It’s really kinda unsettling to know that before visiting anyplace of super importance to humanity I would shop pre-war hat stores as my first destination using a Time Machine.
(Oh, and would stop off in Pennsylvania to buy a few Martin D-28s, as well.)
Great post, Buler! These racks of...
Dobbs Fifteen, restoration, on a glorious day!
Wearing it to deliver a restored Stetsonian to the post office for an FL member.
I like workin on ‘em, but like sending ‘em off even better. ;-)

Two nice Borsalinos for $65 apiece including an elusive vintage Borsa box? Thanks!
Of the 90 vintage hat boxes I have this is my...
Sorry, wasn’t referring to your facial expression, but what I said is a borrowed expression meaning; dang, such nice hats this week (as if you’re tryin to get some get back on somebody) But we know you’re not.
It’s just humor; like after a musician finishes an extra-ordinary guitar break someone...
Late 40s/50s Mallory today. A top fav.
The result of an equally appreciative swap with a really good hat collector friend.
He ended up with a tan heathered 7 1/8 50s Stetson Custom V.
Had it fit I wouldn’t have parted with such a cool named Stetson, but absolutely love this Mallory. Has...
Two Civil War styled hats that I’ve built to my own interpretation and taste.
One using an officer’s cord and one with a foot soldier’s cord.
I can wear either according to how I feel. Willing to be a fearless leader of an army that’ll experience victory or defeat, or willing to charge the...
Though some hats on some people look great with an open crown, it’s always amazed me how even a simple single crease can transform most hats into something far and away more….cool.
IMO from first photo to last you went from loser line dancer skulking around in back alleys—to Eastwood like...
That crown crease certainly emphasizes 7” height! You wear it well, too. Maybe you and I need to actually consider wearing these around town?
…..nah. Even with the right coat, caint do it.
Maybe a live stock show somewheres?
Not that I know anything about cows; except grillin em.
I have...
Only to set it straight for the sake of ole Tom and this 80s hat in my possession here’s a few photos that I looked at before shaping the brim.
From the angle used in two of the pics of my hat I can see why you’d say part planter’s hat since the crown appears low.
But in this photo you can see...
