FOR SALE - 1930'S Mallory Aristocrat Derby SZ 7 1/8 - 7 1/4
For sale is a really nice 1930's Mallory Aristocrat Derby. Its marked 7 1/8 but fits and measures like a BIG 7 1/8 or a small 7 1/4. The felt on this one is really nice. There is some wear on the edge binding as is very common with old derbies and the sweatband isn't in the best of shape. The...- Joshbru3

FOR SALE - 1930's Rubio Fedora SZ 6 7/8 - 7
Here is an interesting one....This Rubio is kind of a mystery. I am not sure where it was made, but I suspect it was made in Europe based on the sweatband design and printing. If I were to guess I would say this hat is a WOOL/FUR mix. I can't prove it, but the felt has a rougher texture to it...- Joshbru3

FOR SALE - 1900s Stetson Select Quality UP Brim SZ 7
This is a great hat. The only major flaw about the hat is the sweatband. Its brittle and crumbling. If you want to wear this hat, the sweatband needs to be replaced, but if you want to buy it as a display piece and preserve the sweatband, it is securely sewn into the hat. There are two little...- Joshbru3

FOR SALE - VERY rare 1938/1939 Stetson Standard Quality Tyrolean Alpine Hat SZ 6 7/8
When was the last time you saw a Stetson Tyrolean????? Its the first one I have ever seen. It was a popular style in 1938/1939 and quickly died out due to the heavy German influence in these hats and the start of WW2. Had the war not broken out, this hat style may have been all the rage going...- Joshbru3

FOR SALE - Early 1900's Panama Straw Boater SZ 7 1/8 (Fits like SZ 7)
Here is a pretty rare find. This boater has several features which dates it to the early 1900's/19-teens. Its far from museum quality, but finding these very old panamas in perfect shape is next to impossible. Its labeled as a size 7 1/8, but fits like a comfortable size 7. The straw is in great...- Joshbru3

Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
I would partially agree....and here's why I say that. Shellac and felting density go hand in hand. Most modern hat bodies today are much more loosely felted than vintage hat bodies. They also do not have the time to age before being blocked and shipped out the stores. Even Winchester felts are... -

The hat looks great on you!! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap I can't believe that the post office crushed another box. They are just the worst. I wrote all over the box, "DO NOT CRUSH," and made sure to put tons of bubble wrap in the box. :mad: At least it wasn't damaged, I'm really glad about that... -

Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
Exactly! If Hatco were to cut the shellac by 1/4 or maybe 1/3....the hat would be drastically better. When I took the tour of the Hatco factory a couple years back, I saw a shellac station where a Hatco employee was adding a good amount of shellac inside the crown of a hat. It was't a fluid... -
The Conversion Corral
Honestly..........a ROUNDING JACK is worth every single penny. I have done a ton of conversions, restorations, etc....and let me tell you there is NO method that is more even and efficient than a rounding jack. Even if you only convert 2 hats a year, its worth it. Here's why I say that.......I...
