    Akubra Overload

    Looks Good I recently sold my Campdraft in Silverbelly, and I'm starting to wonder why. Such a cool hat. Your bash is very similar to what I had in mine. J.B. - looks good, I've got my Carbon Grey Fed IV on right now, very similar bash. I guess I'm a wide ribbon guy right now, and since I...

    Show off your Porkpies

    Nice, Bingles I love the Gene Hackman porkpie as well, and those are really fine examples. I'm a large fella, and they look silly as hell on me, but I love stingy brims all the same. It's nice not to whack the brim of my hat on every thing I pass! Great hats. Frank

    The Conversion Corral

    Rain is the answer I've had two Silverbelly Stetsons and one Resistol, all 5 or 7 X, that were subjected to torrential rains, and are now just about as floppy as fedora felt. One or two days of rain doesn't seem to do it, but after about 5 days straight, whatever stiffener was in them went...

    Photos of your Pinnacle

    Hey folks, I'm getting ready to buy a Pinnacle from a friend at a huge discount. I haven't seen it yet, and I wondered if any of you would be so kind as to post some photos of yours. I searched, but several photos had been erased, or were no longer available. I sure appreciate it. Frank.

    Akubra Overload

    JB's Fed IV Hard to tell on my crummy monitor, but what color Fed is that, J.B.? Looks good on and off you. Frank.

    Is millinery a dying artform?

    Done Thanks for the opportunity. Good Luck

    Akubra Fed IV or Christy's Adventurer, whats better?

    Tried brushing it? If it's just the felt being rubbed the wrong way during storage or shipping, it should brush or rub out. If the felt is actually a different color, that's unacceptable. Have you tried to brush it out? Frank.

    Fedora Lounge classifieds

    eBay is just sometimes easier I've sold and traded here a few times. It's been a pleasure overall, but I've encountered what Guttersnipe was talking about too. In the last few months, I've had three different classifieds answered with "Consider It Sold," or "It's Mine!" type PMs, only to have...

    Stetson Conversion 7 3/4

    More of a 7 3/4, fits me fine I'm tending to the 7 7/8 in some hats, due to my long oval, and this fits me just fine. The bonus hat is also quite roomy. Let me know, Frank.

    New Unopened Jiffy J-1 Hat Steamer SOLD

    Ancestor hat pics

    Civil War? My grandpa had it labeled as Civil War, but that may not be correct. I know absolutely nothing about historic uniforms. It looks like a marching band uniform to me, but I'm sure it was military. He was from the Eastern Seaboard, that's all I know. Frank.

    The Conversion Corral

    Wide Brim Nice job on the conversion. It's definitely a wider brim, but pretty cool looking nonetheless. It's got a Zoot Suit look to it for sure. I wish I had the manual dexterity to cut down and re-ribbon some of my old cowboy hats, since they're just sitting around. Sending them off to...

    Ancestor hat pics

    Outfit He was a colorful guy. His son (my grandfather) went to go see him in his cabin in Wrightwood, CA late in his life and he had used an auger to drill holes in the floor of the cabin rather than fix the leaky roof during a rainstorm. In his youth, he was a prominent cattleman in...

    Hat Horror Stories

    No Fedora Mishaps I've never had a hat-astrophe with a fedora so far, but I've got a collection of fine Stetson and Resistol and custom made westerns that are stained with cranberry and vodka, horse urine, and other things that don't ever come out. My favorite hat foul-up occurred when I was...
