    What are you wearing today??

    This is kind of cheating because I wore this back in November when I was in the desert in Morocco. It is my Gannon hat, it fit the outfit and the setting so well and everyone loved it.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Didn't know where else to post this. I had made a purchase with seller: "timothiescloset" recently, changed my mind, he issued a refund before it was shipped out. The refund bounced twice, the seller became suddenly unresponsive to my messages to ask if there was an issue, I gave him the...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Today's outfit: a 1930s black Stetson I got off the legend: Alan. I found a few beautiful black feathers when I was out West a month ago because I knew I could stick them in my hats beautifully and I was right! Side note: I saw some Magpie birds, I looked far and wide for some of those...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Kind of cheating, not today's outfit but an outfit I wear often. This is with my latest hat: Gannon in silverbelly, Western weight, 3inch flat brim

    A few hats on the 'bay

    shoot no 6 7/8s, I'm starting to look again. I want a nice contrasting ribbon one, saw a beautiful Stetson mist grey with a contrasting ribbon I love but it's in a size 7 and I have a size 7 hat and the 1 size bigger really is a little too big for my liking...

    How to Stop Losing Lapel Pins?

    I've used those on my bag and one of them the tip broke off but the pin is still secure, I think the mechanism that allows you to "unlock" it

    Hornskov Hats - custom Danish hatter

    ya I noticed that too, must be how he got them to be so pliable? Wonder if it's a new blend of felt available to hatters

    Sunrise Hat Company felt (nutria) and hatters’ tools

    like I said, it will never be the same, I'm aware of all of that. But having felt the FEPSA swatches, I was extremely satisfied by the softness, evenness and density and that is in comparison to my vintage, knowing all well the limitations. I'm not trying to get a 1:1 exact, although that would...

    Sunrise Hat Company felt (nutria) and hatters’ tools

    Fair, I know nothing (so far anyway) will compare to a good ol vintage. I have my Stetson 7x 1950 to compare it to (and for a short time before I returned a vintage Borsalino), if I can find a hat made today that can be 90% of what my vintage is in terms of felt density and softness, I'll be...

    Sunrise Hat Company felt (nutria) and hatters’ tools

    keep us updated! I want to hear thoughts on the color, density, softness, if it's really close to a vintage as we can get or not and curious to see when the hatters start using it how it is

    Sandpaper or Emery Paper?

    that looks indented, I haven't gotten to that point but I'm putting the sandpaper away and appreciating the hat for what it is. I might at some point try putting some sand (whenever I get somewhere with sand) to "dirty it up" underneath lightly to get the patchiness even, but what I did do is...

    Sandpaper or Emery Paper?

    100% beaver Winchester, I saw the hatter go at it with a 320 in the other direction mind you (she was going CCW underside), she said it doesn't matter which direction you're going so long as you keep the same direction, and I was cringing the entire time but I didn't want to tell a hatter they...
