Help! Ineed to find a hat!
Rick I don't think Miller would be able to customize that hat to spec right now because of the state that biltmore is in. Rifle I think that you will be hard pressed to find a c-crown in stock somewhere with that small of a brim. The stetson downs is a 2 3/8 inch brim and comes in a... -

Hey fellow Big Guys (aka bucketheads)...
I know I could go a custom route I talked to art about it once. However 300 for a hat is not in the budget for me at the moment. I think I am going to take a borsalino and try to have it resized the right way. You guys will see me in a dress hat soon I hope. Jeremy Hats Plus Ltd. -

Hey fellow Big Guys (aka bucketheads)...
I just got a hair cut and my 8 1/8 cap from Ireland is giving me a headache. There is not much you can do short of being lucky and finding something or having something made. Hats are my buisness and I have not found a dress hat yet that really fits me. Jeremy Hats Plus Ltd. -

We barley have enough room for the stuff that we already have. If we had enough room it would be cool to start a little mini museum/educational corner though. Maybe one day. Jeremy -

Can you jack a Knox? (Hat Needs Stretching Please Advise)
If you have a good source of steam it will help the stretch. A steamer is obviously the best choice but if you don't have one the tea kettle would help some. When i stretch a hat I put steam directly on the hat where the brim meets the crown and rotate. Jeremy Hats Plus Ltd. -

Summer Hat
Good looking hat bud my brother wears one just like it in the summer. :offtopic: Biltmore at one time put a stretchy terry cloth sweat into some of their straws. I always thought that it would be very comfortable and would soak up some of that sweat. Alas once again they never fit me. :p...
