    Lock & Co.

    I Need to Hello All... I need to post an addendum to my last post here. I may have misquoted someone at Lock & co. I have a sincere affection for their hats and I don't want to leave this topic this way. I said their Men's fur felt fedoras were being made by Isesa in Spain now. Well I'm not...

    Thanks for your response. I've always thought "ladies in fedoras" is a hot look. My wife can really smoke a fedora. And that Baby Blue Diamond Creased brim deserves some attention. I think what might attribute to the difference in sizing between your Bora's and mine could be, yours have a...

    I've been talking about a new lightweight borsalino with a fabric sweatband and no lining. Wife picked up on it and picked one up at a Dept.Store in Istanbul. She has a rule about not surprising me with a hat...but letting me pick out my own hat surprises...But this one reached out and convinced...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    I am not collector of Furfelt fedoras. But I do have a Borsalino short brim blue trilby from the early 60's, an Akubra Fedora from 6 years ago, and a Lock & Co Sandown Trilby from about 8 years ago. So I have held and shaped reasonably quality furfelt before. All my hats have very nice leather...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Christmas Hat! I know there's not much love for new Borsalinos out there these days. But it was a gift, and I am surprised at how nice a hat it actually is. Like @Daniele Tanto says, you really can't go by what it says on the inside...you have to hold it and look at it, and even wear it. I like...

    Thank You Daniele...That's a great answer. I'm finding my perspective is changing on this topic. I'm now living on the Mediterranean in Turkey, and while it's lovely here it does get warm enough and for a long enough season...That I have found myself drawn to fabric sweats and Panama hats for a...

    Hi Daniele, What are your thoughts on beauties such as this that have the fabric sweats? Was it to make the hat lighter or a cost saving measure? What criteria do you use use when judging Sweatband materials?

    Thanks Tukwila. I tried the warm iron, with steam, and she's wrinkle free. I'll try to include the pics from the website. I've just relocated back to Turkey from your neck of the woods. So I haven't got my new Turkish phone set up to size photos, so no head shots yet. There's also the Websites...

    Hey Guys, I recently ordered a Beige100% cotton Doria Drivers Cap, for the warm Summers here in South Side Türkiye on the Mediterranean, from a high end online clothing shop here. What arrived was a beige 100% cashmere Doria Drivers Cap. It was the right size and looks like a work of Art. But...

    Looking for a hat that wears this nice

    I have a Sydney aswell...Great looking hat with alot of character. Another option, of course, is finding a good, old Borsalino...Great hats, and you can find really nice vintage Borsas at great prices.

    Is it safe to wear my hat in the rain? Is it up quality/waterproofness?
