    Hat Bashing and Crown Size

    I have a late 50's-early 60's Stetson Playboy with a 5 1/4" crown and have it in a high diamond crease which works well for my head. This is the shortest crown I have though, with others in the 5 3/4" range. The taller crown you have, the more you can do with it, but it's also about what you...

    Size range for vintages to increase choices?

    If you get a vintage hat and end up not being able to wear it, whether it's too tight and you don't want to stretch, or it's too loose and you don't want to pad it enough to fit, there's always a market here on the FL that you can sell it off and try with another. I'm a size 7 typically, and I...

    Why!!!! Hipsters!!! Why!!!!!

    I'm with you, but we're stuck with consumer news. Fact-checking isn't what it used to be, and editors allow things to go out the door that they never would have 20 years ago because someone else might get the story out first. Small-town news has gone by the wayside, and unfortunately, global...
