them back out to an open crown. The felt that Art uses is realy supple and soft (but then you already know that:)). -

Stingy Brim...
I think the general concensus here is that a hat with a brim less than two inches is a stingy. In the 1930s, hats had narrower brims, 2 1/8" or 2 1/4" seemed to be common brim widths and a 2 1/2" brim was considered "wide". In the 1940s, brims got wider and crowns shrank a bit. In the 1960s... -

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Got a new hat last Saturday! I asked Art for a Whippet-like hat in granite color. I left dimensions and proportions up to his expert judgement. The fit of this hat is spectacular! It's unfortunate that it will be a few months before I can start wearing it:( . Well, actually, it stays fairly... -

"Papier" how is it been used to make hats?
Hi, Bobhat. I think historically, paper has been used to make inexpensive summer hats. In the past these were called "toyo" hats and were very popular in the 1930s. I've never had one, but I would think the paper is first woven into a hat body, then blocked into shape and after laquered to... -
