I'm certainly not an expert when it comes to vintage hats. I know what I like and I try to educate myself. Having said that, is there something about this hat that would entice someone to pay $1000.00? If so I am missing something.

Come on Scott. Who wouldn't want a rare, stained, crumpled, wool, Indiana Jones "top hat" with a cheap cloth sweatband?

Don't forget it's a 'STENSON' which makes it extra rare.

On a similar note ( Let me know if it already exists ) I was thinking of starting a thread for everyone to post there odd, extremely priced, and ugly hat finds. I know when I'm browsing I come across a lot of interesting gems, like these super cool steampunk numbers.

Yep , you're right. A Stenson Top Hat is pretty rare.

No, no Predestination here. I’m more of a Contrarian Ludite-atic.

I was referring to original sin/ total depravity .... the most empirically proven doctrine of the Bible.
I sure need a Savior!

Just curious, what happened to @splintercellsz? I don't visit here as often as I once did, but I sure miss his posts of his fine hats and his period clothing. I hope he's doing okay.

I'm around, just busy with life and other things. I mainly post on Facebook but it's fun to pop in here once in awhile

Some people with pitchforks are probably still looking for me there.

Hi everyone. I have acquired a few hats now, as well as a couple of cowboy hats that I am going to attempt to convert and some that need some work. I'm having trouble finding compiled info on hat care, cleaning, supplies, and tutorials on steaming and re-shaping etc. without scouring through a lot of different threads. Looking to get a decent hat brush and some other tools as well.

Can anybody lead me to information or threads on this stuff?

I saw this picture on-line and have done many searches but can't find anything like it. I thought that a group of experts might be able to point me in the right direction to find a hat like this. Can someone let me know what type of hat is it? It's not quite a cowboy hat and not quite a bolero. The leather hat band is awesome too. It's a beautiful look in my opinion.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The top of the hat is cut off in the photo. Hard to even make a guess without seeing the whole hat.
