I'm on the West Coast. What are you doing up so late? Aren't you going to chastise him just a little for lifting your idea? Nah, I guess you're too classy for that and it's all shared among the hat brethren!:eusa_clap:eusa_clap
+3 on the Campdraft. Your granddad's hat has very little taper (very straight sides as opposed to getting narrower towards the crown) and that matches the Campdraft very well. I believe you can buy it "open crowned" as well and shape it yourself. It would be a good addition to your hat...
Detroit?:D
Sorry, probably not the answer you were looking for. Okay, he's mad because you copied his idea so he's not weighing in on your thread!
Hey, nice shelves Aureliano!
Yeah, I like the sound of this idea, and I might have a chance to use it on a 7 3/8 I'm expecting in the next week - I'll have to wait and see how it fits on my 7 1/4 head.
Bart, first things first, glad the bird turned out well, and I like the fedora with the casual athletic shirt. A hat and everyday wear sometimes does the job...
Just my size and incredibly tempting! I hope a member scored that one and we'll get to see it. It didn't appear to have the really fancy box included, but I'm a wearer not a collector.
I was reading a post by Zetwal in which he mentions a book:
I thought it might be beneficial to have a thread which lists books and/or other references on the topic of hats. Links to hat resources would probaby work here as well, e.g. rlk had a link for information on OPS in a thread...
Welcome, rue! I imagine you would get a ton of suggestions for a fedora for your husband if you started a thread. Give us a few details like what in general you're looking for, price range, etc. The boys here will be most helpful.
Blackmantis, I second (or third or fourth or whatever) keeping an eye peeled on Ebay. Here's a nice coffee brown lid made by Champ I picked up quite inexpensively. You could maybe start with an Akubra Stylemaster to have a hat now while you keep looking on Ebay.
Joshbru, I was going to ask how you knew the date of the hat so precisely - that ticket was a neat find! Can you enlighten me on what patent you were searching for and where you were searching? Nice hat!
