    Do coat rack hat hooks ruin hats?

    Hi, I was at my local hat shop and I was told not to place my fur felt hats on a coat rack because it will ruin the shape of the hat. Is this true? The coat rack that i have has hat hooks that are somewhat rounded at the point of contact with the hat, and doesn't put a sharp tension on the...

    Tilley Fedora

    I got the Tilley Fedora in today... and I like it. It has a nice fit and feels nice on my head. The secret pocket is kinda flimsy, I wouldn't put anything more than some dollar bills in it, and the ear warmers are quite nice. I will have to see how it works in the winter. I will put up some...

    My Borsalino Como

    Hm... does the como tend to shrink over time of using it? If anything the hat is a bit too big... it doesn't touch my ears but sometimes it can come close. I originally bought it to dance in, but it is way too nice to treat it that way, so now i will just use it when i get dressed up. I...

    Tilley Fedora

    The Tilley Fedora is now out... are any of you guys going to purchase it? I have never dealt with Tilley, but they have a great reputation for backing their product. I am thinking of getting one just because of that... and I would like a hat I can wear every day. What do you all think? Aaron

    Chatham by Stetson

    I was also looking at the Anello which is featured on bencraft. It looks like a nice hat... smaller brim and kinda what i am going for even though it doesn't have the tear drop. Anyone have any experience with this particular hat?

    Getting the hat to "look right"

    Hi guys, Another new guy question for you all. I recently bought a fedora which i love to death... and it already has a steamed center crease and front pinch. The thing is, the front pinch is a little high on the crown. Am i supposed to be creasing the hat myself to make it look right...

    Chatham by Stetson

    Why is the chatham from fedora store, and the one from bencraft different in terms of the brim? I did see that steven said it was custom ordered... haha, could that be the reason why? I was under the impression that if it is named a certain style it just all comes like that. I am 5 10, and of...

    Hats and Dance

    Hey guys, I recently mentioned that I got into the hat world secondary to my dancing. I was wondering if anyone else uses their hat for this purpose. It is interesting, because at first I used it just to suppliment my dancing and now i find that I wear my hats all the time now to go to work...

    Puerto Fino Hats

    Yeah... i am happy with the hat. I just had it shaped recently at my local hat shop and it has worked for me very nicely. I do have two little stains on it... and i have no idea where they came from. Hopefully i can get them out, but they look like grease stains? Anyhow, if anyone wants to...

    Puerto Fino Hats

    Hi guys, What do you all know about this particular hat brand? I purchased a fedora by this company, but i was only able to find scarce information on it. Bencraft Hats and Levine hats are the only places i could find that carry it and i could find nothing else on the company. Do any of you...

    A question about sizing and looks

    Final picture Hey guys, i tried to give it more "snap". Maybe this looks better.... maybe it is just me but I still find it odd looking. I used this site (http://www.felthats.com/hats_info/style.html) to try to guage things... i think my face is the Prominent Jaw type.... Eh... do you think...

    A question about sizing and looks

    What does it mean to add more "snap"? Also, how do i know if the circumfrance is too much for me? I am still wondering if the circumference is too great for me head... Also, does borsalino have different sub brands of their hats? Like, is Trionfo a certain brand of borsalino hat?
