    B&W Movie Fedoras

    Funny. My wife and I watched the same movie--Laura--and I thought the same thing. A great movie with some wonderful--distracting--lids.

    Completely unrelated to previous VS threads...just wanted to say I enjoyed a serendipitous, unexpected conversation with Art today. I called intending to leave a message asking about placing a Montecristi order when Art, the ObiWan of hatters answered the phone. A wonderful conversation with a...

    Tesi straw Hats...

    I realize this is an old thread but am also interested in the Bencraft Tesi Montecristi. Is it really Montecristi? The price looks great as does the hat. I followed the thread its entirety but am unsure if the Montecristi question was addressed. Welcome any updates or a redirection if I missed...

    Borsalino: liner or not

    Thank you all very much; I am assuming my hat is "crushable" although I have never tested it. It cost me too much when I first purchased it. All the best, Joe

    Borsalino: liner or not

    greetings. You all have been most helpful in my hat obsession. The various posts on Borsalino dating and materials are both interesting and intriguing. Indeed, the hat pictured was my first foray into better quality hats and various loungers have helped me better identify it. I have a few more...

    What is this hat?

    Many thanks for these links; quite interesting and I learned a lot. I never knew that a special hare produced the most desirable velour. As your post indicates, the quality of the German and Austrian product was superior. I have looked at many and even own a "modern" velour hat; these pale in...

    What is this hat?

    Thank you very much; am still interested in what velour is and how it is made. Is velour only made from hare or rabbit, or beaver--or wool?

    What is this hat?

    Thanks. As background, the original sweatband was brown leather. Not sure if that helps at all. The velour is amazing, btw.

    What is this hat?

    Greetings. I received my grandfather's black vintage velour hat a few years back. I sent it to JJ Hats in NYC for re-blocking and cleaning; JJ did a beautiful job. I am sure I share with many of you not only the pleasure of owning a fine vintage hat, but perhaps more importantly, the joy of...

    Hats in the news

    This is an excellent hat store. I have a Borsalino como and a Doria white linen driving cap from JJ. They also reblocked a vintage velour Fedora and several other hats I own. They are a class group of guys who are patient and professional.

    Happy Thanksgiving to All. Just finished walking my dog through beautiful Forsyth Park here in sunny and warm Savannah while wearing my new favorite hat--a custom made beaver felt from our fellow FL member Bond (Scott). It is a perfect hat for all weather and so very well made. My thanks to...
