    Question: If a seller brushes or steam cleans a hat prior to shipping it, does it need any further cleaning? I ask due to the fact that one of the hats I may be getting probably dates from the 1930s, along with my previously mentioned dust mite allergy.

    Were your parents/grandparents/etc hat wearers? Were/are there any other hat wearers in your family? If so, who? For those whose parents wore hats (I'm talking people whose parents were of the WWII/Korean War generation): Did your parents continue to wear hats after the 1950s/1960s? For...

    Which Presidents Wore Hats>?

    Nixon circa 1948, all from the HUAC era: The young man wearing glasses and testifying in front of Congress is a young Ronald Reagan, in a very rare shot of him wearing glasses. For those who don't know, Reagan was literally almost blind. He could not even see a square in front of him. Hs...

    Which Presidents Wore Hats>?

    Is it possible that that's during the Alger Hiss case (the first photo)? I remember even in the flashback to the Hiss case in the movie Nixon, he is shown wearing a fedora.

    OK...so what is your oldest hat?

    What's the oldest hat you wear? Out of all your hats, what's the oldest hat you actively wear? And how did you determine it's age (that's something I want to learn about hats in general--how to place a date on them...)

    I'd like to add that I'd love to get a hat like LBJ's--It seems to be a cross/compromise between a Fedora and a Cowboy hat. Anyone know what kinda hat it i exactly? I'd definitely wear something like this as is it's Western-ish without being a Cowboy hat per se--It wouldn't utterly stand out in...

    Which Presidents Wore Hats>?

    Does anyone have pictures of a (younger) President Reagan in a fedora? He was of the generation that would've worn hats, at least in their youth.

    Straw hats/Cowboy Hats (Any Felt hat purists?) I hope this isn't going to offend anyone here.... But I've just never been able to get into straw hats, or cowboy hats for that matter. I come from NYC, so maybe that's the reason. It's just they've always seemed somehow...comical...to me. I can't...

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

    Am looking at several hats, all by the same wonderful seller. One widebrimmed Stetson, one black widebrimmed homburg, and a couple of stingies. I figure the stingies would be for more casual wear, the homboug would go well for dress occassions and the Stetson would go well for when I want to...

    This is from a home movie of my great grandpa, from the summer of 1963. This was a graduation. Anyway, my great grandpa is alerted to the presence of a my grandpa, his son in law, holding the family video camera. He didn't like my grandpa.He turns toward the camera and looks at it for several...

    Do you ever try to learn the history of your hat?

    When you buy a used hat--particularly an old one--have you ever made an attempt to trace it's history? Like who first owned it, etc? For me it'd be wild if someone out there has a hat that was belonged to one of my great grandparents or great uncles, or if by some odd fate, one of my family's...
