    HATCO Sold...

    If the new owner is who I'm thinking..... I believe the Pro Equine guy that just took over is a friend of mine. He recently had the folks at Stetson/Resistol make me a custom Tom Mix/Old West style hat with a bound brim and big ribbon, after he saw me wearing one he liked at a funeral. As far...

    Nearly New Stetson Saxon 7 3/4, other fedoras

    Time to cut a deal, save eBay frustration One hundred dollars gets you the Stetson Saxon and the cheaper but dashing Belfry wool fedora packed together in the Saxon's original box, shipping included. That's a loss of at least 80 bucks for me, but my other purchases/conversions are quickly...

    Akubra Stylemaster

    Thanks for the photos Mr. Tutt - I share your pain about eBay, but I rarely find anything vintage in a 7 3/4 long oval. I'm looking forward to the Stylemaster a great deal, and love my Camp Draft. Hatsdirect has been really great, and I only waited about 7 or 8 days for the CD. I appreciate...

    Akubra Stylemaster

    Thanks Fellas Maybe I should re-phrase my question. I've seen the ad for the old Stylemasters, so I'm aware it's been around a while. Is there another old Stetson or other brand that it resembles, just for reference? Thanks, Frank

    Western hat with brim upturned in front anyone ?

    Wind and Rain If you've ever worn a cowboy hat enough to wear it in lots of rain and extreme weathers, you will know that the brim overall tends to get pretty curly, as well as soft. If you are a working cowboy that rides in the wind a lot, with your favorite super soft worn in hat, sometimes...

    Akubra Stylemaster

    Stylemaster = What Vintage Hat? Excuse my ignorance if this has been answered, but I was wondering which vintage (or modern) hat the Akubra Stylemaster most resembles. I know their Camp Draft is essentially the Open Road, but is the Stylemaster based on anything else? I've got one coming in...

    Louis the Hatter Bowler, 7 3/4, 1950s? Gone to eBay

    This hat needs to go to make room for others. I need to get this moved out before my several new/repaired hats start arriving this week. My wife will not be pleased if I try to jam 4 new hats into an already stuffed closet. Please help me out here, or I'll have to put this great hat back on...

    Nearly New Stetson Saxon 7 3/4, other fedoras

    These need to go soon Due to the several new hats/repaired or converted hats I've got coming in, I need to make these go away quickly to avoid marital problems. I will be putting these up on eBay at higher prices in the next few days. I would really rather sell them here if possible. Make an...

    Answers to carldelo Brim is kettle-curled, unrolled would be 2 1/4 inches. Crown is pretty close to 5 1/2 inches. I'll try and post photos in the next day or so. Thanks, Frank

    Louis the Hatter Bowler, 7 3/4, 1950s? Gone to eBay

    Wow, pretty precise. Marc - Seeing as I'm no bowler or homburg expert, could you give me some clues as to how you identified this hat from the photos shown, down to the time span? I'm just working with info from the previous owner. Thanks, Frank

    Stetson Gun Club Three Forks Vs. Akubra Campdraft

    Campdraft in Silverbelly Goose - I've seen your photos, and you and I aren't far apart facially, and apparently style-wise. I just got a Silverbelly Campdraft from Hatsdirect, and the wait was short, the service excellent, and the hat is top notch. If I want a quality cowboy hat, or a vintage...

    How did you start wearing hats?

    Runs in the family I called my grandfather on my mother's side, who is in my avatar, and most recently in the ancestor hat pics thread, "Hat" for the first twenty years of my life, because I couldn't pronounce whatever they wanted me to call him, and he always wore a Stetson cowboy hat. He...
