What makes a hat expensive?
Vicuna fibers are even finer than cashmere, and it makes exceptionally soft and silky fabrics. As cashmere is to wool, vicuna is to cashmere. I have no idea if it makes good felt. I might guess they added a little vicuna to more conventional felts as much to make them "extra deluxe" as anything... -
Stetson Carson Silverbelly questions
Silverbelly, as a color varies widely. It is also hard to photograph accurately, and the color seems to vary between photos of the same hat depending on the light. I have an Stetson Open Road that is a very pale, light grey. You would never call it white, but it is light. This photo is a pretty... -
The Cap Faction
A new Sterkowski motorcycle cap arrived today. It is very nicely made of good materials. It will be warm as it has a little padding in the crown to help it hold its shape. My purple shirt may not be a good stylistic match for the cap, but I knew you would want to see it on my bean. -

I've always wanted a tie-dye t-shirt cap. You're so unreasonable. -

hate size inconsistencies
What do you do? Hope for the best. And make sure you can return it if it is too far off. I err on the size of too large. I'd rather have a hat be a little loose than a little tight. Fur felt sometimes shrinks a bit over time, and you can always shim it a bit, too. -
hate size inconsistencies
I find the size any given hat is said to be can vary from other hats by plus or minus a size. One size seems to the tolerance in stated sizes. -

Texas hatter, david torres, video
Another good reason to go to Lockhart! The other is barbeque. There are two or three Texas-class (and therefore world-class) barbeque joints in Lockhart. -
How to relax Stratton "campaign" hat's extreme stiffness?
Acetone? You would want to be even more careful with that than you would with alcohol or naptha. -
Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps
I'd have to find someone here who could re-block and do the sweatband. I know of only one place to call - let me see if they can do it. Of course, if it sells in the meantime, don't tell someone else no. -

Could the 7 3/4 be stretched or re-blocked up to 7 7/8? -
