    I'll second what Lucky said; I wish I could pull that type of look off! Casual, but with some flair. Looks great! :eusa_clap

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Greetings gents! Been a while since I posted. Everyone's been wearing some fine lids I must say! Here's a couple from me. Getting ready to go eat some bbq! These don't exactly fit into the thread, but I wanted to post them anyway. A couple friends and I on the way out to a swing...

    Had the day off today, and it's quite warm here; so I was sporting the 1930's Dobbs 20 I picked up a few months ago, as it's the most light-weight hat I own. :)

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Wearing the vintage Cavanagh I bought a few months ago to work today. Long, long night; glad it's over. Oh, well; at least I get to dress the part these days. ;)

    Best of Moderns that might compare to vintage

    The only two variables that matter to me are, Durability: how long it takes for the felt to develope holes, ect. and Denseness: how much water can the hat take before it starts losing shape. If the hat lasts a long time, and I can go out in the rain I'm happy.

    Hey fellas, just wearin' the old light grey beater that I made a few months ago. You'll have to excuse the rather bland expression, I just got off work and I'm dead tired.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Yeah, I just trimmed the brim and forgot to sand the edge afterward. :eusa_doh: Not that it matters all that much, I think I may see about just ripping the sweat and ribbon off it and use them on another one that I can actually work with. At least it was a valuable learning experience as...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Well, I've been wearing a hat I just finished that I've been working on for the past few days. The brim is a LOT shorter than I'd like, due to a previous blocking gone awry. If it weren't for that I think it would be one of my favorite hats. [huh] Open crown After creasing And...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Honestly I don't know much about them either. The felt is extremely soft, and I'm fairly sure it was made when mercury was still in use. The liner is not satin, it's a linen I believe, and has no plastic on the top. The sweatband is light brown, about 2in wide, is unreeded, and has the...

    Hey fellas, it's been a little while since I posted here. Just wearing my '30s Society Club today. I've got a few of old hats that don't fit, but I can't bring myself to rework them. I'd really like to be able to wear 'em though...[huh]

    Dating a Cavanagh hat

    When did the union disolve? Or has it? They don't put the labels on hats anymore so I just assumed it wasn't around.

    Just the beater Resistol again today. Good throw around hat; it's a little big and I've been meaning to reblock it. Maybe I'll get 'round to it one of these days...My friends all say the hat's too tall, but I like it. :)

    Cleaning a dirty old hat

    I got a really old, and REALLY grimey fedora off ebay this week. The felt, sweatband, and ribbon are still in decent shape, but the sweat is unreeded and I couldn't sew it back on if I remove it for cleaning. So I was curious if anyone knew of a way that I could get the majority of the dirt off...

    You people are NOT helping my addiction! You're only making it worse! :D Actually.......there's a couple of other old hats at the store that I really want to buy, both of them fit too. I don't remember the brand of the one, but the other's a brown Churchill beaver hat with the Cavanagh Edge...
