What are factory seconds?But you must also keep in mind you are buying factory seconds.
Never mind. Looked it up in Wikipedia.

The Strat will have a better hand than the CD, and will likely be less stiff. The Royal Deluxe (Premier) level qualities and a above have very nice sweats, as well. Nicer than Akubras.
But for the money...

Question about terminology: what exactly is meant when referring to a hat's "hand"?
After the crown height reaches a certain height you have to start measuring them like horses...
There is a thread regarding to two Hatco outlets;lots of information.I believe you can call and ask for sales help.An outlet store purchase is probably not something you can do online, right? Have to go to the actual store to pick up?

How it feels and drapes - soft or hard, smooth or fuzzy, etc. Around here, the term is more typically used for things like jacket leather than hat felt.
But..but...Google says...And yet, I've only heard it applied to hats and fabrics, but then I don't venture into the leather jacket threads.

I don't use Tapatalk, but on my laptop threads that are "photo heavy" take a lot longer to load. Also, sometimes a specific image won't load in the morning or afternoon no matter how many times I refresh the page, but will load later in the day with no problem. Or vice versa.Is anyone else that uses Tapatalk having issues viewing pictures? I am especially having trouble getting pictures to load in the WHAYWT thread, but it is occurring in others as well.
I've waited, reloaded and waited some more and it never helps me either. At best there will be a space where the pic should be, only without the pic. Today if folks posted more than one pic, two or three would appear, then two or three more wouldn't, then one or two at the end of the post. It's getting very irritating because I enjoy seeing everyone's hats!I don't use Tapatalk, but on my laptop threads that are "photo heavy" take a lot longer to load.

I want to buy two hat blocks, one for my 7 1/4 hats and one for my 7 3/8s. Just round at the top, so I can crease them myself after using steam to get rid of bumps or wrinkles on the crown of some of my hats. I guess I would have to do this only on the hats that don't have liners or take the liners off, so that the felt wouldn't be wrinkled by the liner, correct?
Would I also have to take the sweats off?
And where can I read about hat blocks, to learn what a #1, or # 5, or whatever blocks sizes are, and what they are used for?
Or best just leave it alone, and take them to my newly discovered hatter in Mexico City?
