    Thank you, Esther, but it's all in the camera angles.

    I can't answer the question about the curl, but I did notice the smell when I steamed the hat. It's not unpleasant, but it doesn't smell like hemp!

    Bob, I just used steam and it temporarily softened where the steam was applied, which allowed me to hand shape it. I had to work some areas repeatedly to get the shape I wanted. Cindy, I gave them my exact measurements based on the circumference of my best-fitting hats, and requested a long...

    Thank you, Charles! Could I wear it in Vermont and get away with it?

    That's what I was thinking, too.

    Thanks, guys. Part of the pleasure for me, aside from getting to wear another nice hat, is being able to tweak it to my liking.

    After two days of shenanigans with FedEx, I have my PB hat. I ordered an Open Road style hat, or what Peters Brothers refers to as the Shady Oaks, after the famous felt hats they made and that were named by Amon Carter. I asked for a 2 7/8" brim width. Out of the box the crown was too tall for...

    Same place, Frank, thirteen years earlier. We lived out off of Dairy-Ashford and I bussed in.

    I went to high school at Lee, about a mile an a half from there. I remember Stelzig's, too.

    The hat store-Houston Texas

    I stopped in at The Hat Store in Houston today to see if they could put a long oval in my Stetson 100. I had the pleasure of having the hat worked on by the owner, Gary Cohen, a third generation hatter. First, let me say that Gary is one of the nicest people you will ever meet, and he gave the...

    Before I had a chance to call Peters Bros. I got a text message this morning from FedEx that the hat will be delivered tomorrow. As I predicted, it will be waiting for me when I get home from TX tomorrow night. By the way Anthony, yours looks great. Looking forward to mine.

    I'll call them tomorrow and see what's up. I trust them to come through sooner or later. It's not quite straw weather in Northern CA yet anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Did any of you get advance notice, or did they just show up?

    Well, I'm in Texas right now but too far from Ft. Worth to drop by, so I'll give it a day or two to see if anything happens. I'm too busy eating my way across southeast TX in my Stetson 100 right now to worry about it. ;)

    Nothing yet. I'm going to be in Texas next week but not close enough to Ft. Worth to check on it. I could use that hat while I'm there. With my luck, it will be waiting for me when I get back home at the end of the week.
