This Made Me Feel Guilty About Wearing Fur Felt Hats
I can see both sides of this issue. Going into the video, I saw the name Peta, and so I knew that the people who produced it are crazy (they more or less want animals to have rights equal to humans), but the fact that we dislike and disagree with the messenger doesn't make what they're saying...- Mulceber

This Made Me Feel Guilty About Wearing Fur Felt Hats
Or buy beaver felt - from my knowledge, most of the beaver felt bodies came from wild beavers, which are caught in under-water traps that kill them via drowning. Much more humane than what those poor rabbits in China go through. -M- Mulceber

The Cavanagh Club
Somebody's got to develop a flow chart for hat age identification...although given how complex it is, maybe a "choose-your-own-adventure" book would be better able to encapsulate the principles. -M -
The Essentials - Must Haves for the Collector
I think trying to create a list of essentials is an exercise in futility. Every hat collector has different aesthetics, which may be affected not just by personal tastes, but also by what is reasonably acquirable. Your list, for example, Garrett, includes a LOT of hats that it would be much... -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
I'd say either a center dent or a c-crown. -

Optimo south side mobsters
Gorgeous hats, Aureliano! Do you know what block Graham used on the modified Manhattan? Really like the effect it has. Also, what are the specs on those beauties? -M -
Decisions, decisions? Do you match your hat to anything?
I'd say Midnite Blue, Oxblood, or Chocolate. Particularly the former two. -
Highest price paid, lowest price paid for your fedora.
Lowest - an Optimo I got from an estate sale for $125. Pretty amazing deal for what it was. Highest - my VS Black Cherry Lite...although that may change when I take a trip to Chicago in March...I've been oggling the Optimo 1000 no-dye silver belly for a long time... -

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
I believe that's what they call two birds with one stone, right Art? On a side note, how'd you get your father interested in hats? -

Hat Styles LIFE Oct. 10. 1938
Man I'd love that Older Businessmen hat... (minus the hole in the pinch, of course). -
Stetson Eaton
My advice: Stetson isn't what it used to be. The felt is far lower in quality than it was 50 years ago (as are most production hats nowadays) and the workmanship is shoddy. If you're looking for a reasonably-priced production felt hat that will be high quality, I would recommend going with... -
Haters gotta hate. Or is it hatters?
[sigh] I'd forgotten how ugly the internet can be.
