Vintage Genuine Panama Open Road c.6o's (?) PRISTINE $130 Delivered w/Original Box
I don't want to, but I must cull the herd. Like new! In original box! Just as nice & just as solid as it looks, no crispyness, no dry rot, no holes, rip, tears, fit is spot-on, sweat is perfect, brim snaps down very satisfyingly. With spring here, I had hoped to wear this...- Rick Blaine

Ask a question, get an answer
It appears to me to be, and I do so wish that someone who bloody well knows might agree, that this is a viable body but prior to being tippered & brimmed & wet blocked, the first two seemingly involve wetting & further stretching & expansion of the size of the body, the final serves to give the...- Rick Blaine

It is a set, though the ribbon measures only about 20". It is my hope this can be crafted into a fedora. A new sixty year old fedora.- Rick Blaine

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Unknown Czech Fedora A Czech seller accepted my ridiculously low offer for this "Stetson" from the Cold-war era eastern block. Apparently in The Czech Republic, like much of Europe, "Stetson" seeming denotes a style rather than manufacturer. An unknown, although the appearance is that of...- Rick Blaine

OTHER THAN eBAY Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
So I went looking for a Tilley ...being as how we are fast approaching the "hotter'n baked hell" season. I had my heart set on the TH5, nice hat. Instead I found & bought this antique - A 1982 tagged Tilley made, signed & dated by Mr. Tilley himself! A little more brim than I was...- Rick Blaine

Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
It is my opinion that a well snapped brim should be a full 180º of an oval & dead straight from edge to edge and lotsa' straws are reluctant to obey. What techniques do all of ya'll (yes that IS the plural of "ya'll") use to tame a brim? Often I will seize the brim at the break at opposite...- Rick Blaine

Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
Pls. forgive the lateness of my reply. It is hella busy at work & I am runnin' around like a head with it's chicken cut off. Short answer - Yes w/ a but & No w/ an if. I prefer the toquilla straw model. I am finding the brim on the folder difficult to 'snap' to my satisfaction, although I...- Rick Blaine

(& $30 ea. shipping) they can remake 'em to fit a stripe arsed baboon, if you like. :eeek: For you ,you'll lose some brim & crown in the...- Rick Blaine

Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
Canada Post employs a single, asthmatic, anemic tortoise on most of its routes. And he is not getting any younger. I also very much like the Stetson Orienter Straw Hat, but wonder about quality as they are sizes only s,m,lg,exl. I should certainly hope Hatco would refill & replenish...- Rick Blaine
