Correct, it is not functionally integral to the sweatband seam. -
Western, anyone?
Dang Ross, you're gonna have to stop showing off and get at least one beater hat like the rest of us! :D -
Dating Your Hat (A Place to Discuss the Age of Your Vintage Hat)
Somebody else might be able to get you more specific, but the wider sweatband and onionskin liner tip are generally indicative of 50's hat. -
Western, anyone?
Ok, ok, I'll watch the movie! I tend to think the derivative of the BOP is the campaign hat. My 1920's No. 1 quality came with a shallow campaign hat style crease which is about as much as you can get out of the crown height. -
Advintage hat help
I misunderstood Michelle when we were communicating and I thought dark sable was only available in rabbit. Turns out they also have it in beaver now. Had I known, I probably would have waited for that because I like the darker felt too. If I were in the market now, I think I would wait to see... -

Mine is beaver, just because I'd rather have a beaver hat. Word on the street is that a special (rabbit felt) anniversary edition will be released in June. -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Thanks Max, no hurt feelings here! Just bad timing on my dog's part! :D -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Thanks gents, the new vet thinks he has a heart murmur (that the old vet didn't seem to notice this past summer), but the real bill is his dental work. The high end of the estimate was twice that of the low end estimate (depending on if he needs extractions). Hence not a lot of "play" money this... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Thanks @BobHufford and @Frunobulax for the tip, but this cool velour western one went above my budget in consideration of upcoming vet bills. Maybe next time, dog wins this month! -
Advintage hat help
You might have better luck at Club Obi Wan, or reaching out directly. Not sure anybody here has an adVintage. Just my $.02 though, the Raiders hat to beat is the Herbert Johnson. -

If I were going to chop 1/4" off a hat for some reason, I would also have it reflanged. Just sayin. -

Brim Trim - Will 1/8" Make a Noticeable Difference?
...what's a Boston brim cutter? You talking about the little silver things? The normal hatter's tool is a rounding jack. It's the tool in the center of this pic -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Ahh the Japanese Whippet! Very nice! I love that they went all out down to the keyhole tag. I wish they would do more vintage reproductions. -

For the amount of rain we get in the bay area, and for the amount I spend out in it, I generally do not worry about my beaver hats. I don't generally wear vintage if there's a good chance of rain. My go to rain hats are my modern Stetson westerns, big brims are very useful! Other folks have... -
Brim Trim - Will 1/8" Make a Noticeable Difference?
I'm maybe 5'7" if I'm wearing boots, I buy size XS when I can find it, and I'm one of those skinny jean wearing millennials, and most of my hats are now wider than 2 1/2" brim. XS levis trucker, 3" (rolled) brim Junior Cowboy. Kevin wasn't there that day! -

Some of them did come with liners and some of them apparently did not have the row of stitching. There are one or two examples of an unstitched brim floating around. 3/4" ribbon, distinctive bowkeep, mine is 5 1/4" open crown, 2 3/8" but we have also seen different widths. 123 verification... -
Brim Trim - Will 1/8" Make a Noticeable Difference?
I resemble that remark... Yeah, if anything he could use a little more of the Willie Nelson special and a little less of the....whatever. Too much coffee I'm sure.;) (My excuse is insomnia, I swear!) As far as the OP, this is not perfect because the first row is scaled differently, but...
