My New Homemade Hat Torture Device- Stretcher
Thanks all for the nice comments. I'm delighted that it seems to work. Next up is a Cavanagh I just received, that also just needs a bit of stretching. After that, I'm going to try something that needs more severe help. I wouldn't be opposed to making more of these. As I turned the block... -
My New Homemade Hat Torture Device- Stretcher
I acquired some vintage lids recently that were great, but a little snug. Well, I'm a 7 5/8 long oval, so it's pretty damn hard to find one that fits perfectly. As we all know, the hat jack stretchers are okay, but they can lead to a bad taper in the felt, as they only stretch the sweat band... -
Modern custom vs Vintage
I own one Art creation, and have looked at and held Optimo hats. I also own some very nice vintage lids... a Whippet from 1950, a wonderful Cavanagh, a Brooks Brothers that has amazing felt, a decent Borsalino, and others. In my opinion, the felt on the best of my vintage hats is not quite... -

I think it was Oscar Wilde who said, "The only thing more annoying that someone not using the search function are the hordes who instantly jump on someone who has not used the search function." Seriously, I think you should make an effort to search for what you want here, but the search... -

Sewing in a Liner- Questions
So, you've get a project hat you've been working on... cleaning, a little re-stitching, and so on. Let's say you've removed the liner, either because the old stitching came loose or to clean it. Now, you've got to get it back into the hat, and you don't want to resort to glue. In looking at... -
Making my own hat
This is, at once, the best and the worst thread ever! The best because the results are awesome, and I am truly inspired. The worst because I can see this becoming an obsession in my already-overbooked life! The part of the process that really bewilders me is the flanging. I have seen... -

Fedoras on a budget???
Thanks for the tip. I just bought one of the Navy Blue Beaver brand hats from Duane at the Fedora Store. It's gonna be a little big on me. If I can't work with it, I'll offer it here to an even larger-headed gentleman. PS- Never mind... Duane just told me the size I needed is out of... -

Douglas, Do you not trust your favorite haberdasher to loosen that Strat up for you a bit? I know it's a little risky, but an expert should be able to buy you some breathing room. Anj -

Newbie: Lucky or Sucker, you decide...
In my opinion, auction is the best way to go for all concerned. Ebay may offer the easiest way to accomplish that, and I would have no problem with going that route. Whatever johnnyphi decides, let's all be cool with it, and let's get it going! But, take that with a grain of salt...
