    Cleaning/restoring shearling coat

    I happened to have found 3 shearling coats in my garage that my late in-laws have purchased about 40 years ago in Argentina. They have varying degrees of *damage*, but the coats are made well and it would be a shame to throw them out. One coat (worst case) has mold on the outside (non-shearling...

    Snipe programs and their use

    I wondered about these snipe programs and why would someone use them. Typically, when I bid I set the maximum of what I am willing to pay and that's it. If I lose, I lose. Why do you use them?

    Something terrible happened the other day...

    I decided to cut my beautiful long hair :eusa_doh: It was about foot long and I wore it in a pony tail Now it's close to a crew cut and my hats are a size too big. Most were already stuffed with some paper towels, stuffing more paper is problematic. Now this problem will get resolved...

    Hat subject one liners using movie titles

    I thought I'd have fun and start a thread creating a catchy sentence about hats using a moving title or famous quote from a movie. For example: When I had "A Fistful of Dollars" I bought a bowler. Then "For a Few Dollars More" I ordered a custom hat. :) :)

    The flying hat

    While I like brims that are 2.75" or more, it makes hats more aerodynamic. Here in San Francisco it can get windy often, 20-30 mph gusts and my hat becomes a UFO. Upturned brims help a lot in the wind, which often blows from under you or from behind, so a bucket design or outback (one in my...

    My wife thinks I am crazy

    I have a very good wife (disclaimer!) - The other day she said "You just bought 2 hats, another one is on order, why are you looking at more hats??". :D:D

    Penman hats

    I am interested in Penman hats. Some members of this forum own some. While search revealed a some pictures, they were not the ones I was looking for. I am curious about beaver version of "the penman", does anyone have a picture of it on their head? Impressions? Thanks!

    Akubra Leisure Time vs Stetson Weekender

    These two hats seem similar visually, except that LT's brim is 1/4" wider and pure fur felt, whereas Wr is a mix wool/fur and has 2 1/2" brim. Does anyone have any hands on (heads on) experience with them both?

    Three Stooges and hats

    I was browsing through some Three Stooges episodes on Hulu the other night and noticed that most men there wear all sorts of nice hats. Women were also dressed well!

    Lanolux anyone?

    Hi All, my first post here... :) I am thinking about buying a Lanolux Fedora by Bailey's, has anyone had any experience with it? How well does it hold up in the rain? (Looking for Fall/Winter hat in San Francisco area) Is there a better choice in wool for about the same price? (I don't...
