nice hats in this thread. looking at a Portis. how is the sizing with these? like stetson where they run larger, or more like some of the other. true to size (dobbs, knox,etc,)?
Hi, I have too many hats. But I love them and won't sell them, lol. But I do need to store them correctly. Is it a myth that they need to be stored on the crowns? If they need to be, then why? I was just going to stack them up, one on top of each other crown up in different piles. Or put them on...
hey, sorry to hijack thread. since the op is not interested, thought i might add. am always looking out for something different from what i have. are there pics of these anywhere?
I think I got the culprit. I believe it is the body of the dead moth that was in the box. Not sure, am going to have to take closer look, I saved it in some tissue paper. I think he was trapped in the box when it became an adult, perhaps. Never happened to me before, in about 9 years of owning...
Thanks Fruno for the advice. I will definitely do those things. Is there a moth season? The reason I ask is that maybe I just might have not seen the mothing areas when I first received the hat (Ebay). It was sent from Canada, in the Winter (Jan of this year), and there are no specific pictures...
I've been getting hats from Ebay and have been putting them in the freezer in case there are moths. Now, I've never seen a moth in or near any of my hats. I put some hats away in boxes in my closet and took out again to inspect, try on, etc. and am not sure if I just did not notice or if there...
Thanks, will keep up the research. What about red liners? Is there a time period with those vs the white. For isntance, I am selling a beater Stetson that has a red liner and was not sure what to put in the description. I did not see that in the Publisform website.
Its a good thing I read this; I thought that the number was the % of beaver in the felt!!
How does one know if it late 50's? the liner? Arent they better than today's in general?
I think that's why I havent been wearing my 7 1/8s. I will have to go through each hat to see how they fit, sell off the tighter ones. I also notice it's how I wear them; I can wear the tighter hats up high like a halo and it won't bother me as much. Kinda bummed about all those good hats I...
Guidance please??
So I have come to the realization that I like my hats a bit looser than what I have thought I preferred previously. I find that a size OVER my normal size feels better with some padding, (I like a little movement with head turns, but grips with nods.). But most of my stuff is...
Did you scoop this one up? Was looking at that, but got the black Stetson 100 instead, from the same seller. I think we pulled the trigger at the same time, lol
ok, age old question. Found some info on other sites but I want to be sure I have the best info...
I have acquired a bunch of hats from Ebay, all in varying condition. How should I treat them when I get them. By visiting this site and researching, I am thinking of doing these:
