Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Set for life Wow BrandX, that stack of 3 hats would just about set me up for life - amazing. -
What size block do I need?
As far as I understand it, for American sizing, Circumference = (Hat Size) x Pi, so a size 7.25 hat would have a circumference of 22.78" or about 22-3/4". -
Good looking boaters that won't break the bank?
Alternative I've tried on boaters several times, and even in my size, they didn't fit the shape of my head. They also felt so solidly constructed it didn't seem they would ever conform. That and the fact that they make me look like an idiot is why I've never bought one, although I think they're... -
Help finding straw "Goldfinger" hat
Try VHS As a guess, I'd say check Village Hat Shop - they carry a ton of straws and seem to favor the hipster stingy brims - can't think of a specific model though. -
My New Homemade Hat Torture Device- Stretcher
Great job Wow I can see why you made the stretcher - that Knox hat really justified your effort, I missed the original thread when you got it. My covetous instincts are now kicking in on overdrive: Must - Have - Own - Full - Head - Hat - Stretcher - Too! :eek: -

Justdog - that's a beauty - is it commercially available or vintage? -
Stylemaster---My First Dress Fedora! (Pics)
Found it Atticus - I looked on australiangear.com after your post but the size of the Stylemaster stopped at 61 so I gave up. Then I figured you must have seen it somewhere, so after a search I finally found the larger sizes on everythingaustralian.com. Up to size 64 is available with the... -
New Stetson hat - Need advice
Finally, a picture Thanks for the sentiment - I finally managed to take and upload a photo: http://s97.photobucket.com/albums/l234/carldelo/Misc%20hats/?action=view¤t=Hatshow015.jpg Cheers, Carl -
AMAZING Vintage Photos of Fedoras
Great photos I just found this thread because of the new sticky 'links to important hat threads'. This is a great idea, by the way, as I now have several older threads to read on a massively, miserably rainy day in NYC. From an engineering perspective, I would say the wider sweat band is... -
2 from Art
Outstanding That gray hat really floats my boat - do you have its salient stats? By that I mean the big 4: crown height, brim width, felt color, ribbon color. You've hit on a really sweet combination. Did Art make the straw hat as well? -

Pentagonal bashes
Pentagonal = 5 sides and 5 vertices or points You had me worried - I just double-checked the photo above to make sure the picture was actually of a pentagon bash, which it is. -
Pentagonal bashes
Thanks Brad Brad, thanks for finding the thread - the pentagon bash I was looking for is in Dinerman's photo on page 4 - very cool, looks like the halfway point on the way to a hand-bashed C-crown. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=10272&page=4 Hey Dinerman, do you have any... -
Pentagonal bashes
I was just looking for the sticky thread on hat creases which appears to be gone or moved. Specifically I was looking for pics of pentagonal bashes to get ideas for a custom hat - anyone have a nice pic to share? -

New Stetson hat - Need advice
Nix pin, switch quill I took the pin and feather off my Stetson immediately and put them on the el-cheapo Jaxon Corduroy 'fedora' I bought for under $20 - sort of like putting rot-gut whiskey in a single malt bottle (or something). The feather makes the other hat look a little Alpine-style... -

'The Hatters' from Sunday's NYTimes
Besdor, a story on your shop by the Times is overdue, I'll bet - hope it runs soon and please post a link here when it does. -
How do you like your hats to fit?
As a reality check, you might check your fabric tape with a steel tape measure or yardstick. I had one old vinyl flexible tape that was a full 1/2" off, so I replaced it with a better one that measures true. Having said that, I think trying it on is best. Second best is to use an online seller... -
hmmmm...
Nice stingy brim That's funny, I just noticed the Tanall last week on another site. I was looking for a stingy brim for someone else and that was the pick of the litter (I too have a 7-3/4 cocoanut, but stingy brims don't work on me at all). I think the multi-stitched band is a nice unusual... -
'The Hatters' from Sunday's NYTimes
This article about J.J. Hat Center was in the Sunday New York Times - it was a very short bit in the City Section, but the online version has a link to a nice photo essay of the shop. It's been a while since I went by J.J., I think I need to drop by for a visit soon... -
Stylemaster---My First Dress Fedora! (Pics)
You guys with tiny heads just give me fits... :rage: :D OK, just kidding. If I ever find a vintage hat in my size, I plan to just go ahead and buy it no matter what it looks like, just to see what it's like. At least I have the picture of you in the Stylemaster to reference when ordering my...
