The Conversion Corral
It looks like that one has enough brim work as a fedora. My homburg only has a 2" brim. Yours looks more like 2 1/4. But that may be due to a wide angle lens. -
Why is the Stetson Whippet so prized?
I have no idea what the concensus is but I can guess. I have two modern whippets. Many here would complain that the crown is shorter and more tapered. If I felt that way, I would reblock it. But I like my whippets just the way they are. -
How many have you lost to moths? How many rescued?
None moth bitten and none moth bite restored here. -
What degree of rake do you prefer?
I like as little rake as possible and the crown as short as possible.. -

Good advice. It is a matter of more than stretching. The hat should be completely re-blocked when changing sizes. Otherwise you end up with undesired taper or other problems. The process normally requires installation of a new sweat band as well. Let a pro do it. Optimo is excellent but a... -
Panama Hat Thread
Good stuff. You don't have to travel very far in your house to find a hat, do you? ;) -
Western, anyone?
The Buckaroo looks like a boss of the plains. Great look. -

You aren't likely to find people here with personal experience with this hat. Generally this group doesn't care for or buy wool felt hats. The problem is that they shrink if they get wet so they don't normally last very long. You might look for a fur felt pork pie on Ebay. Generally, the... -
Western, anyone?
