Open crown
Nice!!! I did much the same on my western straw. I couldn't believe just how wide the brim actually is! -
Current cleaning/blocking recommendations
Did you try JJ's Hat Center in NYC? They're open currently in spite of the COVID-19 disaster. On second thought...I dunno...that could be risky sending your hat to NYC...might pick up a rider on the way home. -
Felt all seasons
For my first year (last year) in proper hats I was a part of this group. No longer. Love my vintage Resistol...but this year I'm rocking a Palm Leaf straw for the warmer seasons. It's already much lighter, less sweaty and has a different aura to it. Plus...I grew concerned about getting my... -

First try at ribbon and bow change!
I like how the knot in the grey band has that "V" shape in it...Beautiful. -
The Resistol Roundup
Nice. My first babysitters husband wore one just like this...I can almost smell his cigar looking at these pics. Thank you. -
A Good Time for a Custom Hat?
My recent hat purchase was a Palm Leaf hat for my "Summer Hat" project. No loss...only 30 dollars on ebay...and turned out great! Not large enough to be affected by the "Rona"...thankfully. I originally said I'd be a "One Hat Guy"...but last summer I realized I spent a lot less time in the... -
Men's Cologne / Men Of ( STYLE ) THE FEDORA LOUNGE What Are You Wearing ?
I spray once or twice on my upper chest...that's all. I used to do the wrist-spray-rub thing but found it overwhelming... The only person that ever compliments me on my cologne is my wife. I think only a few times over the past 4 years has anyone else mentioned it. Currently, I favor "Stetson -...- Dm101

Straw Hat Customization....
Oh most definitely!! I found something that might work though. Painting the design onto the hat with a solution of diluted "Ammonium Chloride" and then hitting it with a heat gun! Turns the painted pattern into what appears as burned in without applying fire! The only thing I'd be worried about... -
Straw Hat Customization....
Good point. I can see me burning a hole in my brand spanking new Straw Hat. Maybe I'll just stick to slapping on an embroidered patch...probably safer. Yeah... -
Straw Hat Customization....
So I was right...Soldering iron/Woodburning iron IS the way to go. Hmmm...I wonder how fast they could get it back to me. Trying to wear this hat before the sweaty season comes. -
Straw Hat Customization....
Hey all, I finally have my new Palm Leaf Straw hat shaped and fitted perfectly. After I put the paracord hatband on it, I realized I wanted to put more symbology into it. I have a shape Id like to get on it, but I don't know how to go about it. I know marker won't work, I don't want to... -

I still can't get over how abso-friggin-lutely awesome that hat is!! I have got to find one of those one day...wow. :eek::D:cool: -
Serious about a straw Stetson Stratoliner
I soaked my palm leaf straw hat and stretched mine slightly with my modified hat-jack....Just enough to reshape it from circular to my preferred Long-Oval head shape. I bound it with paracord around the base of the crown so that it would take the shape while drying. Worked great! It was still a... -
Questions: The lowdown on Palm Leaf hats...
Wow, you're a strong man... I had to put a whole country-side between myself and my ex. No chance of paths crossing... I've got the full beard and bald head, but if it were the other way around...I wouldn't complain not one bit! -
