    Attention Denverites

    Just wanted to give a heads up. I was out and about today and stopped in to the Antique Exchange at Broadway and Florida. Judy has a good-condition Cavanaugh in a 7 3/8 Extra Long Oval for $42. It's not in excellant condition, a few stains on the ribbon, but it is in pretty decent shape. I'm...

    Hat-astrophe

    You know, the thing that really kills me is this is absolutely the finest, softest felt I have come across in my small collection of hats. I just don't know if I will ever be able to replicate it or find something as nice. Of all the damn hats to do this to! Argh!!!! JCBurns

    Denver hat shopping

    Fred, There is a place along the same street, Broadway, farther South than Flossie McGrews, just north of Hamden called Ted's Clothiers that carries Scala brand hats. They also claim to carry authentic Panama's from Equador. I can't vouch for them, but they did have a fairly decent...

    I've just recently booked my first ever cruise to the western Caribbean leaving from New Orleans in December. Any suggestions on what hat(s) to bring? I'm really curious if I'll even be able to wear one onboard...or will it simply fly off the ship?! Any suggestions? Lightweight Playboy or...

    So? Is it a sin...

    To be wearing a vintage Stetson in the rain? Now honestly, that's why I buy a hat...to keep the rain and snow and sun off my face. But will I be persecuted for getting a nice vintage hat wet? Your thoughts please..and quickly...it's raining here and I have to leave work soon! JCBurns
