... those are stills from a Harold Lloyd film, can't remember which one, but early 1920s.
A query for you Stetson experts: Did the St. Regis ever come with an unbound brim? I won this one this morning and wonder if it's a lord's hat or just a homburg sans its binding. [huh]

Does anybody have any info on Creighton hats, where I could do some reading? A google search and FL search turned up nothing of value.
I'm going to be in Chicago later this week, and want to stop by Optimo Hats. Not to buy or commission a hat, but just to check it out. Optimo has two locations, one Southside and the other downtown. I think the Southside location is where Optimo first set up shop, correct? So is that the place to see? Or does it not make any difference?
I saw reference to a thread about the different ways to crease hats, but it either doesn't exist anymore or I somehow don't have permission to view it. Is there another thread or resource for this info?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to clean up a satin liner on my Adventurebilt?
Thanx!!!

just picked up a nice Resistol western on the bay for a song. It had an ugly band on it that when I took off had a nice thin ribbon. Here is my problem. the ugly band was held in place with a Sheplers pin stuck right dead center on the front of the crown. How can I close up the pin hole on the hat?
