    PORTIS PATH

    Real nice!!! Glad you grabbed that one up. I bet you are loving the light weight felt! I don't know what it is about those thin ribbon hats....be careful you WILL be adding more to your rotation! I just got my 3rd and 4th thin ribbon 2 days apart this week and thinking about reducing my rather...

    The Hatco Outlet Store in Garland, TX

    Very nice!!!! Now if the outlet only had any more of these in stock I would of definitely ordered one. I can use a panama to compliment my PBros hemp Milan for this hot weather. BTW I do agree Candy was very nice and extremely helpful.

I have been meaning to make a few hat bands out of wood but have not had a chance to pick up some wood....been looking for a 12" log something with a decent grain to cut on the table saw into a couple inch...

    Akubra Hats

    I just got my bluegrass green Campdraft that I ordered Tues night from everythingaustralian after getting outbid on one on ebay (sold for $15 less than new). It arrived Saturday just in time for a father's day gift from my kids. After reading about sizing I originally was going to order a 59cm...

    Yep, mine does have the same royal deluxe liner tip except the sweat has "Premier Stratoliner" vs "Royal deluxe". Regardless the felt is nicer on the caribou even though it is not "excellent quality" which for sure is nice.....got to check out the hatco outlet! thx

    Post New Hats Here!

    Very nice Jim! I picked up t he same exact hat except the 150th anniversary edition (not sure what the difference is except for a tag and sticker) new off of ebay a couple of weeks ago. I was thinking I was getting an excellent quality but the felt is definitely much thinner and nicer than my...

    Movie hats

    Thanks for the post. I just saw the movie last night with my wife and was thinking I need to check out the FL to see what other's have discussed regarding the hats in the movie. I too am curious who provided the hats for this film.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    This may be a stupid question since I am still learning. The only real vintage hat I have and have held is my pre 30s select stetson. Would this hat be a good candidate to compare felts to the couple moderns and 2nd hand customs I have in my modest collection? If so I think I am starting to...

    I need to post up some pics but I did receive my PB Bros "Tankersley" about 1.5 weeks ago. The timing was perfect, the fedex driver pulled up literally as I was leaving for a family camping trip to the lake. The weather was seasonally hot with temps ~87F so I was able to give it a test drive...

    Lightweight hat bodies- Custom Hatters Wondering if anybody had any comparisons of "lightweight" fur felts from any of the custom hatters? I know there is the VS Art Fawcett "Artlite" that I believe uses Beaver Lightweight hat bodies. I also seen some MC Gannon hats that take the standard...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Nice! That is a great price for sure. I am waiting for the same hat in Caribou; however I paid a little bit more (also new-ebay) in 7 3/8. I have been trying to find a gray hat to add to my modest rotation for months (all my hats are in the tan/brown/SB family of colors). I have the same hat in...

    Peters Brothers

    Sorry about the name....correction made!!! Actually talking to Shane I had to send him some pics of the 2 "Tankersley" hats to jog his memory. I think I will stick with these measurements which match up with my modern strat, higher crowns are nice but for a summer casual hat for me at least I...

    Peters Brothers

    Finally got a couple preliminary pics of my PB "Tankersley" which I requested in natural color, slight rake and slightly lower open crown. The measurements are a little over 4 1/4" in the front and 4" in the back. Sounds to me more like the specs of a strat (just measured my modern strat). Looks...

    Regular Oval vs Long Oval

    Yes we do! It must be the engineer in me that wants to analyze these things on an emperical level. I made a sketch of my head and yes very close to an oval but indeed a little egg shaped as you pointed out. I am going to maybe work on one of my many hobbies which is woodworking and make a custom...
