Okay flanges are?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

a flange is an apparatus that shapes the brim of a hat
also the shape of a brim or the brims scoop if you will is also often called the brims "flange"

NOT to be confused or interchanged for a closet flange...

Hold the hat from the back and apply the steam to the outside front area. Some guys just run their hats under the shower. I use distilled or filtered water and boil the water on the stove top.... place a lid over 2/3 of the pot and then hang the hat over the steam. Works like a charm.

One of the UK's greatest inventions and contribution to hat wearers was the electric kettle. A little clean water and just keep flicking the switch for as much steam as you need.

How do I change asking price? How do I move my classified to a thread?

Probably your best bet is to jsut start a new thread in the Classifieds and then provide a link to in your old thread. You can also edit your original post by clicking the "edit" button on the bottom left of the post.

your classified (the borsalino homburg) is a thread. Just post in the thread the new price.

Dear friends,
I'm new here & not very tech savvy, I hardly know how to use a forum or this text box! Please forgive my ignorance. I've been collecting fedoras for a while; have a Stetson Whippet, An Adam's Stetson Replica, a beautiful Vintage "Banby" that is unreal, a Borsalino Alessandria in Brown, A vintage Stetson Deluxe Open Road in Brown & several others. However I recently managed to acquire on eBay, a Stetson Stratoliner... at the following link:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vtg-Mens-...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Please advise! Is it legit, does it look like it's in decent condition, I can't quite tell if the felt looks really good, if I'm falling for illusion of my laptop screen, & lastly what exactly colour it is? I'm hoping its silver belly-esque, rather than a gold/brown tan type hue. Your time n help is appreciated man!

Someone help this gentleman out please.

 

[moontheloon]

it's a fine hat
has some staining and slight sweatband issues but a fine hat none the less
felt looks like a light tan on my screen
the hat is probably mid 50s
when it arrives post some photos of any labels under the sweatband and we can give some further information

I've been looking at a few threads before I registered getting information, and I appreciate those who are knowledgeable and providing their input. I've been wearing a baseball hat for years (classy, I know), but decided I'd like to have something nicer. I'm a pharmacist and I work at a hospital with a business casual dress code and would like something nicer than a baseball hat. Plus, the occasional time I do dress up in a suit, I miss wearing my hat. I thought for my first hat, since it's summer, I'd look into getting a Panama hat in a fedora. I didn't know if anybody has had any experience with DelMonico. I was looking at https://www.delmonicohatter.com/Panama-Hats/Bahia44E.htm and wanted everybody's thoughts. It's made by Tesi for DelMonico. I don't mind paying for a quality hat, but since this would be my first, I didn't want to put down that kind of money and get a poor quality hat that's not worth the money. Or, if anybody has any other ideas, I appreciate the input! Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi. Welcome. Tesi is a quality hat. Tesi made and branded for Delmonico represent good value. Delmonico is a reputable Hat shop. My favorite Tesi branded for Delmonico. Extra Fino Cuenca.

Just thought, I've bought a new felt hat but the courier is expected to deliver almost a week from last Saturday. All in Los Angeles area not sure why it'll take that long. But weather is in 90s low. Would keeping a felt hat in back of a truck in higher temp make slight shrinkage to the hat?
