Welcome Brother.
Hey Georgia Guys,
Are there any decent hat shops in the north part of Georgia?
I am trying to figure out f I am a 59cm or 60cm and would like to try on some hats.
Thanks,
Thanks I'll check out Sacketts as I will be in Jasper next week.
Not so much interested in the Cowboy hat style.
Glad to know Dave is still there & working. He had a nice hat shop on the Roswell square before his health made him shut down. He has lots of stories about LBJ & his hats. He used to carry a good many Open Road styles by Beaver Brand & I was interested in what he was stocking now that they shutdown.Stopped at Sacketts today in Jasper. I met a kind 86 year old gentleman named Dave who was an official Hat Maker. I think he is part owner. We had a great chat. They had a total of four fur felt hats, all 7-5/8, too big for me.
The rest were either cowboy or wool.
Dave did say that they received a new catalog from Stetson and is expecting to place or get a stocking order from them. Dave said they could custom fit me once we gt close with a standard sze. With good felt and their equipment, Dave said it would be easy.
Only problem is he doesn't know if they will get any product. I'm going to stay in touch and will post the resuts here. Dave is a really nice guy and I would like to do business with him.
Hey all, finally introducing myself. I've been lurking for a bit; now that I have a couple of hats, I might as well make my presence in the forum official. I'm from the Boston area, and I'm bald. So I wear hats for about 8 month"s of the year. I just recently got into wearing fedoras because I found knit caps just didn't look professional enough; I now have 2 new Stetson fedoras and am looking to expand into some vintage hats. I only started wearing fedoras a few weeks ago and am already starting to get all sorts of compliments, including a co-workers and local vendors labeling me as the "hat guy." It's good to be part of the crowd.
Hate to break it to you, but I was at the early bird sale at Salmagundi. The place was packed, so I wouldn't expect a reschedule.Welcome in! You're definitely off in the right direction. Here in our fair city we have a couple of resources. I'm hoping they will reschedule the "Early Bird" sale of YESTERDAY, (remember the snow?) but either way, Salmagundi on Centre St. in Jamaica Plain is great to visit.
Again, welcome DRCube.
