    Help with {date or identify} a hat please.....!

    To upcycle or Not? Vintage Stetson Flint in Smoke Grey with box, has some moth nibble marks and subtle age spots. I planned to change the shape and color but would appreciate some input as to whether I should just sell it “as is” or move ahead with redesigning it. Thoughts anyone?

    I suppose I should start a new thread to continue because the top hat was just the beginning.

    Where are the hat obsessed ladies?

    I’ve been a member here for almost a year, introduced by a member to whom I sold a vintage Stetson. A ““HAT” forum!? Where people talk about hats! I was intrigued. It’s been almost a year, and although I’ve been tempted to post, I’ve held back because I’ve only observed dudes joining the...
