    Post New Hats Here!

    I love everything about that hat - brim looks good both ways, so: night time - brim up, day time - snap it down. I'm jealous of that one. Oh, and you probably need to take up being a Jazz musician.

    WTB Anorak

    Pendleton has a cotton anorak on sale that I noticed recently - not sure it's what you're looking for, but the color is nice and the price is massively reduced: Pendleton Cotton Anorak in charcoal Just realized this anorak zips all the down, that's weird. Plus it's lined - oh well....

    Hat Jack vs other stretchers?

    Links to Manhattan and LA Wardrobe Supply were already posted - but that modern 4-way stretcher is not like the one on the lower left in the picture above, which appears to be a really nice vintage model.

    Hat Jack vs other stretchers?

    That looks vintage to me. All the 4-way stretchers change width and length simultaneously. The modern ones have pegs between the 4 pieces, not a nice steel framework like the one in the photo. Ebay may yield one of those if you look long enough, but don't expect it to get big enough for a large...

    Hat Jack vs other stretchers?

    Yes, that's correct. The front and back remain connected to the central threaded post. When I overextended it and the pins fell out, the sides came off and the front and back were free to rotate like a Hat-Jack. It all fell on the floor at the store and was a real pain to get back together...

    Hat Jack vs other stretchers?

    Seems like a good idea, I think you can find sticky-backed cork per Bill's post which would probably work well. Or you could substitute longer pegs and live with the gaps, but I like your idea better. If you like a standard oval shape, that's the way to go. If you want your hat to be a little...

    Does this hat exist?

    Won't a summer weight felt with a 4 inch brim require loads of stiffener to keep it from slapping you in the face? Or a wire hidden in the brim binding? Or whale bone, or whatever?

    Your wish appears to be answered: Dobbs Palomar The Palomar also goes up to size 8, has a 2-3/8 brim and appears to have crown vents similar to the Akubra Capricorn (and comes in more colors).

    Wearing Suit with Straw Hat or Fedora

    I have an Akubra Capricorn in the dark gray color - even though it is a polypro hat, it is finished enough to look proper with a suit. I tend not to wear it during the day, however, but at night it's a natural. There is a bit of venting around the crown that helps give some ventilation. I've...

    Summer lids

    Yeah, he's there - who do think was taking the photo? OK, just to stir the pot and supplant the unpleasant taste in everyone's (internet) mouth (how's that for metaphor-mixing), I'll post this egregious Panama Boater from Orvis: http://www.orvis.com/store/product.aspx?pf_id=0G8H So...

    PENDLETON Mens Wool Overcoat - BELT BACK - SOLD -

    Nice coat - I'm not really in the market, but I wanted to tell you that your size guess seems right. I have a size 44 overcoat with the same shoulder and chest dimensions - it fits well over my suits, which are sized 44 or 46, so it should work for either.

    Boater assistance

    Whatever you order, make sure the vendor has a generous return policy. Boaters are notoriously inflexible - if it doesn't fit your noggin shape, even if it's the right size, a boater will not be amenable to reshaping. Village Hat Shop has them in your size and a great no-extra-shipping cost...
