Is millinery a dying artform?
Done, quick and painless. Good luck with it. -

A lot of good arguments above. I will say, with the two hats I sold I had very few tire-kickers. I think this is because I put up a lot of pictures - 8 for each hat (including the interior), plus detailed measurements of the brim, crown, ribbon, etc. This info answers most people's questions... -

Yep, no reason to buy a tight hat - no joy there. There'll be more coming around the bend presently, no doubt. $20 for an OR is a bona-fide steal, but only if it's in your size... -

I have no desire to buy/sell on ebay, and specifically don't want a Paypal account (just too dangerous/tempting, if you know what I mean). If I have a hat to sell, it will be here or nowhere. I have been surprised in the recent past by members posting a hat for 24 hours or less before becoming... -
Dimensional brims
Talk about anisotropic brims! Eek Lefty, that horrible cap reminds of this more-horrible Worth&Worth model, which I had almost successfully purged from my memory: Located here: http://www.hatshop.com/site/showItem.php?Inv_ID=81 -

Very well done, considering a Dobbs Dayton costs $130 new. I wish I lived on the same part of the continent as a Stetson outlet. Dark brown and mid-gray are a great pair to start off with, as well. Welcome to the obsession, sounds like you'll need something in silverbelly or sage green very soon.... -
30s stingy brim
Wow There's a very stylish gent in his 70s or so that attends a dance my wife and I go to several times a year. He's about the best dancer I've ever seen in person (think Fred Astaire good) and wears a hat with the wrinkle bash most of the time. I kind of assumed he invented it - but that's... -
Measuring Circumference
RLK is correct, the difference of 0.318 must be split, as the 1/Pi difference is between the inside and outside diameters of the hat. The tacit assumption therefore is that the material thickness is about 0.16 inch on average - possibly a little different as the shape is not circular. All of... -
Stetson Drifter
Menagerie And while you're at it, how about adding kangaroo felt, the G-day: http://www.stetsonhat.com/products_detail.php?id=523 Funny that Stetson has kangaroo felt - does Akubra use it? -
Rollable Panama Hat and Hat Tube
Nice solution, and much better than PVC. I have another suggestion - use the ubiquitous tube from any nice bottle of single malt Scotch. I save mine pathologically, with no apparent use (just ask my wife). So thanks CB, now I have an excuse to buy a rollable Panama, so I can use the tube from my... -

Post New Hats Here!
You might try to find a clear plastic mailing tube with end caps so you can see the hat inside. I believe the UPS store or a Mailbox-type place would have a selection. -
Two Months in Africa
Consider polypro I recommend the Joe Fedora: http://www.noggintops.com/page.cfm?p=247 It's a pretty soft polypro faux milan weave hat. It is unaffected by water, floats, can be rolled, has an adjustable webbing band and a beefy chin strap that hooks up out of the way. It has an open weave so... -

Stylemaster in Acorn Fawn
Hey Dundee - I like the rebash quite a bit, and the name too. I'm glad you changed your mind - that lid suits you well. Enjoy! -
Akubra Stylemaster / Stetson Chatham comparison
The Marlborough and Chatham are pretty close in size - but neither touched the top of my head, so differences would be less apparent to me. The Christy's felt was smoother and softer than Akubra (by a little), but not as thick as Stetson. Finish levels are similar all around, the Christy's sweat... -

Post New Hats Here!
Hi Boushi - if this was what you ordered in place of the Ashland, I think you made a good choice, it looks good on you. I love the gray, not black, ribbon and the brim-binding. I was considering the Whippet in tawny, and this makes me want to go try one on. Nice to hear it rebashes easily... -
Light Grey Hats with Grey Beards?
Analogist - you did a fantastic job on the HST - it's my favorite VS of all. I can't sport the large dimensions, so someday I hope to have a version made with smaller brim and crown... Brent, silverbelly is a great color - I also quite like Stetson Caribou gray color. I have one - it tends to... -
Akubra Stylemaster / Stetson Chatham comparison
I had both I had both, but just recently sold my Acorn Fawn Stylemaster. I took quite a few pics and posted the measurements - the thread is here: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=45729 I have a sage Chatham, and haven't seen the tawny color in person so can't comment on... -
Borsalino Film
Which W&W did you order, what color? Inquiring minds want to know... I'm heading by there in a week or two to drop a hat for brim-binding - who knows what might accidentally 'leap' onto my head from the shelves.....
