hat brushing
Brushing hats :eusa_doh: I read someplace that we should always brush our hats in a counter-clockwise direction, but what bothers me is that when there are feathers they are on the left side, so if we brush counter-clockwise, then we have to be very careful not to ruffle the feathers. I do... -
Panama Hats direct?
Panama Hats Direct Okay, here's the last "straw": William answered my e-mail in which I explained that my 6-7/8 hat is a great fit on my son who wears a 7-1/2, and his reply was to try putting a little foam inside the sweatband. For less money and a lot less time I could buy a hat from the... -
Panama Hats direct?
Panama Hats Direct Okay, here's my experience: Casey sent an e-mail offering his $48 Cuenca for $35. I "felt" it was an offer I couldn't refuse. The hat looked very nice for the price and fit well. Unfortunately customs had cut the box open and damaged the hat. The boys were very gracious... -
Fedoras and Tees/Fedoras and Jeans
I don't run around in T-shirts anymore, but I haven't worn a suit since my granddaughter got married three years ago. If I had to wait to wear one of my fedoras with a suit, they'd last forever. I wear mine almost all the time with jeans which is my daily attire. I do have one Dobbs Twenty... -

Fedora for my face shape (pics)
Hat Look Personally, I think that hat and the way you wear it is great for what you describe. I can just see you up on the bandstand with that hat on, and maybe shades, too. Keep trying and you'll find something that you love.:eusa_clap -
Please help assess my hats......

Felt quality, then and now.
vintage hats I agree that today's hats don't appear to have the quality and so many of them don't offer but small, medium and large. Several years ago at a flea market or antique store for maybe $15, I found a brown xxxx beaver fedora labeled Towncraft Plus (from Penney's of course.) It says... -
NEW WAVE OF NOIR; Doing it how they did it(1920's-1940's).
Vintage Duds Great! You've certainly captured the "look" there. I don't have any threads that qualify, but I'm way old enough to remember how my dad dressed in the 30's. -

Brylcreem
A little Dab'll do ya They also used to sing, "A little dab'll do ya, use more only if you dare." I dared—back in the 40's when I believe Brylcreme was rather new. My hair was something like a roll of baling wire and would constantly snap back into the form it had taken on during the night...- pplepic

Passing Indy's Hat
Next Indy I just saw Crystal Skull, and came away with the impression that Indy's new-found son was all set to take over, and Indy can reprise Sean Connery's earlier role as the father and son team. Maybe even the kid's grandfather could join in. lol -
The hat seller of the Golden Era?
Golden Era Haberdashers When I was a kid in Portland, Oregon, John Helmer Haberdashers was already a household name. I always stopped and admired the hats in the window, although I was too young and poor to own one. The store is still going today, but I don't believe they always have the same... -
Goodwill Hat
Thrift store hats Wow! Beautiful hat. I haven't had luck in thrift shops (so far), but have picked up some really nice hats in antique shops as well as at flea markets. I deplore today's method of offering new hats in only small, medium and large. I understand that in real cheapies, but I... -
Panama Hats direct?
I went with Panama Hats Direct because (a) they have a cool website and (b) because they offer the $48 Cuenca hat. My budget at the moment doesn't permit hundreds of dollars. I've seen hats for twenty bucks at flea markets and the quality isn't that bad. Matter of finding something I like. I... -

Regular Oval vs Long Oval
Long Oval I have a beautiful Dobbs hat with box that I picked up at an antique store. Like new, and it's a long oval 6 7/8. It fits perfectly, but it's so dressy that I've never worn it out, being a very casual dresser in my dotage. However, my other hats are simply 6 7/8 and seem to...
