    JFK no hatless Jack

    Obviously JFK didn't respect his hat very much, notice how he's crushing the crown of his fedora:eek: See Eisenhower properly holding his by the brim.

    Grosgrain ribbon composition

    If you ever have an opportunity to inspect a ribbon off a hat you will see how much shaping is required to fit the contour of your hat.

    moth question...

    Not sure if Art is still working on vintage hats or only making new ones now? It would be well worth it to send to him, maybe he can match the binding from his collection of vintage ribbon stock.

    Boater faction!

    Mike, You are fortunate the boater suits your features. Try and save the leather if you can, I don't believe there is any source for the sweat bands used in boaters.

    Hat making tools

    It would be great if he will make individual block and flanges at a reasonable price. Cobblers would keep individual lasts for their customers in order to fashion bespoke shoes. In fact this is still in practice for the very finest European establishments. The question is will Art store my...

    What hat with a tuxedo?

    Adjusting a panama into a long oval

    Should be no problem. I have had the pleasure of watching Art work on hats when he was here in CA. Trust me, Panamas are stronger and more resilient than one might think. Its the vintage ones that are a problem esp. if they have dried out.

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    I say wear your vintage timepiece with pride, just be more careful with it. My fav. is 14k Hamilton tank from the 50's that I bought about 10 years ago. The only problem with the modern cheap look alikes is they are just that. You will be noticed with a solid gold vintage tank on your wrist...
