Best Crushable Hats
Searching "crushable" at The Fedora Store will net you a lot of results, mostly from Country Gentleman or Stetson. I have never owned a Country Gentleman, so I can't vouch for them. I bought a pretty nice Bailey crushable from there last year... the Hartford, I believe. Doesn't look like it's... -
Softening a hard hat
Now with photos! I ended up massaging the hat a bit, then dunking it, then trying it on some, and then leaving it on the stretcher over night. I know... overkill, perhaps. Anyway, I'm pleased so far. It fits my long oval head better, and it's a little bigger overall. Thanks again, J.T... -
Softening a hard hat
Cool... thanks for the link. I'm not sure Akubra Kangaroo is as resiliant as AB's pure beaver, but I may try some massage technique before the bath. Anj -
Softening a hard hat
Thanks for the tips, J.T.. I may screw up my courage and give the dunk a shot. Do I need to be careful about the band shrinking up after the dunk? Should I think about drying it on a stretcher? I know not to over-stretch a wet band. I bought the hat from Everything Australian. The... -
Softening a hard hat
Just got my special-ordered Akubra Campdraft. It is a lovely hat, and the Silverbelly color was worth the three month wait. But, I'm having a few issues. It's not quite as large as I'd hoped (we all know they run big), so I'm fighting getting it to fit my long oval well. The big (and... -

White Smithbuilt
Hey... I'm not a "former lounger"! ;) Glad you like it, Bud. It was a size gamble for me, and it just didn't work out on my giant head. Can't wait to see it on you! Anj -
We are starting to make an impression on that hat industry "Browndale Dress Hat"
Nice! I like it. And, I can also vouch for the folks at Miller... always a pleasure to do business with. Anj -
A Terrible Loss: My Art Fawcett Beauty
Damn! I'm reminded of John Travolta talking about someone keying his car in Pulp Fiction. "I wish I coulda caught him doing it. It woulda almost been worth him doing it if I coulda caught him doing it." Anj -
Need Help! Stylemaster or Federation??
I think I have to agree with fatwoul... I just have a feeling the Stylemaster will suit you better. Best, Anj -
Bailey Madison 7 1/2 Brown
Would you say it's a largish or smallish 7 1/2? I'm between that and a 7 5/8. Thanks, Anj- Ande1964

Adams Fedora
I can't believe people commented like that on the live Adam auction! I am appalled! And, as the current high bidder, I'd like to add that you're all right... the hat is worthless, and none of you should place a bid! ;) Anj -
Adams Fedora
I don't know who won it, but I can tell you I would have been all over it if it had been my size. I have two Adams hats, and they're both really great. Anj -

The Regular Customer, The Usual Order
I've been lucky enough to become good friends with a couple of great bartenders here in my small home town. I do change my drinks sometimes, but more often than not, they see me walk in, give me a big smile, and start pouring my Jack and Diet Coke. Anj- Ande1964

Very nice pin, and it looks great on the hat! I've always wanted an FFA jacket. Anj -
Frank Lloyd Wright Hotel Restoration & Whats wrong with current building practice?
There's a great example of beautiful style that doesn't quite transfer to great practicality in Falling Water. In the main room there's a huge fireplace, accented by a large metal globe, which was meant to be filled with cider or water, and then swung over the fire to be heated. It's...- Ande1964

Requesting info on this hat
Don't know if I've ever seen a brim quite like that. I kinda like it, though. Anj -

Well, I think he was definitely a hard guy to live with. He knew how great he was, and wasn't shy about it. Anj- Ande1964
