    Thanks all for the feedback. It seems like "most" people going for a custom hat pay the extra $50 or so for the beaver. I have not seen many go for a lightweight hat in rabbit and I am guessing for apparent reasons. Hard to really get a feel for the difference between the two at least for...

    Question on Winchester Felt Beaver vs Rabbit I know this topic has been discussed but I am looking for anyone that did a direct comparison from any of the custom hatters that made them a lightweight hat (extra pouncing) that could provide a 1:1 apples to apples comparison of the felt. In...

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

    Me too...I have been using ebay for 20+ years, shorty after it started. I rarely ever bid at all, prefer the BIN or best offer when shopping. I have tried to bid on a couple hats in the 8 or so months I have been on FL while learning about hats and been sniped on every one which is rather...

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

    Whaaaaat???? Size 7....has to be something up with the bidding? The seller "gunloader55" (Vic) is a FL member and has recently sold several hats on ebay. He had the Art Fawcett Dualist for sale and I believe he bought several VS lids in the beginning of the year. Curios what went on with that...

    Good point I was figuring less than $10 but that is east coast and most if not all the hatters are on the west coast! :( I need to just stick with Hat-co outlet hats! :cool:

    Thanks Belfast and Bob for the reply. I may contact Mike....I am guessing a reblock with 2 way shipping is going to be in the $50-75 range as Bob mentioned, added cost to a hat for sure.

    Pre-Owned - Art Fawcett & Northwest Fedoras For Sale: Great condition

    Yes, beautiful hats for sure but all a tad too big for me. I agree the VS steel with shark's gill is my favorite (although Iwould prefer a little more brim).

    This is good to know that to toquilla straw hats can be re-blocked to the desired shape. Does anybody know if it is cost effective for lower priced hats? I know you have the 2 way shipping costs but does anybody have a rough idea of the cost involved?

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    I don't know much about borsalinos nor any of their sub brands/lines ideally I would love to find a thin ribbon 40s vintage (wide brim, high crown) but unfortunately they appear to demand a premium and are highly sought after. Regardless my question is putting style aside which borsalinos...
