I bought a hat from Casey after his sale announcement. The total price came to less than $250 for a simply beautiful super Fino Havana. We had a long conversation, mostly about things other than hats. He's a really interesting dude, one I would like to know better. Anyway, if I saw the hat he...
Another thing about Trudi from the Hattery. I told her that she had a lot of fans in the online hat world, she said she was really surprised and had no idea that she was known by anyone on any hat sites. I found this to be quite charming. Go figure. A salesperson in a quaint little shop in a...
I was in that store in Melbourne just last week and I left after 5 minutes. It's a real tourist trap, the hats are in awful condition, they looked like they may have been rejects from the Akubra factory. The staff knows nothing about hats. Later in the same week I was in the Hattery in Katoomba...
Question about Western or "cowboy" style hats. Why are they made so stiff, as opposed to many fedoras I have handled? If this was previously discussed, I apologize.

1. How many pelts does it take to produce a fedora hat body?
2. Are the beavers farmed, and where are they from?
3. What do the X designations on hats refer to?
4. In modern-day hat production, including from custom makers, are there...
So today I was walking down Lexington Avenue in the rain towards my office(after a 1 and a half hour trip from Brooklyn, about 15 miles) and a nattily dressed gent said to me, "that's a great looking hat", referring to my BGG campdraft. I thanked him, and he pointed to his baseball cap and...
I would think so too, Bob, if I heard a story like the one I described, but it didn't have that vibe, if you get my meaning. It just felt like an odd thing to say to a total stranger, but then again, it's New York.
