Is it possible for an iron to be to hat and able to damage a felt hat? I want to iron the brim of my Akubra but am afraid of damaging it.

Put a thin cloth like a handkerchief between iron & felt. Iron can scorch the felt.

Agreed, and a 100% cotton hanky is recommended. My personal preference is Egyptian cotton, but no matter...

You can also find a "press cloth"at any fabric store.

Hello there, I saw a Slouch hay today, has no visible brand just a label that says "QUALITY HEADWEAR" with ICH DIEN on a banner.

Any idea of the maker?

Thanks a lot for your help !!

I was really admiring the Boss Raw Edge reissue. But then these pics came out....The fake dirt doesn't look nearly as awkward as it does on the silverbelly. I think this is like the "checkmate" of black hats.

That's a cool hat. I'd wear it.

If you are a 7 1/8, buy the awesome vintage Stetson Alan has in the classifieds.

Your comment got me looking for the listing since that's my size.

Really nice hat, but not a look I could pull off, and waaaaaay too much of an investment for me.

Even not being my size, if I had the money, I would get it just to have the pleasure to handle it and wear it in-house so the wind wouldn't blow it away!

Yah, but my tax return is burning a hole in my pocket!

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Since my paycheck is too low, I do not have tax return.

Get it!

You'll mess around and spend the money on food or booze or going to the movies and won't have anything to show for it later.

Ha! Yes, thats so true. I was spending over 100 bucks a month on cigars and I didn't "have anything to show for it later..."

Well, I can't refuse the governator.

I had a bit of a "hat nest egg," set aside, so between that, the tax return, finding a cheaper price, and a coupon code, I had to!

Plus, as I told Charlie in a PM, I have the benefit of living in SF, where nothing is really ever "too weird."

So did you got one or not?
