    My New, Vintage, Homemade Resistol Packable

    A couple of years ago, when I started buying hats with a passion (it's subsided now... mostly), one of my first purchases was a Resistol stingy from the '60s. The sweat band was pretty shot, and it was too small for me. The felt, though, was really nice. It was that soft "Kitten Finish". I...

    Okay, I Can Take It... Me in a Homburg

    I have now owned three homburgs. The first two I just didn't think worked for me. Both of those ended up in the capable hands of Tonyb. But, I recently acquired a third from our own Cookie, and I think this one has potential. It's a lovely gray Barbisio, and I think it kinda suits me...

    Vintage Royal Stetson- 7 1/2 Long Oval

    This hat is going back to the seller. As you can read HERE, I recently received a hat that wasn't what I bought. I have the option of returning, but I thought I'd see if anyone here wants it, first. It is a vintage Royal Stetson, maybe from the '50s. Styled as a homburg kinda thing now...

    Ande1964 and AlanC Meet in Person- Consume Bison!

    Our beloved bartender, AlanC, moved to my neck of the woods recently, so we arranged to meet for lunch yesterday. I chose Ted's Montana Grill (I know... it's a chain, but it's fantastic!) in Leawood, Kansas. Alan was as friendly and gracious in person as he always is here. It was really a...

    Source for Thin Grosgrain?

    I found this lamp shop while searching for grosgrain ribbon with some cotton content. I want some 3/8" ribbon to use on an Open Road rehab I'm working on. Hatsupply doesn't seem to have anything that thin. Does this ribbon look acceptable? The color choices are pretty impressive...

    Two, Two, TWO Pigs in a Poke for the Price of One!

    When I've been locked in the studio for weeks, doing little but staring at the drafting table, I get a little blue, and buying junk online cheers me up. I admit it, I go a little bid-crazy! So, this syndrome led to me putting in a bid on these "Beauties". Don't know how old they...

    My New Homemade Hat Torture Device- Stretcher

    I acquired some vintage lids recently that were great, but a little snug. Well, I'm a 7 5/8 long oval, so it's pretty damn hard to find one that fits perfectly. As we all know, the hat jack stretchers are okay, but they can lead to a bad taper in the felt, as they only stretch the sweat band...

    Sewing in a Liner- Questions

    So, you've get a project hat you've been working on... cleaning, a little re-stitching, and so on. Let's say you've removed the liner, either because the old stitching came loose or to clean it. Now, you've got to get it back into the hat, and you don't want to resort to glue. In looking at...

    Knox Premier Westlite

    I spotted this buy-it-now last week and pulled the trigger, despite not having seen a photo. A vintage hat in my size (7 5/8 long oval) is worth at least that much, unless it's completely trashed, I figured. It showed up today, and it's a beauty. As you can see, it's an OR clone, with a...

    Yay! Happy Valentine's to Me! Two hat arrivals, Resistol and Whippet!

    Got not one but two hat packages in the mail today! The first is a Resistol Western in 7 5/8 long oval, which I bought as a possible conversion project. I actually kinda like it the way it is, but I may convert is eventually. It needs a bath. And, even better (way better!), is my...
