    6 Akubras, 3 Borsalinos, or one Custom!?

    Not really, in my case. While I appreciate the skills of custom hatters today, I just don't get a charge out of modern hats. I consider them to be reproductions of the real things from the '30s and '40s. If I were a millionaire, I'd go about obtaining my old fedoras just the same way I have...

    Circa 1936 suit saleman's suitcase, samples, documents

    HellifIknow. It seems that the easier it gets to produce merchandise the harder it becomes to find quality. Ironic. In the era of your samples, people really had to put forth grand effort to achieve great results - and they did, without seemingly batting an eye. [huh]

    Well, you know - the poor guy doesn't know how to dress himself. No sense of style whatever, but we put up with him in hopes he'll catch on one of these days... :rolleyes: ;) :D

    Post New Hats Here!

    Hmmmm,... that's certainly something to consider. I have slightly stretched a lot of hats but I don't think I've done it to an unreeded sweatband set-up. FYI - When I do stretch a hat, I apply Lexol, as Spatz mentioned, but I also do two other things: I wet the ribbon all around the hat...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Thanks, guys. I love this hat this way. No regrets at all. And as far as the ribbing goes, I can take as well as I can give. If no one's bustin' my chops around here I'll feel like I'm not one of the gang, y'know? :D
