    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Come now Torpedo.....you know you want one! And yes...the search for a decent grey medium brim fedora continues. I do have a charcoal Stetson trilby and a Sovereign Deluxe stingy but something with the dimensions of the brown Mallory I posted yesterday would suit me fine.

    Yes indeed Carebear. And where would our liberal democracy be today without the antics of Entick and the pronouncements of Pratt?

    Today's Lid - Stetson Stowaway crushable

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Stetson Stowaway In my endless search for a grey fedora I spotted and purchased this online. Only when it arrived did I realise that it was a crushable - and what a crushable it is! This has to be the lightest of all my felts and even makes my Borsalino feel like a tank in comparison. Yet they...

    Pulling Off the Casual Look

    I gotta say that for a group of folks who pride ourselves on bucking the fashion trend, some of us worry an awful lot about whether we conform to some other folk's ideas of what's fashionable. Do fedora's work with casual gear? Take a look at the happy hatted folks above. The old 60's...

    Nothing High Pockets....but nothing...can remove that vile taste from your tongue. I blame James L Kraft. I think it's America's way of keeping Aussies in subjugation.

    Naptha is most commonly sold as the product 'Shellite' in Australia.

    I do love those diamond creases of yours Mario. How do you go about the naptha bath? Just dump the whole hat in a bucket full of the stuff? I wonder what are the odds of that 'imported fur' coming from Australia. Many US hatmakers imported rabbit felt from Oz.

    Favourite Cases - Entick v Carrington Following on from the above: Back in 1762 the Government of The United Kingdom was having trouble dealing with annoying things like freedom of speech. A hack writer of dubious credentials named John Entick, an associate of John Wilkes, had been writing...

    Many thanks Scion. It's fast become a favourite of mine. The funny thing is that if it had been correctly described as 'brown' rather than 'gray' I would not even have bid on it. Which would have been my loss.

    Yep Mario - hence my late 40's/early 50's guess. In the aftermath of the takeover Stetson kept the same liner as Mallory used, with the one exception being the change to the establishment date. So, this lid belongs in that aftermath period somewhere.

    Felt hat basics

    Absolutely right! The only hat tougher than a felt is a hard hat - and they don't look so good outside a building site. They were designed to be working hats and they will take any pounding you want to give them. The felt hat's natural enemies are moths and stains - and even most of the...

    No worries Mr P! I won't neglect that Texan lid! The Mallory has a Whippet look about it, don't you think?

    Many thanks RBH. Even with a wide ribbon?! I think those proportions are what suit me best. I've forgiven this hat for being brown. It was a pretty good pick up for around $15.
