“WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...
Maybe this is a Kid Rock fan? -

Wolfbrae Custom Hatters
I dig that "corded" style ribbon and I never met a red liner I didn't like. -

Ask a question, get an answer
Your hat, your choice. But - maybe try some other options first. Maybe use less padding at the temple area. And/or maybe you can work the sweatband so the ripples move towards the back of the hat. -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
That's a great hat and you wear it well. No one will take you for being Amish - with those headphones... Maybe Mennonite ;) I am always wanting to change out the stock hatband with something different so my $0.02 advice is to think it through a bit to make sure you get the look you are going... -

What hat are you waiting for today?
This should be in the WTF thread. Then there should be a law against wearing this thing. -

Post New Hats Here!
Did you actually measure the brim yourself? I looked at the website and it says 3.5" brim but, proportionally, it looks more like a 4.5 - 5" brim... Maybe that's just me. I can't tell by the single photo if it fits you or not. The hat looks good and if you are new to hats you may be... -

M.C. Gannon Hat Company
That's good to know. I am going to have him build a Big Four replica. Do you, by chance, know what size curling shackle(s) he has? -

sucker for the high crowns
Too bad it's not your size. Otherwise you could do a double a triple you could do a "ripples in the pond" telescope crease. That might bring the height down a bit. o_O -

sucker for the high crowns
Is that a trophy hat or a wearin' hat? (As Laverne said, "Is that hanky for showin' or for blowin'?") You can't revive a trend if you don't wear it regularly. -

sucker for the high crowns
I remembered that plum-crazy-tall hat and was hoping you'd post it here. Have you worn it much? -

sucker for the high crowns
This is a great thread in need of a bump. It is also in need of new life (and photos). Most of the photos in this thread are gone (post #96 was the first Pic). The last couple of pages have some great pictures. I think it's time to kick start the tall crown fad again. A 100-year celebration, if... -

What hat are you waiting for today?
It’s too early to post about waiting for a Gannon (since I’m still in the que and have a good 1-2 months before it even gets started) but that is where my heart is. Anyway, I am waiting on a Sunbody 4" brim, 5-3/4" open crown, Guatemalan standard palm hat… My current palm straw is starting to... -

Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns
Having recently watched a couple of 1930's western movies, I can say they had some tall crowns during that timeframe. The Carlsbad's 7" crown was probably somewhat modest for that day, huh? Amusing comments aside, that is a nice hat. -

Ask a question, get an answer
Editing this to ask @carouselvic (and anyone else) with a vintage Stetson (or other brand) Big Four hat. I have two questions for you: 1) The brim is 4 inches - Is that 4 inches plus the curl, or is it a total of 4 inches including the curl? 2) How big is the curl? Thanks for any help you can... -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Must be that "new" math that makes someone read 7 3/8 as 7 3/4. On a side note... I do love those red linings. -

Weather Hats, Belle Fourche, South Dakota
I don't know if I would wear it, but that telescope/Montana peak crown is kind of awesome. (Is that what it would be called?) -

Periodic Sweatband cleaning
I appreciate the insight on saddle soap. I went light on it to good effect (these sweats weren't too dirty) but I think I'll look for a less intense cleaner. I have had good luck with the lanolin not being tacky for too long. Maybe melting it helps with absorption and it's generally good for skin. -

Periodic Sweatband cleaning
I have searched and read through the various sweatband care/cleaning threads and this seems most relevant for my concerns. I am not a collector so I have no need for caring for an old sweatband (at least not yet). On my new hats, I have worn them for about a week and then treat the front and...
