Hatco may have some but I'll have to stick with the tried and true Irish flat cap straight from the source, Hanna hats Donegal, Ireland.
Welcome to the Lounge.Greeting from another new hat fan. Name is Kane from the Los Angeles area. I made an intro post in the Observation Bar, but thought I’d say hi here as well as this is where my main interest lies. I’ve been wearing hats for a long time for work, but have recently evolved into wearing nicer hats for the pleasure and style of it. My first hat other than a ball cap was a Stetson straw western that I bought many years ago replace the cheap straws that would break down after a few weeks of working outside. This hat is still with me and does double duty with my beloved Brazilian tarp hat (what I call the anti-Tilley) for working outside. Recently I have acquired a few fedoras — first a Stetson, and more recently a Barbisio. I have always wanted to wear hats like this but in my younger years I sort of lacked the self-confidence, but now I feel pretty good donning my fedora. I have collected tobacco pipes, typewriters, fountain pens, and saxophones, and I can see how one can deveplop a love for many hats. We wear many hats figuratively, so why not literally as well.
Cheers!

I can't afford to keep up with the Jones' here. A man needs to know his limitations.Welcome to the Fray. You will find a fine bunch of enablers here for your new addiction.
I am still stumbling around trying to at least acquaint myself with a semblance of some.I can't afford to keep up with the Jones' here. A man needs to know his limitations.

Welcome !! I leave my paper label in it but some take it out. As far as taking care of your hat just keep it clean and brushed. Stetson's will take a good beating. They look better to me with a little age. Gives it character.Good morning. New to the forum. Just purchased my first Stetson Stratoliner and thought I should find a forum to learn how to take care of it. Lots of info here!
Just a quick question, should I remove the “sticker” label inside the hat with the barcodes, hat info, etc., or leave it there?
Thank you...
I forgot to add you really don't need to buy a hat brush per se. Any soft bristled brush will do. It will keep the dust off and the fur looking good.Thank you for the reply! I think I’ll just leave it in and fold it under the sweatband.
Welcome!! Don't hold off. You can never have enough hats.I managed to hold off about 45 minutes! Now it's a 45 day wait for a cap to arrive!

Leave it in. You never know when you'll forget which hat it is or what size you wear.Good morning. New to the forum. Just purchased my first Stetson Stratoliner and thought I should find a forum to learn how to take care of it. Lots of info here!
