    Boater faction!

    You are correct, thanks for pointing that out The boater offered by Bencraft appears identical to the hat I purchased from another retailer a couple years ago. At that time I did not know of Bencraft. Now that I am informed we'll advise Mr Kabuto to shop with Bencraft! It appears to me that...

    Boater faction!

    I have a very similar boater The hat I bought came from Miller Hats but it looks the same as your photo (to me). Mine is Italian made. I'm happy with it. These don't seem to be available in LO sizes but I'll have to say that the 7-1/8 which I have is more LO that I need. I don't know if that...

    Stetson Medalist Melan for Sale

    I really like this hat but... My problem is the inverse of Mr Jazzncocktails, I think it is too big for me. I'm a 7-1/8. Your excellent tape photo clearly shows right about 57cm but then your try-on makes me think it's between 7-/14 and 7-3/8, to large for me. Rats.

    How to travel with hats

    Good advice Good advice from the man with the beautiful Optimo straw homburg. Both my hat cans came from the dealer that Mr Carlisle Blues has pointed out for us. I bought there based on price, but have found that both service and price are good reasons to trade with these folks. I don't...

    Another transgender hat...

    Amazing Apparently "Big" Al does not subscribe to the notion that "you cannot make a silk purse from a sow's ear."

    Boater faction!

    I'd love to hear more about the riband Mr Huang, Sometime I'd love to see more about how you are making the "ribands" (ribbons to those of us in the American colonies) which are removable. I'd like to have a go at that myself. I really like the idea of the riband matching or picking up the...

    Poor's man hat block... video

    Very nice Thanks for taking time to video and then post this for us to see. If I attempted to carve something like the crease you chiseled out, mine would end up looking as if I had done it with a shotgun.

    How to travel with hats

    Traveling without a hat can Last year I took a Panama with me from North Carolina to the Bahamas. I carried it the whole way which was almost sucessful but really a pain. On the return trip from Lauderdale to Charlotte, NC we had a three seat isle with the center seat empty, I'm thinking easy...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Mr Bob, don't let them get to you. As you are puffing on that stogie just pretend that you are sitting on that yellow and blue painted picnic table at the Jib Room, Marsh Harbour, siping on one of those red slushy Blige Water things. Better yet, the Green Turtle Inn, Green Turtle. Actually...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    JP, it's good that you found Tybee Island Happy to see that you found Tybee Island. Although it's losing it at a mile a minute there is some left of what used to be. When you get back to Savannah take a look-see at Pinkie Masters hole in the wall beer joint near the DeSoto hotel. It'll be the...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Sorry Mojave Jack Sorry Mr Jack, I missed the Ruark book question. For sure you might like the book Use Enough Gun. I would also suggest The Old Man and the Boy (Ruark and his Grandfather growing up in rural eastern North Carolina). I'd say that any father who has a son, and for that matter a...
