    FS: Henry the Hatter Stetson - The Sovereign 7 5/8 - 7 3/4

    This is a Stetson Sovereign Quality in Charcoal Grey. The hat is in mint condition as I have rarely, if ever worn it. It is slightly big for my noggin. The tag reads 7 3/4 (62) but in my opinion is is a slightly snug 62. It has a thick and soft felt, with no blemishes whatsoever. The...

    Then vs. Now....

    I have what I think to be a good conversation question....forgive me if this has been conversed already... Is the primary reason for the initial distaste for new production hats because of a noticeable quality difference from back in the day?? I will try to be brief with my analysis, but...

    Help with brim finishing on my first "Art"work..

    I just began my process with Art and having only two fur fedoras to my name at the moment, want some input as to the different brim finishes. Are they strictly cosmetic, or do they provide certain functionality or structure support? I don't like the ribbon bound edges at all. The appearance...

    Shelf Purchase or Custom?

    I love reading all the posts about everybodies hats and being new to the fedora world...thought it would be interesting to get some feedback about this topic. Excluding emotional response and sticking to, at a minimum, semi-factual information, what are the primary differences of purchasing a...

    Installing or Removing a Hat Liner

    I have what may be a basic hat question. What is the value of the hat liner, beyond protecting the inside surface of the felt. Is there any structural or value add with the liner? I have a lid with a shorter crown than I like and I can feel my hair on the inside of the felt. I use a light...

    Stetson Opinions...

    I can spend hours filtering through threads for opinions, but the fact that some of these threads are so large, it is probably easier just to put a new pol out there....it's a lot easier to follow my own thread. Call me lazy. :) I am curious to what the common opinion is to current Stetson...

    Another Newbie Question About Brims...

    Can someone(s) educate me on the difference/purpose of a welted (both over and under) brim, a sewn brim, and a raw brim?? It seems to me that a majority of hats have the welted brim, but personally it make the hat look like a "costume hat." Please take no offense to that comment as having...

    Discouraged in Dallas

    Everything is bigger in Big D except the selection of fine fedora shops!! I am a newbie to the Fedora scene. I have always loved the classic look of a Fedora with a suit. Call me old fashioned, but I love classic style. Since there are no shops in my area to peruse quality fedora styles...
