    Just dyed my Gus Miller Hat

    Do to long exposure to the sun the rays faded out the naturual tint of my fedora. Now the hat had such a slight, slight sliver of blue when I recieved it that due to the elements it took the naturual tint out and made it almost a little brownish grey. So I dyed it with some royal blue and pinch...

    Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department goes to Round top service caps for patrol

    I have heard a service cap called a garrisson hat in civil law enforcment but in the military a garrison hat is a different hat which is a "side cap" or "wedge cap".

    Top hat and lounge suit

    A lounge suit is what most people today refer to as a business suit. A top hat then was very often called a high hat. I will post some pictures of me soon wearing this look. If I remember Tony in Tarzana did this in a black lounge suit with black neck tie and silk top hat.

    Tired of the Hat Stupidity. . .Time to get a new hat.

    Very true HamletJSD. It may seem like an igonrant or dumb comment, which it is but very seldom is it meant to be mean or rude. Many times its their way of complimenting you while they think they are being clever.

    Show us your Federation bashes:

    I think that has a much more early 30's look than post ww2look. Post ww2 was low crown wide brim with a teardrop or diamond block. I will say I have seen that hat syle after the war especially in England and the low crown teardrop/diamond block with a wide brim starting in the early 20's. I'm...

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    When someone says something stupid I just smile at the person. Usually they smile back and go "I do like the hat." Maybe they feel as if they were being jerk, or stupid but whatever the case is I get about 100 great comments per every "Hey Bogart" and stupid comment. I also do not consider...

    Stetson "Nostalgia"? (now with pics)

    2 5/8 works for people with thinner faces without being too wide and works with people with fuller faces without being too short. Just a great brim width for many types of faces. The welted edge is a big plus as well.
