How bad is antelope jackrabbit felt in rain? More like wool or like rabbit or hare?

An antelope jackrabbit is a hare.

Whatever you say.

An antelope jackrabbit is a hare.

I assumed something like this, but also the fact that it was specified made me think that there's some difference I should know about.

With the size of those suckers, I wonder how many hats one would make.

I figure they're called that because of their long legs.

Isn't it a Jackalope?

Ahh, sometimes there are gaps in the Lounge feed and I don't get the entire thread. It shows up as a brand new thread. My sincerest apologies!

But...ummm...the word "rabbit" is in the name you used--"jackrabbit". So wouldn't it...oh, never mind; I'm fine with it either way.

HAHAHA!!

Now you're just "splitting hares."

"Split a hare!" (laughs maniacally)

I'm sure you read that in her voice, too.

Of course I did. I'm not crazy.

Does anyone here have any experience with/opinions on modern Italian wool felt? Or experience/opinions on a brand called simply "Classic Italy" (according to the website, that is)? I should probably have asked this a week ago 'cause I already have a hat on the way, but my experience with wool felt has been limited to very cheap costume hats that were probably produced by the thousands and always shrunk to the point of being unwearable after only two or three years. I'm hoping this one will last at least a little longer than that, but I didn't pay much for it so...

 

[Zombie_61]

Not sure if this the right thread (apologies if it isn't).

Does anyone know what hat this is? Either who makes it or the specific brand name.

This one isn't exact, but similar if you were to "snap" the front of the brim down. Maybe if you search for this style you'll find what you're looking for.

Hello - first time poster! I have acquired a Dobbs of 5th Avenue Fedora. The hat band is finished at the rear rather than at the side as I am used to seeing. Any ideas on date?

Welcome!
Back Bows had a couple of times when they were in vogue. Along with the proportions, I’d say yours is late 1950s. It’s helpful to see the interior too with the markings on the sweatband, the liner, size tags (if still there), and the factory tags under the sweatband. The more we have to go on the better.

From what I have learnt about stamps and labels that fits. Was hoping it was more late 40s
