    USAF N-3B parkas - Let's talk about them!!

    I know, I know.... go big or go home... but!!! I know someone! here has tried and compared the "knockoff" versions of the N-3B. The most popular 2 "low-end" repros seem to be the Rothco, and the Mil-Tec Teesar one.... Did anyone, by any chance, compare the two side-by-side? I know that there...

    I need some HAT help!!!!

    This will be my first time using a sewing needle, hahaha! :p I'm a bit scared , even though this thing is this is some cheap "crushable" wool felt.... would you forsee the act of rolling and unrolling a tack stitched 2-ply band putting too much stress on it/deforming the band? or should i just...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    oh for sure I know it is a different style than the dune, I'd probably feel buyers remorse if I bought it and then you guys tell me it was not really worth it. I was sure I was gonna hold out for a Dune specifically, but this seemed like a decent price for a "true" fedora, and I felt the urge...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Guys.... is this a Temple? it's listed as a Whippet. Is the Sovereign made of 100% Beaver? I'm still unclear after reading the Sovereign thread on here where it ranks in terms of quality, vs Royal stetson... ect...

    source for this 2-ply grosgrain ribbon

    this seems like the perfect source! thanks for the tip I'm assuming I'll be fine with the cheaper, modern ribbon... what actually makes the vintage one "vintage"? The material? The photos I can see, without logging in, all look the same... final stupid question for me: I'm putting this on a...

    source for this 2-ply grosgrain ribbon

    Hi everyone, newbie here. I damaged a band on a hat I had, and wanted to replace it w one exactly like this picture. I'm told by someone who knows more than me that this is 2-ply grosgrain ribbon.. I know there are probably different grades... I found some on etsy, that aren't necessary for...

    I need some HAT help!!!!

    now you're just making me jealous :p that is a beautiful hat, just like what I'd be looking for / gonna try to make! (but w a downtuned brim) did the band come like that? and you reshaped the crown and trimmed the brim? and you did this with scissors?? that's great work

    I need some HAT help!!!!

    this sounds like a plan! shopping on eBay for a legit cowboy hat, with the intent to customize it myself sounds like a lot of fun. The first pic you uploaded looks like exactly the hat i'd want (but in black) I know myself lol.... my hats won't be seeing too much "wear and tear". and if i...

    I need some HAT help!!!!

    I'm only just beginning to grasp the differences between fedoras, westerns, crossovers, and the differences in felts. I had no idea the price difference for a beaver western vs a beaver fedora would be so huge. Where does "fedora" end and "western" begin? around the 3" brim mark? I don't know...

    Thank you!! The guy from the video answered me too, sorry I deleted it before I saw your reply yeah, you guys talked me out of that outback hat, and buffalo felt. it's crazy that the 2 ply band might cost more than the entire bozeman gonna cruise the bay again.... I hate it and love it...

    I need some HAT help!!!!

    I'm a 7 1/8 (this is my size in New Era fitted baseball caps :/ ) - I'm not sure how I feel about buying a used hat, though... It sucks they don't have the Dune in buffalo felt... That would be awesome! The stratoliner/campdraft have the ribbon thing I like, but the brim feels too short...

    I need some HAT help!!!!

    The Stetson Dune looks like it, minus the feather and the JBS logo!!! Thanks for the info It's a terrible shame for my wallet that they don't make the Stetson Dune in a cheaper buffalo felt version, I'd pay 100ish for it, but 235 would hurt me right now... I can get that Bozeman foldable jammy...
