Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Still Stuck On My Head This hat has only left my melon because my wife won't let me sleep in it. Granite, inspired by Jauntyone and a few others here. Frank[/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Got My First My first VS hat arrived yesterday just in time to throw a quick bash in it and off to the relatives. So far, I've only taken it off to sleep, which was against my will. Excellent. Merry Christmas to all. Frank. -
Christy's of London
Great Service? I'm sorry, I have to disagree. Given all the problems that GTD, Mr. Lucky, myself and others have had with their orders, I would say that great service is not what we've been given. Great service to me is good communication, prompt delivery, notification if something is not in... -

Arrived Yet? GTD - did you get your Christy's yet, or did I miss the photos on another thread? I've got my fingers crossed for you. Frank. -
Stetson Conversion 7 3/4
Still For Sale The title of the above post by Cane Rod Maker is incorrect. This hat is still for sale. Be advised, this is a cowboy hat conversion, not a vintage Stetson. I thought that was clear, but want to make sure nobody misunderstands again. Still a great hat, but not a vintage hat...- frussell

All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette
Hard to Tell Everything is different today. I see men wearing hats indoors, at the table with ladies, inside other folk's homes, etc... I got used to taking off my hat when I was little, but got accustomed to wearing it inside during the 80s and 90s western bar craze. Later, after being... -
Stetson Conversion 7 3/4
I recently had this 5X Stetson western cut down and converted to a fedora/Open Road style by Catalena Hatters. The hat was new/old stock when I got it, and it hasn't been worn more than a few hours. Color is Ranch Tan, which is very close to Akubra's Silverbelly. I've got too many hats coming...- frussell

The perfect movie
The Third Man I remember my grandparents watching that movie with me when I was a kid, and they went so far as to buy a zither in hopes that my father would learn to play it! It ended up hanging on the wall. Years later after they died, I happened to have dinner with my other grandparents...- frussell

Family meeting celebrities?
Long List, have to find pix My grandfather was a PR man and local politician in Palm Springs during its heyday, so he met just about everybody. Louis Armstrong, pretty much all the Rat Pack, Charlie Farrell, Ralph Bellamy, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Bogart, Shirley Temple, Albert Einstein, Amos...- frussell

The Conversion Corral
Nice to have it back I'm really happy about how this one turned out. I thought it would come back with a real low crown and lots of taper, but it's just fine. Stiff as heck, but super smooth felt. It's already been worn more the last week than it has been in over 20 years. Thanks, Frank -

The Conversion Corral
Az-Tex western conversion This is an old American Hat Co. cowboy hat my grandfather gave me in the early 80s. It was old when he got it from the widow of some old cattleman. When I took it to the Hat Store in Houston years ago, Gary the owner said he thought he had actually been on the line... -
Hats in modern life
I Disagree Kid Rock should stay with the too large sized hats, find one with about four more inches of crown depth, and pull it all the way down, so all we can see are his classy shirts. This guy has been and continues to be a first class wanker. Frank -
Christy's of London
Foldaway/Adventurer No worries gtd, seems like the foldaway and the Adventurer are two different animals. A whole different set of concerns, but the cloth sweat should help. Much as I love that Christy's felt, I believe I'm done with spending any money with them. I hope your hat is... -
Hats in modern life
Tom Waits is the MAN Mario, those are two great musicians, but unfortunately, they are also two guys who have never cared what anyone thought of them. Too bad more celebrities are not as brave. Most of the folks I see wearing fedoras on TV are not who I want people to associate me with when... -
Christy's of London
That's no fun. Wow, they really dropped the ball with your order. You are a more patient man than I. I hope you get your order soon, and more importantly, it is the right size. Hopefully you did not wait all this time to receive a tight hat like I did. Poor Sarah, she seems to be making a... -
