Hat Photography with the iPhone
I've been a Mac devotee since the 1980s, but it took me a long time to switch from a Blackberry to an iPhone. There are some things the iPhone does incredibly well - one of them is photography. As long as you have adequate light for the tiny lens, you will be amazed at the sharpness and color... -

Lot numbers were stamped on the back of many Stetson sweatbands through about 1940. Are they strictly sweatband lot numbers? I don't know, but they do appear to run chronologically. Here are a few of mine, from smallest number to largest. Let's see yours! Stetson Star with Fray sweat/ Lot... -
SOLD** Borsalino di Spallotta
This Borsalino from Spallotta in Rome has been a favorite of mine. The form is classic and beautiful - the felt has a soft, finely finished hand. It is a lightweight hat at 3 ounces, but has enough body to hold its crease as you take it off and put it on. The outside of the hat is in super...- alanfgag

This is a wonderful hat that I don't wear often enough. Made in England for Brooks Brothers, the construction is exceptional. Felt is firm and dense.

Show Us Your Moth Nips
Nobody wants 'em but everybody's got 'em. Are they the ultimate hat horror, or a badge of courage worn by felt that has survived and lived to tell the story. Perhaps posting images will help us to cope with the disappointment of buying a hat and discovering it is less than perfect. Maybe a... -

A cousin to Feltfan's fantastic 5X dated 1942, I think this is perhaps a little earlier - late 1930s to 1940. I've taken quite a few photos - I hope you enjoy them. The hat came to me from Zetwal with a tight telescoped crown. I thought I would open it up and apply a different crease. The... -
Tackling the block... and flange
My recently purchased Borsalino pocket hat arrive with a generous amount of lumps and bumps from almost 60 years in a box. Normally I use the Garvé hat stretcher to steam, block and size my hats. This particular hat is very soft and light. Any ridge on the inside of the hat will telescope...
