    Hasidic Jewish hats

    I'm 100% for real, yes. I'm also being tongue-in-cheek with the "Are you Jewish" question since I'm 100% Jewish...and obviously so. That long-haired hat is available through Belmonti Hatters. I'm also a fan of Primo's on Kingston Ave, although they go more for the black fedora.

    Hasidic Jewish hats

    Wow. My little thread is still going! Who woulda thought! In the meantime, I get the "Are you Jewish" question even without a black fedora on...I wonder why...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Hey, all, I know I'm not around much anymore. I recently had a brainwave--and maybe you've already thought of this--but I thought I would share. I was driving in Philly when I noticed a fur shop, and I asked if they clean men's fur felt hats. Not only do they clean 'em, they even have hat blocks...

    Okay, Okay, how's $1000 or a Straumann dental implant for a Knox One Hundred? [emoji2]

    You mean a pristine 7 1/4 Knox 100 like the one I own? You can find more pictures from when I bought it from Alan, I'm sure. I'm not sure I'm ready to part with this beauty yet!

    Fedora sell off! How about a pre-war Borsalino? And more!

    Have a look at these images, and you can see that it's just the way the bow has folded and creased over time.

    Fedora sell off! How about a pre-war Borsalino? And more!

    It's a ragged-edged bow--on purpose. There's a term for it that's escaping me here, but it was made to be rough along the edge like that. The bow is in fine shape otherwise. Best, A

    Fedora sell off! How about a pre-war Borsalino? And more!

    It's a tear, I'm afraid; when I picked up the hat a few years ago, I went to turn the sweatband out, gently, to see the labels underneath, and that's when the band tore. There's no other deterioration in the leather, though. Cheers, A

    Fedora sell off! How about a pre-war Borsalino? And more!

    Hi all, I've been absent a while, and while the hat collection has grown and ebbed over the years, it's time to part with a few of my collected hats, ranging in sizes from a larger 7 1/8 up to some 7 1/2s. I'm linking two below, and you can view the rest via my eBay pages. Images are with the...

    Cool old TV hat sightings

    The first season, especially, is great for 50s fashion-watching. Lots of great hats, suits, office material. 10/10, would watch again!

    Black Sheep Hat Works

    I wanted to give a shout-out to Bob for some masterful refurb work. I picked up this 30s Stetson Feather Weight Nutria Quality Stetsonian some time ago, despite the fact that the unreeded sweatband desperately needed to be resown. I wore it nonetheless, until the day that the final thread gave...
