    Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.

    Look at the color saturation on that hat! It looks like vintage felt and the fact that its not loaded with shellac is a major plus. There is NO ONE and I do mean NO ONE that is going to tell me that Winchester makes a product as good as Fepsa....because they don't. The proof is in the pudding...

    2015 Stetson Excellent Quality GREEN THIN RIBBON (Preview & Review)

    Probably the same reason people trying to recreate Eastman-Kodaks Polaroid formula are having such a hard time. When they stopped making Polaroid film, they fired people, sold equipment and the process was pretty much lost with the people they let go. Then other smaller companies wanted to start...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I believe that one might actually be a real beaver topper and not silk. The wide flat brim, tall straight crown and beaver felt make me think its pre 1840's

    Just an update on the felt doing an amazing job weathering another harsh Chicago snow storm. I have been putting this hat through the paces and I wore it during a snow storm the other day.

    The Trials and Tribulations of Hat Stiffener

    Then honestly, get a small can of stiffener from Lesko and apply it to the underside of the brim. It will be very stiff.

    The Trials and Tribulations of Hat Stiffener

    I'm confused, why not use the same stuff that hatters and hat companies have used for generations? Straight shellac like Zinsser's will leave a hat stiff as a board. If you are trying to make helmets, then i'm sure that will work.......just get the colorless version. You can also mix your own...
