Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Here's an odd one; an old bowler with back bow. I'm inclined to think the ribbon isn't original and it's not in very good shape but still interesting... -

Thanks guys. When I said excessive handling I was primarily meaning wearing the same hat for the whole winter. It's a very warm hat and fits quite well so given the current weather I'm rather enjoying wearing it, plus it's my only black fedora. Perhaps I'll give it a good brushing on a weekly... -

I've got a question; I recently got my first velour fedora and after thinking about it I started wondering: will the felt lose it's finish from excessive handling and, if so, would brushing the hat after wearing help this? - R -

I wonder, is it possible that the hat was made by HATCO and, who I'm guessing owned Knox by the late '50s when I think this was made, simply used this crest in the hats they produced as "store brand hats"? -

Hey guys, I recently bought a couple of vintage fedoras, one offline, and another in an antique store; they were sold at two different locations, Stix Baer & Fuller, and Kaufmann's in Pittsburg. While neither one has a manufacturer name, they both have the same crest in the crown of the liners... -

Post New Hats Here!
Very cool hat GoldenEraFan! I don't have a lot of experience in such matters but, it certainly looks 30's to me. Great hat either way! -
Post New Hats Here!
Thanks guys, I'm really happy about having gotten these, especially the Lee. It's nice to know what the colors mean as far as quality goes; anyone care to hazard a guess as to the age of the hat? - R -
Post New Hats Here!
Cont'd The other two hats I found were a 50's Stix Baer & Fuller with Cav edge, and a not-so-old Barlesoni with a bit of a pencil curl to the edge of the brim. Stix Baer & Fuller Barlesoni -

Post New Hats Here!
Yesterday was a crazy hat day; I decided to make the rounds of the various antique stores and wound up with three new hats! One is a dark brown Lee fedora, it has a very thin Cavanagh edge and the felt is very soft and floppy. It's got almost a velour like feel to it. The sweatband is made of... -
1930's Sheltonian Fedora 7 1/4
Yes, it's too bad the price will most likely go above what I'm willing to spend. I would love to have a vintage hat that was made here.- Roan

Dr. Seuss' HAT Collection...
Very interesting; I had no idea he collected hats. I'd love the opportunity to see them. -
My "fave" fedora flicks
Public Enemies with Johnny Depp (2009). Not the greatest hat film but, I love Depps oxblood colored fedora about a fourth of the way through the film.- Roan

Thanks Dane, that will come in handy for sure! :) It's not really in bad shape, it seems to just not have been stored very well, and there's a rather obvious stain on the center-top front portion of the pinch which, if I can clean up, will make the hat virtually immaculate. -

Thanks guys, I'll probably try the spot cleaning tonight and see if I end up with light spots. I suppose I'll just go for the full-on naptha bath if that's the case. I just figured I already have the lighter fluid so I can at least try that out first. I'm looking to clean what appears to be a... -

Hey, has anyone here tried using lighter fluid to spot clean a felt hat? If so, what were the results? Does it leave any residue? -
Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
Just stepped away to check; if my measurement is right it's 6in open. P.S. On the Stetsonian that is. -
Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
Sorry, sorry; I didn't think I was being rude. Just offering an explanation for why I had done it that way; though I suppose you can't ever tell how a person really means to say something over the internet. One of the downfalls to not being able to hear vocal inflections and such.. Thanks for... -
Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
Well, seeing as the brim was almost entirely flat, snapping the front down just looked stupid on me. The way I have it currently is the only way I could make it look halfways ok. The brim really needs a deeper flanging in my opinion but, since I don't own one I can't do that....
