Usually I plague hat makers with requests for ever wider hatbands, but I did not even have to ask Thomas Farthing for a wider hatband for this beauty, a high crown fedora sold by them but made in Spain...

I have been interested in Thomas Farthing hats for a while. But have had a tough time finding any reviews How do you find the quality of the felt? Is the hat true to size?
Cheers!

I second this question in terms of felt quality and how it holds up over time. I like the look of their hats online but when I went in to the store the feel had me second guessing things and I’m trying to find some solid time lapse reviews

Mallory Dallas that I rescued and restored some time ago. It was hot glued and crumpled up when I got it.

Before. Somebody had put hot glue all over the thin ribbon. Wasn't much fun getting that stuff off.

After: Reblocked, creased, and reflanged. I reused everything original to the hat. The ribbon is still showing where the hot glue used to be.

Wonderful restoration. As mucked up as it was… you could definitely see the “good bones”
