    Aging felt--Are there real benefits?

    I came across this Borsalino ad dating from 1961. Note the claim about aging the felt for four years. Now there's no actual claim about the advantage to this. However, Adventurebilt uses an in-house technique to 'age' the felt before the hats are made. Steve talks about killing the felt...

    Akubra Value is Soaring Right Now

    ^Currency conversion is done by your credit card company, not the store. So the store should simply charge you correct amount in AUD to your card, then the credit card company will convert it at the current daily rate.

    I have finally found a vintage bowler in a size that fits me - 7 3/4!

    ^Reality is, that's pretty standard. It sounds like they've been fairly cooperative overall. You've probably made the best out of an unpleasant situation, part of the risk/reward of ebay.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    You're far too kind. At that angle, I was probably looking at my neighbor's garage, although behind their house you can just see the loading dock to Lowe's.

    Keeping seasonal traditions????

    A hat should first and foremost be an item of utility. While I am very much in favor of respecting traditional seasonal changes, I think if it's very warm then one can certainly wear a straw. I might not wear it with a seersucker suit (well, I wouldn't after Labor Day), but I would, and have...

    Thanks! I don't have a coconut hat, but this seemed like a good place to start. I'd like to add another straw or two, particularly a Milan.

    I still regret not getting a length of the shepherd's check cloth Will had made up for morning trousers.

    Paul stuart Hats

    I love Paul Stuart stuff, but it's probably not where I'd go to get a hat. Not to say I'd turn one down if it came along, though.

    It's a fuzzy Resistol with moth damage and a braided ribbon, size 7 1/8. Some brushing would probably help it considerably. I'll let it go cheap! ;)
