Christy’s Marlborough size 61 in Navy - price reduced
I looked over the Dean at the Hats in the Belfry site - the Marlborough is bigger in the crown and brim, obviously; there should definitely be enough room in the crown vertically. The Marlborough may appear less tapered from the front due to the bash, but it's hard to say without seeing them...- carldelo

Christy’s Marlborough size 61 in Navy - price reduced
Hi Brent - re the size, I'm a true size 62 and can wear the hat, although it's tight. I've measured my head where it sits comfortably and get 61 or a bit more. Re: taper, the drawback is that it is not perceived to be properly vintage in appearance, which is true. However, if it suits your...- carldelo

Looking for a hat
Well for me at least, a high straight crown makes me look like I'm wearing my daddy's hat and trying to look all grown up. The moderate, modern Stetson taper, however, looks just right --- they're real hats too. I've been wearing hats for 30+ years and am used to wearing real hats, vintage and... -
Looking for a hat
Looks pretty good for a starter lid - similar proportions to the Stetson Ashland. If your coat is black, I'd get the gray hat, if it's an earth tone (tan, brown, whatever) I'd get the black oak which looks to be a very dark brown. Sometimes a tonal ribbon (matching the felt) like on the black... -
Photographs Of Hats Fresh From Surviving The Elements
EEK! - that is one soggy dog - but it came out OK, is that correct? Vive le Chatham.... I once had something similar happen with coffee (!) leaking from an overhead bin and filling the top of my vintage Cavanagh - but it didn't stain or distort the felt if you can believe it. -

Stetson Brewster review
Well I mentioned it in a prior post, but I returned it for two reasons: the brim was too wide for me at 2-1/2"; the shiny finish made it too fancy for my uses - I wanted a tan hat for casual daytime wear with a couple of khaki jackets I have and this one is quite dressy looking. When I wear tan... -
Stetson Brewster review
Sorry Matt, but I returned the lid - I would have been a good test-bed, cause I tend to sweat up my hats. FWIW, the fabric sweat felt like a smooth canvas-finish nylon, and I'm pretty sure it was two layer, like tubular webbing sewn flat. It was really comfortable, especially compared to the... -

Can a felt brim edge be modified?
Well, I suppose you could cut it off using the binding as the cutting guide. There wouldn't be any holes, and you would obviously lose the width of the binding and then have to dress the cut edge. That idea gives me the willies, however. Plus I prefer a bound edge. -
Hat advice needed, please.
I wouldn't spend that much on a wool hat, although the shape is nice. I have 2 Stetson Ashland, which has a 2-1/4" welted brim and a teardrop crown. It's available at Bencraft - so is the Stetson Saxon, similar to the Ashland with a 2" welted brim and a center dent crease similar to the Madison... -

Stetson Temples vs Rain
Chatham = Sovereign quality felt Downs = Royal quality felt Sovereign is one notch higher quality than Royal, and it is a noticeable difference. Other than the felt quality and color selection, the Chatham and Downs are the same. The Ashland is a Downs with an underwelt brim. Interesting... -
Hat styles for oversized melons?
Geesie - Did you ever get a larger-brimmed hat? I ask as I'm selling my Marlborough and Stylemaster in case you're still looking to experiment with larger brims - ads are up in the classifieds now. No pressure obviously, just thought you might like to have a look. -

Christy’s Marlborough size 61 in Navy - price reduced
Reduced price - $80 shipping included. This is an almost new size 62 Christy’s Marlborough purchased from Hornets Hats last spring. Hat was ordered in size 62, but is almost a perfect size 61 and is therefore too small for me – worn twice. The color is a rich dark blue, felt is similar to...- carldelo

Stetson Brewster review
The Stylemaster has a 2-1/2" brim, and a 4-1/2" tall crown, a little taller than the Stetson 4" teardrop crown. I actually haven't worn it yet, as I think it looks too tall and too brimmy on me. -
Show Us Your Grotons!
Ah yes, that takes me back to the Cavanagh NOS I found in size 7-5/8 in a Salvation Army in 1976, cost me 6 bits - still waiting for the lightning to strike again.... nope, not happening. But back to the Groton, I agree that the contrast stitching and ribbon are a nice touch on this lid.
