What’s COW?
Hi, I *just* figured this one out yesterday. I tried searching for 'COW' and got nothing. Too short an argument for the search engine, I suppose. So, I went to the back end of the hat forum and started reading backwards for COW references until I found it. Oddly enough I hadn't thought... -
Binding Your Edge
Hi, Well, Singer *used* to make all sorts of oddball attachments for their machines way back when. And, I mean way back. I have no idea what's out there now beyond what I see in some of the stores. Most of those look like computerized mini embroidery machines (the wife's business is... -
All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette
Hi, Ladies just leave their hats on all the time, even during the playing of the national anthem. The thinking is that many ladies hats are complicated to don and so doffing would present a problem when it came time to don them again. This doesn't apply to women wearing ballcaps, though... -
What Am I Missing?
Hi, eBay is simple, really. It all depends on just who else is looking for the same thing you're looking for and at the same time. When bidding wars happen, it's because more than one person has the hots for something at the same time. When you get a goodie for the opening bid, it... -
Guys, we may be experiencing the dawn of a new day...
Hi, The only way I can see a hat contributing to balding is if the hat tends to grab onto hairs and pull them out! Uni-fit ballcaps have a tendency to do this, which is why I don't wear them much at all. I agree with the comment that balding leads to hatting, so to speak. :p I don't... -

Anyone know of a hatter near Raleigh, NC?
Hi, Now there's a place easily enough visited! Thanks for the pointer. :) When I lived in the Hudson Valley, it was easy enough to drive to Poughkeepsie and hop onto the Metro North and go to NYC in search of things like this. Sadly, it's no longer that easy. I had looked online as well... -
In the day, how many hats? What color?
Well, I gave in. I wasn't here six months before I went the jeans and golf shirt route. That was 13 years ago. I'm just so much more comfortable, especially working in an R&D lab. I never liked wearing a tie, either. I can't really stand to have one around my neck. I actually become rather mean... -
Hello All, Just found the Board!
Hi, Welcome. I'm new here as well. I came looking for a decent place to have a fedora custom made, and have had lots of pointers in a very short time. One thing is for sure, you're going to be steered in the right direction, and it doens't matter just which direction(s) you want to go... -
Anyone know of a hatter near Raleigh, NC?
Hi, Cincinatti is something on the order of 450 miles from Raleigh, NC. Should I have reason to head in that direction, it would be a good place to stop by. That might be a bit far to go just for the one thing, though. Part of the problem is that I gave up racing a couple years ago and no... -
In the day, how many hats? What color?
Hi, Well, my dad whoe also lived in the Hat Era (1923-1995) only had two hats. One was the brown fedora that I wound up wearing to it's disintegration. The other was a straw hat he wore when working around the farm. Dad had all of one suit, a brown one, which rather explains the brown... -

Anyone know of a hatter near Raleigh, NC?
Hi, That's a great idea! One could go a step further and make up some posterboard rings as 'hat templates' to try some variations. You echoed my thinking - it'd be best to vist someone that knows what's up, and figure out what's the best match. This is exactly what I want to do... -
Anyone know of a hatter near Raleigh, NC?
Hi, First off, thanks for the replies. :) Well, of the two 7 1/8 hats I bought off eBay, one is a bit too large, as in it sort-of rattles around on my head. Seeing as this was a vintage hat (a Champ), it may well have been stretched a bit. So, I'm not too awfully worried about that one... -
Anyone know of a hatter near Raleigh, NC?
Hi, Hi, y'all. I'm new here, and I need a little hat help. I need to find a source for a new hat. I live near Raleigh, NC and no one around here seems to know of a store (or a person for that matter) that makes (or even sells) hats. One of the things I need is for someone who knows what...
