    Indiana Jones' hat(s) in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" look (and are) so tall because they have a very shallow (but sharp) center crease, which is rather difficult to do by hand without a hat block.

    "Will the Campdraft's dimensions crease out to look like the OR pictures above?" They certainly should. My Campdrafts have 5.75" (+?) open crowns and 2.875" brims, whereas my lone (1980s) Open Road has only a 5.125" open crown and a 2.5" brim. Other than for the color, one of my Campdrafts...

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    Straw Panama Fedora

    Sunbody hats are extremely heavy in weight compared to Panamas, with the "fine" hats being even heavier than their "standard" hats.

    Johnny Depp's brown fedora

    "A while" has now been over a month for me. I think that I'd really rather not bother with folks like that. :(

    What are you wearing today??

    It's been in the mid-teens here the last few days. Here I am preparing to walk back home after Julian calendar Christmas festivities, attired in a Raccoon hat from Wisconsin, a Scottish Black Watch lambswool scarf, and an early 1960s seven pound weight super heavy Greek army overcoat, after...

    Most Over-rated Actress of the Golden Era?

    Perhaps you're thinking of Gene Hackman and Robert Duvall recently, in the past couple of decades, when they have progressed rather past the usual leading man age range. Gene Hackman became a leading man from "The French Connection" onwards, while the same was true of Robert Duvall, following...

    Looking For a Formal Fedora

    Never in public. Very rarely tried telling jokes, but never successfully.

    Rather like considering Ed Sullivan a musician then? How-dee!
