    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I've had to literally roll the back up (like rolling a sheet of paper) by hand in order to get the back of a western brim to curve upward. That thick, stiff felt can take it.

    Thanks Bart. The felt is some of the nicest I've handled. Actually, outside a western from the American Hat Company, it may be the nicest. It's soft, supple, and holds any crease you put in it. I have another Shudde Bros. at Jimmy Pierce's now. It's a fine felt but I believe this one is better...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Shudde Bros Deluxe Beaver Jimmy Pierce showed me a beat-up, dirty Shudde Bros Deluxe Beaver hat the last time I visited his shop. This is wonderful felt, very soft and supple. I asked JP to clean and reblock it. Here is the result. As you can see, the felt is somewhat mottled. This is...

    The Soda Thread: Coke not Classic; Throwback Pepsi

    There are any number of establishments near our home in Dallas where one can purchase Coca Cola made and bottled in Mexico (hecho en Mexico) in 355ml glass bottles. It is far better than the product produced by the local Coca Cola bottler.

    Lee Fifth Avenue "Gold Label", "Beaver Nap", Fedora

    Paul, The brown is a very nice color. I am pulling your leg. Beaveleon is simply a concoction made of beaver and chameleon. The occasional felt seems to have a chameleon-like quality in different lighting. Ergo, beaveleon felt. :D Although, if there was no beaver content in the felt, it...

    Lee Fifth Avenue "Gold Label", "Beaver Nap", Fedora

    Nice Hat Paul, That is a wonderful fedora. The ribbon treatment is quite nice. I like the loose pinch you have in the crown. I can't tell, is the felt brown or grey? Initially, I thought brown/sable but, in an outdoor picture, it appears to be grey/charcoal. Is that the rare beaveleon...

    Thanks Jim. This clarifies it for me. Maybe just a touch of accent color on the bow? Back to the hatter! ;) :)

    Has the state of your hair influenced your hat wearing?

    The state of my hair does not influence my hat wearing but the state of my hat does influence my haircut.

    Struggling with bashing my new hat - please comment/assist

    Great hat! I think you're uncomfortable with a taller crown because you haven't worn one. This happens to most people the firts time they wear a hat with a tall crown. Once you've worn one and are comfortable with it, a shorter crown just doesn't look as good. At least that is my experience...
