    NEWS BOY CAPS

    Actually went through the whole thread without spotting any B! Wear full cuts. Found a lot of pictures of other nice caps, though, so it was quite nice browsing through the thread. Bookmarked some of them for future reference :)

    NEWS BOY CAPS

    Has anyone got the B! Wear fuller cap? I'm tempted to get one, but would be nice to see one worn by a real person.

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    Argentina: Bombin It's used in many other South American countries as well, as Bolivia and Peru. But the name is mostly referring to the type of bowler the women in those parts wear, I guess, though regular bowlers is also called bombin.

    Tried getting a hat brush from a local hat shop, but they didn't have any left, and didn't know if they would be getting new ones. So I guess I shouldn't rely on them when it comes to hat brushes. Any recommandations for a good brush? Aaron's was sold out, I noticed.

    I see, guessed it was something like that, but had to make sure. Thanks!

    Hm, why two brushes? What's the difference in use?

    Grey bowler hat

    @scottyrocks: Thank you! Are this tips for what I should ask the seller about before I buy one, or what did you mean? Hm, any tips for how to measure head length? I'm a long oval, pretty sure about that. I'm a 58 fedora size (at least that's what the perfectly fitting fedora with no size...

    Grey bowler hat

    Hey, where did you learn that?:) Just got a mail from the Hat Guys, explaining that Borsalinos run small. He probably just mixed up and meant Lagomarsino, since that's what my hat is. So that probably explains why I measured it to 58, and it gave me a red mark on my forehead. Just thought I'd...

    Grey bowler hat

    Thank you for your kind comments :) Makes me feel even more happy about it! I'll try to get some better pictures when I can, but I'm currently camera-less. Maybe I should have used my money on a camera instead? Just kidding, of course ;) I'll certainly do my part in celebrating the...

    Grey bowler hat

    It's weird. After the first quick replies she suddenly just stopped answering, and I haven't heard from her since then, even if I've sent a couple more mails after that too. Well, I went for that Lagomarsino I linked to earlier in this thread. Got it in the mail on Friday (just in time to use...

    Grey bowler hat

    Wow, actually got an answer. She said it would be easier if she got hold of a grey bowler for me. Hope she manages to find something good.

    Grey bowler hat

    Hm, that Homburg idea wasn't bad. I'll try to find out the possibilities for reblocking my hat, though I don't think it's easy to find someone who can do it here in Norway. Through google I found a woman who makes hats, I'll send her a mail to find out if she is capable of doing it.If not, I...

    Grey bowler hat

    Thanks :) That was almost the first thing I learnt when I started browsing this forum, that fur felt was the thing to go for (found out just before paying for a wool fur I had been looking at) :) Good threads. Especially liked this one: Would have loved getting that hat on some point...

    Grey bowler hat

    Thanks for the welcome and the advice :) What kind of hat have you got in your avatar? It looked good! Too bad about the difficulty in getting a gray vintage one, but I'm saving a couple of search strings on ebay nontheless. I might get lucky one day. I found out the "unnamed" brand on one of...

    Grey bowler hat

    Hi! This is my first post here, have been looking around on this forum the last couple of days, looking for info, and I felt this was the right place to ask. I have for a long time felt that the bowler hat was "my" hat type, I really like how they look on me. But haven't got around to getting...
