    pics of Stylemasters on noggins?

    2nd that I ordered my size and it's roomy but not too big. I haven't worn it enough to get it properly shrunk.

    Tragedy with a fortunate ending...

    Thinking back, I remember doing a lot of blotting with paper towels also, so maybe the soaking plus neurotic blotting is what got it clean. I can't remember if the white lining was stained or not, so I don't know if anything got through the felt. But a lining is not so important really....

    Tragedy with a fortunate ending...

    Years ago I was on Amtrak cross-county. I was snoozing with my hat (NOS Cavanagh in 7-3/4) on the seat next to me. I woke to find that a fellow passenger's big Thermos (old style with a cork) had leaked from the overhead luggage rack onto my hat - the teardrop and the brim were fully filled with...

    pics of Stylemasters on noggins?

    Here's a couple more of the comparison photos - the exposures aren't correct, but they show the shapes OK. With the hats in front of me, I'd say the SM has a bit more taper (maybe an 1/8" on each side). The difference is due to the slightly narrower teardrop that is blocked in its crown. I guess...

    Hey Rob - I think they're nearly the same - I may have a picture of that comparison, if not I'll take one and post it.

    pics of Stylemasters on noggins?

    Here's some pics of my Acorn Stylemaster with a gray Capricorn (click the thumbnails) - sorry no noggin shots. If you're going to the trouble of ordering one, consider a Capricorn while you're at it, they're inexpensive and just about the same dimension as the Stylemaster. Mine gets a lot of...

    FELT HAT DAY

    Good question - I found these two sites that state that the day is the 15th of September, regardless of the day of the week. They hardly seem authoritative, and neither knows the origin - it would be interesting to know which manufacturer manufactured this 'holiday' to spur fall sales...

    Stetson Benchley

    So now that you have it and are a bona-fide swain, how do you like the hat? Per your earlier question, how is the felt on the stiffness scale, construction details, etc.?

    Just got this...

    To complete the thought, American hat size is circumference in inches divided by PI.

    Hats in the rain, do they bleed so to speak?

    I wear all my Stetsons in the rain (not at the same time) and have never had a problem. There've been a few anecdotes about bleeding Stetsons repeated over and over, making it seem like a worse problem than it is, in my opinion.

    Akubra Capricorn Review

    Stylemaster comparison I bought a Stylemaster along with my Capricorn last spring - I think they look very similar - all the main dimensions are within 1/8". The teardrop is slightly wider on the Capricorn, so the sides look a little straighter vs. the slight taper of the Stylemaster.

    Where to buy in NYC...

    MWS To answer the original question, you can buy Scout hat products at Manhattan Wardrobe Supply: http://www.wardrobesupplies.com/store/m2_mjsupp.html It's on West 29th Street. I had a lot of fun browsing around this theatrical supply house for an hour or so. They have low prices on hat...

    Tips for best "all weather" hat

    I would believe your measurement and Hatsdirect - it may take some time to shrink down to your size, but better a little loose than too tight.

    Joe Fedora poly straw, deeply discounted

    Let's say potato, although I emphasize that this implies nothing about your head or mine [bad] So C-J, as I remember you kayak on occasion, the clock is ticking for a low, low price on high-style, water wear.....

    Hat Suggestion

    I agree a black homburg is the way to go. Sterling Leather has the Stetson Homburg which has a nice appearance: http://www.sterlingleather.com/stetsonhats-10842-TF1323Homburg.html Miller Hats has the Stetson, but calls it the 'Corleone' (yeesh)...

    Yeah, I guess it's lucky for me that hat shape looks the best on me of any I have ever tried....

    Joe Fedora poly straw, deeply discounted

    Hope you like it as much as I do. BTW, I just washed mine last night - put it in a basin of warm water with dish soap and scrubbed it with a vegetable brush. A quick rinse and it dried in an hour or so, now it looks brand new....

    Stetson Benchley

    Yep, Benchley, Brewster, Downs, Chatham, Hampton, Ashland all have the same crown shape (Stetson calls it profile 10).
