How Do You Display Your Crusher Caps?
Since this thread is being revived, I will share a hat storage tip I stole from another Lounger (but I don't recall who it was to credit them properly). I am not currently using it for display purposes, but for daily storage (but plan to use it for displaying at some point). Take a wooden hat... -
WWII Crusher and Garrison Caps
I don't think the visor is actually leather, but it looks decent and it pretty flexible. I ordered one from an overseas maker several years ago based on the website photo - it wasn't even close - wrong material and a CLOTH visor. They did excahnge it for one with a leather visor, but it was... -
The Resistol Roundup
New life for an old Resistol. Last Saturday, I got my early 1960s vintage Resistol (Byer-Rolnick era) “17.50” western felt back from Texas Hatters in Lockhart, TX. I bought the hat a few weeks ago and the seller said that it was black – but when it arrived, it looked brown. Indoors it also... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Thank you. I have had them do custom work and they have transformed several hats I've taken them into "new" hats for me, as well as some repairs and changes on others. Their work is outstanding and my project hats always turn out better than expected. Great folks to do business with and lots... -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday. Over the weekend, I got my [new to me] vintage Byer-Rolnick Resistol “17.50” western back from Texas Hatters in Lockhart, TX, and decided to take it out for a spin today. I bought this hat a few weeks ago, assured by the seller that it was... -
Head scratcher, can you help with this one ????????
If your questions hasn't been answered, I've done some reading on the AN-J-3 lately and as I understand it, there were some variations - some had the A-2 windflap and others were USN styled - also some had epaulettes like the A-2 and some did not. -
WWII Crusher and Garrison Caps
Reviving a very old thread, but could not find a more recent one. Having bought and sold a few original crushers and other WW-II caps (all were either in too poor a condition to wear or the wrong size), I bought this repro cap years ago when I was in the Army. At the time I was considering... -

Post New Hats Here!
Alan - the Bancroft military hat company was what I first thought of when I saw your post. They were located in Framingham, MA, and started about 1900-01 (just before they went bankrupt in the early 2000s their last facility was in Arkansas I believe). I have seen and owned many Bancroft... -

Great hats all around on Sunday and so far today. In anticipation of rain coming in later today, my Akubra Bushman in Moonstone. -
Post New Hats Here!
I picked up this hat on eBay because it was a good deal for an Akubra Bobby, but was too snug when I got it. So I decided to let Texas hatters in Lockhart reblock and resize it for me. Here is the final product I picked up from David on Saturday – a new look, perfect fit, plus a new sweatband... -
Post New Hats Here!
So many threads I could post this in, but I'll stick with it being a new (to me) hat. In the past six months I have purchased three items online (two hats, one leather jacket) where I asked the seller what color the item was - all replied "black." Upon arrival all three were "brown" - the... -

FS - Akubra Camp Draft - Size 59/7-3/8
PM or email is fine. Yes, that's a photo of the actual hat and it has the orginal binding on the brim. Texas Hatters trimmed the brim to 2-5/8" and then reattached the original binding. I will be able to post better photos of the whole hat, interior, etc., when I get home this evening. I...- TPD166
