The hat is inexpensive but it is the Leiderhosen that you need to wear with it that costs the big bucks.

It sounds like one of those hats you'll regret more not buying than actually buying, so buy it, Brent
Needless to say, Mark's advice is good.
I’m not sure anyone here has ever told me to not buy a hat
I keep looking at it, but when dressed to the nines I think I’d be fastidious about all the details being perfect. And then there’s the fact that I don’t own a tailcoat. Hmmm

You're a big guy. The hat adds even more height. Nobody will see it unless you go to an NBA game.

They don't list them on their site and I do not think so......only finished hats. Agnoulito (Etsy) doesn't list them but he did have some beaver at one point but they were on the small side and not large enough to make a fedora to my dimensions. The only source for FEPSA beaver is from Tim @purebeaver...Instagram. He still has a decent selection of sizes and colours.
You don't need a tail coat to wear a top hat, Brent. Nor do you necessarily need to be dressed to the nines.
However, if that's what you want a top hat for, I understand your holding back on that one.

I hear you. My black Homburgs were originally purchased with the thought of pairing them with my dinner suit, but that hasn’t often been the case. Maybe I should hold out for a grey topper in case I get that invite to the Royal Ascot?

...or maybe a grey bowler for the more casual look.

Ahhh, there was a brouhaha where some men were forced to leave for not wearing socks. It’s not an occasion for individualism. As the Rush lyric says: conform or be cast out.

Never figured I'd see Rush being referred to on here, but I like it!

The Maples scream "oppression"
and the Oaks just shake their heads!
Guess I'll just have to be satisfied going to the horse races wearing a fedora!

The American horse racing traditions are...er...different from our more staid British cousins. Beer hat, anyone?

You may be able to buy Fepsa rabbit felts from D'Aquino....send her an email. But I am a big fan of Tonak rabbit....they are wonderful rabbit felts, great quality, easy to work with. The best pricing is from Agnoulito but also close in price is GuyMorseBrown out of the UK although a much smaller colour choice.

An old question that I don't think received an answer. Today I had the same question after reviewing a hat posting on Facebook. The only reference I can find to the store (clearly a reference to John Batterson Stetson, but by whom?) is from a 1956 New Yorker magazine quote. I'm a subscriber but have not been successful logging in to the digital archives for a closer look. Anyone have thoughts or more information?
