That Boxy Look
Don't give up on eBay for vintage hats. I'm a very difficult size, 7 3/4 extra long oval to 7 7/8, depending on the maker, and I've gotten three off there that were a perfect fit, and a couple more that worked just fine after an affordable tweaking at Optimo. If a custom hat is out of your... -
Musician's hats
That's a nice old school ska look. The Specials used to all wear the same type of stingy trilby hats, with skinny suits. I wish I could fit in one, I love that style. Frank -
Stetson Surplus
NOT. Since it has pretty much the same dimensions as an older Open Road, the Campdraft takes on a "cattleman's crease" just fine. I'd post pictures, but after winning a vintage OR, I put my silverbelly CD back into a fedora shape. It's just a matter of making the center dent a little deeper... -

Thanks guys, I thought that sounded off. I like to use UPS, but sounds like I'll be going postal on this one. Frank -

Ask a question, get an answer
I'm sure this has been covered somewhere, but damned if I can find it. I've got a hat on eBay two different bidders from Japan are interested in. Using my best guesses and their postal codes, the shipping looks like it would be about $120. Could that be right? Does anybody here have any... -
My brand new shiny HH jacket via washer and dryer
In regards to the question about Williams' Saddle Dressing being waterproof, I'd say that it definitely helps. It's not meant to be an actual waterproofer, but I've always used it on my riding boots, and have been on several week-long horse camping trips where it rained every day, and I was the...- frussell

How long does the modern Stetson/HatCo hat last, feasibly?
Wow, getting hot in here. I got the impression that Bebop was referring to the Shortyshattery link he referred to earlier in the thread regarding hatmakers, but I might be wrong. One thing I find interesting is that I've never had any recent Stetson western hats run when wet. All my western... -
2XL + Baby Face
I can squeeze into a 7 3/4 long oval, but really I'm also a 7 7/8. Let me tell you, vintage hats in that size are a real rarity. I've found one by accident, it was labeled and sold with another 7 3/4, but that's been it so far. I find that Akubra's size 63 fits me well, and usually Hatsdirect... -
My brand new shiny HH jacket via washer and dryer
Williams' Saddle Dressing Peacoat and others - as a former leather worker, you guys are right on the money about RM Williams Saddle Dressing. I won't use anything else on my leather. It is available in the U.S., try Big Bend Saddlery. It's not cheap, but you don't have to use tons of it at...- frussell

artists with hats
Burning Sensations had a nice version of "Pablo Picasso" on the Repo Man soundtrack back in the 80s. Very sarcastic, right up my alley. I do love all of Jonathan Richman's work, although my favorite album of his is not available for reasonable prices on CD. I had to search for one of those... -

Good old Pablo. Jonathan Richman said it best. "He was only five foot three, girls could not resist his stare. Pablo Picasso was never called an @@@hole." That last photo is a good example of aforementioned stare. -

Knox Premier with box 7 1/8
I just received this from eBay, and the seller was sharp as a marble. It's clearly labeled as a 7 1/8, but she insisted that it was a 7 7/8. Needless to say, it's not for me to keep. It needs a new sweatband, but otherwise is in fine condition. Some very slight divots, nothing that I can...- frussell

Adam Premier, 7 3/4, priced to sell $70
I've got a black Borsalino Torino stingy brim, no felt issues, could use a cleaning, it's dusty in the desert. A recently purchased Adam Premier that's got a nice medium width box bow ribbon, very little wear and tear. Both have had the liners pulled out for desert heat, but both liners will...- frussell
