    Post New Hats Here!

    Alan, as you already know and appreciate, that is a beautiful Knox and I really like that Schoble as well. You're off the deep end, but we all love seeing them here! Historyteach - you did well on that wider brim and taller crown!

    Ft. Worth Stock Show hats

    Monbla, if you go to these type of events with any regularity, it would be interesting if you took along a digital camera and posted pics here. Sounds like a fun event.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    At the risk of provoking the Bartender and losing drinking privileges, I think we all need at least one hat we wear with the upbrim! A little variety is a fine thing.

    Johnny J, what a nice find! The hat seems to be in terrific shape! Depending on how much it cost to acquire, I would consider sending it to be professionally cleaned if a good solid brushing isn't doing the trick. Others here do their own naptha bath, but I'd be hesitant on such a quality old...

    Neo, my first thought upon seeing this pic was that you really resemble a very young Waylon Jennings! And in my book that's not so bad...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Ok, so I'm confused again, unless you are in disagreement with JtL's statement: "I tend not to refer to the sweat as being "reeded" where either reed -tape or reed cloth are used. I only use the term to describe a treatment that involves a physical reed." He was referring to the Week-Ender as...

    I've gotta say that's a classy look, rlk. I wonder if it was more difficult to produce with the stitching not all the way through?

    Jimmy, thanks for reposting that link, as well as the illustrative pictures. It took me a while going over them to get what you were saying. Now that you've pointed out the difference, I find it really interesting that the Week-Ender has reed tape or cloth but no reed! I would have never...

    30's~40's Work Boots

    Univibe, contrats on pulling the trigger. I would love a pair and can't really sell the Mrs. on my "need" to have a pair!! Did you consider Wesco boots? Just wondering. I look forward to seeing your photos, and Whacky - your photos as well.

    First Time Hat Buyer Info Thread - A Compendeum of Advice

    Spend enough time here, and low crowns with stingy brims will start to look a bit "anemic." (With no disrespect intended to Daizawaguy, GWD, and other stingy-wearin' brethren!) You will start to get used to taller crowns and wider brims as you wear them.

    You're on it, rlk. I missed the raw brim. Thanks for the correction!

    Nice pic! You wear that style of hat really well, and it looks great on you.

    From your description, I would tell you that most here would say it is not an Open Road if the words Open Road are not printed on either the liner or the sweatband. Did you check under the sweatband? Sometimes you'll see a reorder tag, and this might actually say "Open Road" on it...

    Thin and flimsy

    Alan, you and FMW both mention the weight of the felt. Are these weights standardized? How does one know the weight of the felt? Interesting stuff...
