    Post New Hats Here!

    moontheloon, that Marathon is more than likely a 30's hat. It has the old marathon logo, old style size tag, and appears to have an unreeded sweatband. If it is 40's, its super early 40's, but more than likely a mid-late 30's hat. I have owned several early 20's and 30's Marathons and they are...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Today I'm wearing a vintage Milan hat body that I blocked, flanged, and rebuilt. The vintage Pug is from an old Knox donor.

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    GREAT derby!! I have a Howard as well. I was able to do a little bit of research on the company from the American Hatter Publications and that hat looks to be from the late 1890's-very early 1900's. Its very similar to mine. Howard was a brand name used by the Freeman Brothers of...

    FOR SALE -1940s BILTMORE Buckhorn Western SZ 7 1/8 UK (7 1/4 US) - EBAY

    The finish is very soft and very easy to dry crease. Like many other pre-1960 westerns I have handled, the felt is not loaded with shellac and the brim is not stiff as a board. Its only a little thicker than a regular dress weight hat. It appears to have been a lighter weight western because the...

    I wear a size 7 LO, but every once in a while I can wear a 7 1/8. I bought this hat in hopes that it would fit. well.......its HUGE on me. It measures 23 inches in circumference. I know Biltmore used to use UK sizing because I have owned a couple pre-1950's Biltmore's and they have all measured...

    NEW STETSON 2015 Dress catalog

    I can tell you that I have looked on every hat retailer website I know of and the only one I see selling it is JJ Hat Center. Plus, JJ Hat Center was the first place to advertise it on their website and facebook page. I am unsure if its exclusive to JJ Hat Center or if they just got them first...

    NEW STETSON 2015 Dress catalog

    Those two were most definitely my favorites. The Grand Central in Silverbelly looks very cool too with the underwelt. I like the shorter brims when they are matched with taller open crowns, so 2 3/8 would be perfect for me. That Silverbelly felt with the brown ribbon is such a classic color...

    NEW STETSON 2015 Dress catalog

    Absolutely! I think you hit the nail right on the head. Stetson has done their job by releasing the Open Crown models, now its up to not only the hat retailers, but all of us hat guys to show people the many different styles a crown can have. I find it extremely fun being able to experiment with...

    Fedoras in the 19th Century.

    The flange on that hat is really great. Most definitely looks like the Kings hat in the famous homburg photo.
