    Breaking Bad, Porkpie

    i think i saw a shot of the innards of the hat and it was an Adams, I wouldn't mind watching the whole series over again just to find out. i got a Malory fur porkie and had Optima fit it for me. works better for me than wool up here in Michigan.

    Checked out some hats today

    i feel i my be stating the obvious but still ill say it , ebay has plenty porkies at reasonable prices , it just takes time to find one your size. I got impatient myself and got a nice Mallory that was to small and had Optimo resize it for me. Looking back i prolly could have gotten a better...

    i know some are against even a cotton, rayon mix if the rayon is the newer stuff (synthetic, not made with wood fiber) because it dose not conform well. That said there's nothing to keep you from forming your own opinion by trying to make some ribbons for a hat or 2 if nothing else it would give...

    So, I got me this Fez see.....

    I need a fez: - i love hats with flat tops. -its the ultimate in stingy brims. -its the only hat i would feel right wearing inside my house. -the perfect excuse for getting a smoking jacket. and anyway who needs reasons for needing a fez for cryin' out loud it's a FEZ nuff said.

    3 D teardrop, a little help please.

    Hutch i am hardly qualified to pass out advice but if i may say so it looks like you have a the same sort of problem i had to start with, ie. the crown looks to be to low especially the back. what dose it measure ? the thing is when i got my hat creased so the the "inner teardrop" dose not rise...

    Remove the shine from a fur felt hat?

    I have spent hours brushing my longhair Knox to shine and it finely is shining nicely now. I am betting if you just give you hat a good shake or rub it the wrong way with your hands the shine will almost completely go away with no harm to the hat. its hard to capture the shine on camera this...

    How often do you wear a hat?

    I dont leave the house with out a hat, but the only time i wear them in the house is when im working on it or stretching it. for some reason the only hats i could picture myself wearing inside my own home would be a smoking hat a night cap or perhaps a fez.

    thanks Lefty; i keep on learning here. from what i have gathered on the stetson "x" thread there are also many different grades of beaver fur (5 if i remember right) meaning of coarse that even a hat clearly marked all beaver fur felt doesn't necessarily make it a grand hat, so perhaps the best...

    how would i be able to tell if a vintage hat has any or all beaver fur? this 1951 Knox Fifteen longhair for instance. or any hat that dose not state on it that its beaver?
