    DO THEY MAKE VIAGRA FOR LIMP FEDORAS?

    I have a nice vintage Borsalino with a soft, thick nap. Problem is, the felt doesn't really hold the bash too well. The crown seems to sag after a short while. I'm afraid the lid has lost some of its... potency. Should I get some hat stiffener? Anybody have any suggestions? Would a...

    IS THIS IS... OR IS THIS AIN'T... A HOMBURG?

    I wasn’t looking for a homburg. I wanted a navy blue fedora. As you know, they are few and far between. They come along once in a (navy) blue moon. I lost out on a navy vintage Dobbs a few months ago which gave me a bad case of the blues. Sorry.;) Anyway – I ran across this lid a...

    FOR SALE - VINTAGE STETSON PANAMA - smallish 7 3-8

    Anybody interested in this nice vintage lid for summer? I just received it, but it's way, way too small for my big melon. It's marked 7 3-8 but it fits like a 7 1-4. The lid has a 22.5 circumference. Some minor issues: 1. Brim is a bit wavey - but it just needs is to be wetted down, blown...

    I Got The "Brim Too Wide" Blues!

    Opinions needed before I start cutting! The brim on this vintage Borsalino OR clone is 2 3/4" and it just "feels" to wide. I haven't even worn the hat out of the house yet. The felt is lightweight and consequently the brim isn't very stiff - ordinarily a good thing - but on a brim this wide...

    LID ON BACKWARDS?

    Okay - I've decided that I like my brim up in the front and down in the back. I find that I can get a nice swoop effect. Does anybody else "go backwards" or am I alone in my madness? :p
