    Would you like the fedora and related hats to become main stream fashion

    I agree with Art's 2006 response. His observations regarding a plethora of low end hats and rising ebay prices (look at today's prices vs 2006 and they have continued to rise) are true, but [as noted] the advantages of having more craftsmen making better hats more than outweigh the...

    Can we get some love for wool fedoras?

    I wouldn't go so far as love. In winter, by a cozy fire, dog by my side, whiskey in a jar, when it's dry, ...NOPE, I just can't do it. :eek: :eusa_doh: :o They're OK in a pinch when nothing else, absolutely nothing else, is available. [huh] BUT....I'll take a beater fur felt every time...

    overwhelmed, Help! recommendations please

    Hello Faramir66103, Welcome. If you are in a hurry, go to HatsDirect.com and look at their Akubra offerings. There are a variety of crown heights and brim widths available. With the US $ being strong against the Australian $ currently, it's a great time to order an Akubra (or two). If you have...

    Fedora for my face shape (pics)

    I agree with Marty regarding color and contrast. Also, your beard color and the color of the hat are very nearly the same in the photo. Try some contrasting colors and a higher stance with the hat. You may like what you see.

    What are you wearing today??

    How's the weather in your neck of the woods? Dinerman, I believe those are your battledress trousers from OZ. Please tell us about the shirt.

    What are you wearing today??

    The look of the common man. I like the practical vintage look. It looks like you're wearing the clothes rather than the clothes wearing you. You might actually be arriving from or leaving for work. All you need is a lunch pail. I don't think your cap is too big but it does look a bit flat...

    Stetson fedora repair BEFORE and AFTER story

    Paying good money for a vintage hat is fine but resurrecting a hobo-hat is something special indeed. It takes a good eye to spot a diamond in the rough and a good man to be willing to rescue a classic. Look at it this way, no hat will always be perfect if worn by it's owner. What it will have is...

    Vintage Lust

    Nope. It was a fully automatic Thompson that has been rendered non-firing. Ergo, a solid (nonworking) bolt and receiver.

    Vintage Lust

    I love it! An addition to the lexicon of terms used for changing a habitation. I've been remuddling my house for years. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap DeaconKC, Jackson Armory in Dallas has a Thompson with a solid bolt and receiver for sale. $850.00.

    NEWS BOY CAPS

    A very nice cap! ukali1066, The cap arrived today. It's in my top three for certain. Many caps don't have enough material to really sit down on your head. This one does. It's also got plenty of material so you can shape it front, back, or to one side or the other. I was able to shape it...

    Stetson fedora repair BEFORE and AFTER story

    Looks terrific. The old felts are well worth refurbishing. It's good to know the gentleman at Conley Hats enjoys working on them. You might want to post his contact information and/or phone number for others in the Pacific Northwest who could use his services. It's always good to support...
