Hat Theory... Night wearing? Car life?
Just Wear It! That's my philosophy. I can't help with question #1 but for #2 & #3 I would wear what I want when I want. I know others here have rules of what to wear and when, but then sometimes rules are meant to be broken (at least by me). I generally wear my best hats when dressing... -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Surf Threads - Clothing J.T. That reminds me of my Jr. High days (early 60's). Madras shirts were stylish for the Surfers and wanna-bees at my school (Rock & Roll kids). Along with high-water Levis, Black low-top Converse tennis shoes and white socks. We thought it was cool to be stylin'... -

Great hat movie...
The Great Escape I just saw the ending of this movie again (during final escape part) and realized there were quite a few hats I liked. I'm thinking/hoping the styles were "period proper", but I liked the styles anyway. My wife particularly liked the hat (shape/color) that David McCallum... -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Stetson Porkpie I recently won a Royal Deluxe Stetson Porkpie in 7 3/8 LO (very similar to the Bollman photo), thinking I might be able to stretch it. But after seeing it on my head, I realize it's not my style. I was also worried that after stretching the brim would distort. Two questions... -

Keens Colonials Straw
I recently came across a couple of "Keens Colonials" Straw hats. They appear to be new and one has a factory tag at $13.95. I have never heard of this name, and after a little searching it appears to possibly be connected to HATCO. It has a 3 color ribbon (about 2 inches) and a leather... -

How much do they stretch??
Keeping the stretch! Since I've read that hats have a memory, does anyone keep stretchers in hats when they are not being worn (after it's been stretched). Also any particular trick to making it a long oval besides wearing it all the time. I've picked up some inexpensive hat stretchers... -

Just dyed my Gus Miller Hat
Sweatband replacement Metropd, where did you have the sweatband re-sewn on? Was it local, or did you ship it out? That's the main thing holding me back from cleaning/dying some of my hats. I used to perform in Little Italy with the San Diego Mandolin Orchestra during occasional festivals... -

Prices Gone Crazy !!!!!!!!!!
Merchandise conditions vary depending on whether you're selling or buying. If selling, it's always much better than it really is, and if you're buying, you're picking it apart. It also seems to be "Vintage" if it's not available currently at retail markets. At least that's what I noticed in... -

Prices Gone Crazy !!!!!!!!!!
I took a look at the Homburg mentioned by AlanC in the final closing minutes. Completely out of my range, but I looked and it was $130, then $156, and finally $182. Since I'm broke, I was trying to get a Fedora (Beaver Hats) for my wife, in my range (cheap-under $30), but lost it. At... -

Felt hat basics
Stains in wool hats! What about liquid stains in wool hats? I don't know if it is soda, roof leaks or what. Not real bad, but enough color to notice. If they can't be removed I may go the Rit dye routine. Does naptha work on wool. I don't want to destroy the hats yet, but am planning on... -

Biltmore
My Biltmore I took the plunge (over $50 - big money at this time) and acquired a Biltmore Rosellini recently. I don't know if there is any model name to this hat, but Rosellini is stamped on the sweatband. I purchased this based on the fact that Biltmore appeared on the "Top 10" list by... -

The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard
We regularly watch Andy Griffith in the evenings. It's a nice relief from all the "stuff" going on nowadays. Kinda corny sometimes, but the early shows (B&W) sometimes had a fair amount of men in hats. Also fun to see what might have be debuts for actors of much later shows. And also people... -

The Conversion Corral
Conversions for women Nice liner (and notes) Stoney! I'm in the process of converting some Western hats into Fedoras. I'm sticking with ones that fit so I don't have to deal with the sweatband. At this point I'm just reshaping the hats. Not trimming brims, washing or anything major. If... -

Fedoras on a budget???
Scala sizes I have two fur felt Scala hats (c/o ebay) and both seem 1 to 1 1/2 sizes too large. These are both Czech made. Is this the standard for their hats. I haven't tried the S/M/L/XL series yet. Ralph -

How (NOT) to Buy a Hat on Ebay
When I run into conditions like this, or excessive shipping (BIN $1.00 and $19.95 shipping/handling) I report it to ebay. Doesn't necessarily do any good but I feel better. I have found so many typos in listings that I have searched under various spellings (not usually hats) and have...
