    Been wondering: when did Stetson stop putting wind trollies on Open Roads and other hats? Thanks!

    Do Millennials appreciate Classic Vintage Biker Jackets?

    I work in Santa Monica, California, a couple of days a week. This is where “The Beautiful People” are. Very young and not-so-young hip crowd, and very fashion conscious. I see a fair number of younger folks sporting black leather motorcycle jackets, mostly women. There is sometimes a cafe style...

    Vintage Stetson Boss Raw Edge

    That’s really nice. Do you know if your grandfather bought the hat new from E.W. Mellon in North Carolina? Btw, if you measure the inside of the hat from front to back and side to side that will give you an idea of the size.

    bashing my new hat

    Go for it. I did my Akubra Campdraft open crown with a similar sense of trepidation, and it was super easy and fun. I did dry bashes first, and then did a spray bottle treatment and that set the bash in place. The next time I crease or bash my hat I will do it with steam! These folks know of...

    Thank you very much, guys. I have never heard of Conversation and it seemed weird that there was nothing for PM as that is pretty universal on forums. I see that the Conversation version will function the same and is also useful for group messaging. Thanks again for taking the time to respond...

    That’s good news. While we’re on the subject of how the forum works, I can’t seem to find any button or link for sending messages, PM’s, etc. The only thing I get when I click on the envelope icon is something called, “Start a New Conversation”. Is “Start a New Conversation” the forum’s...

    Akubra Overload

    What do you guys do with the wind trolley? Does anyone actually use this? Since I’ve been wearing my Campdraft the trolley string has loosened up and the button has migrated toward the back of the hat. My Stetson Open Road, which I believe the Campdraft is a model of, does not have one. I guess...

    Re: Gorgeous Borsalino for sale 7 1/4 (22 5/8 ) Hello, I have a few questions please: I do wear a 7 1/4 in some Stetsons but I don’t know Borsalino. Do you know the inside front to back and side to side measurements? Are there any issues or concerns for it to be a regular use hat? Is the...

    Hello, I wanted to send you a PM about the Borsalino that you have for sale in the classified, but I don’t see any link PM’s so I sent you a “Start a Conversion” post with my questions. Please check it if you can. I am fairly new here and have never tried to PM another member, so it’s probably...

    bashing my new hat

    Thank you kindly, gents. Right now this hat is riding low and resting on the top of my head, but I am expecting it to shrink a bit and I think it will be okay once it takes form and gets a bit snugger. I really like the center dent and modest pinch of my Barbisio, but that hat has a smaller brim...

    Zombie, are you using L.A. County water? That’s the source of our water district’s water, and it is crazy hard. I never knew what that meant until I lived here. If I don’t run vinegar through my coffee maker every couple of weeks it starts clogging up. I would not use the county water on a hat...

    Akubra Overload

    It was great. I bought the hat from hatdirect.com, a.k.a. The Hatttery, in Australia. Spoke with a very nice and helpful woman named Trudi. Shipping came out to about $25 U.S.D. I had the hat six days later, shipped from Australia to California. The hat is very nice, I am very happy with it and...

    A new silverbellly Campdraft Deluxe. It needs to be be broken in and settle in and shrink down a bit. My first Akubra and I like it!

    bashing my new hat

    Hello folks, I have learned so much about hats and other things in the short time that I have been reading this forum. I finally went for an open crown hat, which I never would have considered before, an Akubra Campdraft Deluxe. After reading and watching the vids in the Monster Bash thread, I...

    Thank you very much, Ernest. That’s good to hear. That’s a great informative post (takes me back to the Germophobe thread!). Man, I’ve learned so much from this place. Thanks
