    Better quality vintage hats?

    I've noticed that people usually put Adam at or near the bottom of the vintage list, but I have a couple that I think are remarkable. Anj

    What IS the best modern production fedora?

    I have visited Optimo, and Graham had some really stunning hats in some of the best felt I have ever... well, felt. The only downsides are that you need to go there to get fitted (he did not seem interested in working any other way), and the price... $500. The hats may well be worth that...

    Crown Height

    As the ever-wise J.T. pointed out here, a dunk in water will help soften an Akubra so it will better fit your long oval head. It worked very well for me... I dunked my Campdraft and then stretched it a bit lengthwise as it dried. Anj

    Please help identify my Stetson

    That's kinda what I was thinking... it doesn't seem old enough to look that good! I'm far from an expert, but it has a classic Stetson Playboy kind of vibe. Anj

    NEW BROWN STETSON SOVEREIGN- 7 5/8

    I think it would be wearable for a 7 1/2, but you would feel it as sitting on your head a little loosely. You can shrink the sweat by wetting and leaving over a lamp or something similar. I think it's not ideal for a 7 1/2, but certainly do-able. Best, Anj

    My new hats

    Marcus, Good work. In my opinion, if the adjustments you made to hats you own make you happy, more power to ya (to quote Briscoe Darling). I also think you look good in them. And, speaking of homburgs, I have decided that this Cavanagh homburg doesn't work for me. As a result, I will...

    Stretching a hat - advice please....

    I used my badsaw to trim off the sides a little on one of those modern, cheapie hat jacks. It works pretty well as a long oval stretcher. If you're stretching very much, it really does help to dunk the hat in water first. Never had a vintage stretcher, so I can't compare that to the modern...

    Spotted a PorkPie on Alton Brown!!

    We love Alton in my family, too. I sometimes feel like he stole the job I was meant to have, as I'm a foodie and kind of a science/gadget geek. He wears hats pretty frequently. Most notably, in my mind, when he went to Philly to score some pretzels. I belieze that was a fedora, with the...

    CAVANAGH HOMBURG Won

    Nice hat! But I'm a bit confused. I thought Homburgs had center dents. I would have called an open-crown hat like that a derby Thanks. I could be wrong, but I assumed this was an open-crowned homburg because of the height of the crown. It just looks too tall to be a derby, to my eye...

    CAVANAGH HOMBURG Won

    There were several 7 5/8 lids on the bay recently, and I couldn't resist this one. I didn't really think I'd win it for what I bid, but that's how it worked out. I don't own any homburgs now, as my wife tends to think I look silly in them. But, the open crown and the dark blue color won...

    FS: Art Fawcett "Bogie" Style Fedora

    I would echo fedoralover... it's a beauty, and you should really think twice before selling. If you're sure, I might be interested, but I can't PM you. You can reach me at andejparks at gmail dotcom Best, Anj
