What hat are you waiting for today?
Thanks. I'm really loving just how malleable the Borsalino is. I saw a video from JJ Hats in NYC demonstrating just how malleable the Borsalino "Qualita Superiore" felt is, and they weren't kidding. I'm easily able to smoosh the crown into any shape I like, but it still returns to its... -

That's an interesting hat. I haven't seen one with a seam right down the middle like that. I'm not sure I'm a fan of it, since even the slightest deviation in dents or shapes makes it look off-kilter, but not necessarily in a casually-unkempt way... I do dig that color, and the longer felt... -
Post New Hats Here!
Here's my latest - a Borsalino Bellagio, which I ordered from Del Monico Hatter in Connecticut last Thursday. It arrived in just four days to California, which is pretty darned good, I think. It was delivered this evening by USPS at 5:45pm (ordered after 9pm last Thursday, 11/10/22). So, it... -
What hat are you waiting for today?
I just ordered the Borsalino Bellagio in charcoal grey, as a complement to my tobacco Stratoliner to round out the colors I can wear them with. It's my first Borsalino, and I see it doesn't have a bound brim. I'm curious - do unbound brims require special care or more delicate storage? Or is... -
Suggestion for Car Coat?
That does look very nice. But, I'm looking for wool or wool blend, and sub-$1000. Thank you, though!- biffnix

Suggestion for Car Coat?
So, I live in a very rural, very small town. As in, population 3800, and it's several hours' drive to any town with more than 10,000 people - either 2.5 hours south to Ridgecrest, in another county, or 2.5 hours north to Carson City, in another state. So, I'm looking for advice on solid brands...- biffnix

Suggestion for Car Coat?
Thanks for your suggestion. On googling the Pegasus coats, they look like they're all leather. I really am looking for a wool or wool blend coat, as I already have a couple of leather jackets I enjoy. I appreciate it, though!- biffnix

I've actually watched several of Kevin's videos while researching fedoras, but not this one, so thanks for the link! I've ordered some sizing tape from Amazon, since I haven't received a response to my phone message or email regarding the sizing tape. We'll see. -
Suggestion for Car Coat?
Hello all, I'm new to the forum, and I've checked some of the Q&A threads, but I'm hoping for a direct suggestion. I'm looking for a wool or wool blend coat for traveling, in dark Navy, Charcoal, or perhaps even black. I've considered a pea coat, but I think double-breasted may not look good...- biffnix

I knew it was a risk, since I live in a very small, very rural town, and there really isn't any place within a day's drive that I can try on a quality hat. But, it's not really that loose - just enough to worry about a strong gust. For now, I'm using two microfiber cloths that came with... -

Thank you so much, that's very kind to say. I must admit I was nervous purchasing it, as I live in a very rural town, and there are no hat stores anywhere within several hours' drive. I do own a really cheap "Nature Company" wool fedora which I liked the look of, so I was trying to find a... -

I've been here 23 years so far, and wouldn't live anywhere else. But, Bridgeport? Brr! Gets too cold for me! :) -

Heh. I've never been much of a Gibson guy, myself. Not that they're not great guitars - they certainly are. Just not my playing style, I suppose. C'est la vie. -

Hello all. I've purchased my first Stetson, a pure Stratoliner, in tobacco. I ordered it online from Del Monico Hatters in Connecticut, and it arrived here in California in six days. It arrived in good order, and came in a nice box for storage. The fit is ever-so-slightly large (7 1/2) on my...
