Are 71/2 Size vitage Hats Harder to Find?
Few and far between NB-13 is on the mark. I found a vintage unworn size 7-3/4 Cavanagh back in 1976. I'm still waiting for lightning to strike a second time - luckily I stopped holding my breath a while ago.... edit - oops - I quoted GWD, not NB-13, but he's right too.... -
Is this a Homburg?
Brim What's the brim treatment? It looks like a welted edge - is it stitched? -

Hats In The Car/A Newbie Question
Yep Almost 5 years in mine, it still makes me smile every time I see it - the driving experience is very immediate and exciting. I suppose if you had kids it wouldn't be practical, but it's surprisingly capable... -
So, what happened with the bound-edge Nostalgia?
On the 'Stetson in the Modern Day' thread, Hatco published a picture of the new Whippet - it's about a third of the way down on page 7: http://thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=8571&page=7 I may be wrong, but that new Whippet (3210-0223) is just a Chatham (3210) with a nice wide brim... -

So, what happened with the bound-edge Nostalgia?
Ay, there's the rub, Bencraft doesn't sell them, they haven't arrived - yet. But I'll be there when they do.... -
So, what happened with the bound-edge Nostalgia?
I gave up I emailed Besdor off-list in late Nov - early Dec and was told the order was still pending, but delayed at the manufacturer. In early Jan I sent a few emails asking for an update but received no response. I've been wanting a gray hat for a while, so I finally gave up in the face of no... -
Hats In The Car/A Newbie Question
Yep I was wondering if anyone else had one - it's odd to be able to wear a hat comfortably in a 'small' car - I'm only 5'9 so have lots of room. It very much irritated my friend with an Audi A4 when I got my Mini and it turned out to be more comfortable inside... -
Where'd Cheney get his hat?
Geez I swear I'm not that guy, that was 30 seconds with google, and definitely not inate, detailed knowledge of everything Indy, really, I swear.... -
Where'd Cheney get his hat?
I'm with you Matt - black hats either look too religious/formal or funereal to me. I virtually always prefer gray unless it's a bowler. Gtdean, I agree that Cheney's channeling Major Toht on the right: -

Christmas hat disappointment
Closure In order to remove the bad taste of my Christmas hat purchase disappointment, I went by Bencraft last Wed. and picked up a replacement Stetson Ashland in caribou. It's a discontinued hat and I got the last one in my size. Full price, it was a little dusty and I wish it had the nice... -
Lid for a Tux; Advice?
From the old ads, it looks like the hat should be replaced by a cigarette - but what color cigarette holder should one use? Ah, decisions, decisions.... -
Christmas hat disappointment
This is my point Thanks Carter, the point was not that the hat was a defective Stetson, but that a defective hat made it to a customer. As I said in my OP, I have 4 very nice Stetsons, 3 modern, so they do make a quality product. I think the point is to frequent retailers that take the time to... -
Christmas hat disappointment
A little more info - the Stetson I got from Bencraft is a great hat and seems relatively new - it has the nice brown sweat and white liner. The turkey seemed older somehow, and I think it is at least several years old. The other recent Stetson I bought (a Chatham from VHS) is also a good hat... -
I just bought my first hat and its all your fault
Wow You scored a winner right out of the gates. That hump in the brim at the front looks to be the result of resting the hat on a flat surface with the brim snapped down. When you're not wearing it, you should snap the brim up in front and store it on a hat rest or hang it from a hook. The... -

Christmas hat disappointment
I just shipped it back for the refund as it was the last one in my size so there was no exchange offer. In the end, I'm out about $9 for the return shipping, which is not so bad, I guess. Thanks for the supportive comments from the others as well --- my wife is in retail and I'd hate to think... -
Christmas hat disappointment
I ordered a Stetson Ashland for myself over Christmas, and what a disappointment. Let me say that I’ve been a Stetson partisan for a while, and own four very nice examples. I have a dark brown Ashland that I bought at Bencraft last winter, and it’s been the hat I wear the most. So, when I saw... -

What grey is more versatile?
Ditto Ditto NB's comments as well - here's my old Christy's in dark gray, probably the Bessemer color. It's only a few shades off black. I'd go with the light gray if versatility is the goal. http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l234/carldelo/Hat%20stretching/Stretcher008.jpg PS - Lord Best... -
Feathers in your hatbands?
Thanks, it looks pretty good although I only wore it a couple of times. Recently I gave my nephew the choice of my stingy brims that I don't wear anymore and he picked that one. He liked the idea of the hat posing as something it isn't. I might put a feather in a Tyrolean hat, but then again, I...
