Wrapping them in plastic would to the trick I guess :) Thanks for the help ;)

Makeup is like clothing, put some time and effort into it, and everyone can look good :D

There are no such thing as ugly girls, just lazy ones.

I'm going to live in the states next year, and I have about 20 hats that needs to be stacked away somehow. I haven't got any hat boxes, and I need an advice on how to best store them for a year without use? Is there any sort of plastic or something that they should be wrapped in? :eusa_doh...

Only way to make something new look real classy is to put it in a golden era environment. Sure works, though :p

Between which years is that period of 50 years? My thoughts when I saw it at first was 40's, but what you mean is that it might be both older and newer, because Europe didn't have distinct eras of style?

Here is a picture of the lining And here is one of the back The buttons seems to be made of some sort of plastic.

I found this Overcoat at a thrift shop today. I'm curious if any of you have a clue on the age? It doesn't have any labels in it at all [huh] Thank you ;)

This is my first show off post at the Fedora Lounge:p I've been a member of the Fedora Lounge for a while, and asked some questions, but now I will post some pics of a hat i bought today for 3$.

It's sad to have a large head. Guess the top hat will be a part of my inventory.

I have inherited an old top hat, and it is a bit too small. Is there any way you can stretch or widen a top hat? Probably there is not, but i had to ask![huh]

I see. But can I make a template of my head size in wood (just a bit smaller for the first stretch) and the steam the hat and pull it over the template for drying, and after that pull it over a slightly larger template for the last stretch?
