Rust Removal
I tried searching but I'm not having luck. So if this question has already been answered, please just point me in the right direction. I want to know how to clean rust off a Stetson fur felt hat. I was shaping the back of the brim and placed a notebook on the rear of the brim to keep it flat... -
Graveside Service Etiquitte
Does anyone know what hat etiquette calls for when one is officiating at a graveside/committal service? And more specifically, is there a distinction between standing under the shade tent with the family and not being under the tent? I've never really given it much thought but I did a funeral... -
Too much damage?
I ordered a moonstone Fed IV from hatsdirect.com. It came today. I immediately saw the box had been crushed and re-covered with extra tape. I opened the box and sure enough, the hat was crushed on one side. I've added the pictures below but my question is, should I contact hatsdirect to send... -
Re-bash the Stylemaster?
I'm just curious, but has anyone ever re-bashed their Stylemaster? I have one and have thought about it. It's not considered an open crown hat, so would it really mess it up if I tried to reshape it? rrog -
Summer Hat In Winter?
I thought I'd ask this question before I hit the rack for the day. Does anyone here wear their summer hat (panama, straw, Sunbody, etc.) after summer is over? The reason I ask is because I've been weaing my two Sunbody hats all spring and summer. Since it was raining today, I broke out a fur... -

Stetson G-Day
Does anyone have the new Stetson G-Day fedora yet? I'd like to hear your thoughts on it. Good, bad, etc. I'm starting to shop around a little and it looks nice. I believe it's made from kangeroo fur. Thanks in advance, rrog -
Bad Exchange Rate
I haven't bought an Akubra in a while, so I was looking at HD's and EA's web sites for comparisons and pricing. Wow. The exchange rate that was once really favorable for the U.S. has taken a nose dive. I got my last Akubra in December '08, but if I recall the prices correctly, there's been... -
GG Campdraft or MS Fed?
I'm thinking of another order from Hatsdirect and I'd like opinions please. Which would offer more utility, the Glen Grey Campdraft or the Moonstone Fed IV? And by that, I mean, which color is more versatile and which hat is better suited across a broad range of dress styles (casual... -
What is it about the Campdraft?
It seems like the Campdraft is a favorite among the loungers here. The desire to have an Open Road is a given and the clamor over the Fed IV is obvious, but what is it about the Campdraft that makes it so popular? I'm asking a serious question. They're great looking hats (answered my own... -
How do you like your brim?
I've seen more than one post where people talk about the Akubras being "soft as butter" and many various descriptions of the brim stiffness (or lack thereof). Can anyone give me a general idea about which Akubra hats have stiff brims and which ones don't? I think I prefer a stiffer brim, but... -

Normal for AE?
I ordered a Stylemaster from EA early last week but never got a confirmation email from them. On Wednesday evening I sent them an email asking if they received my order. They replied on Friday and their reply was that they did indeed receive my order and that I should have received an email... -
Are Hats Your Main Interest?
From a hobby-related point of view (i.e. what you're into, what you spend your time on, where your money goes, etc.) are hats your main interests? Or do you see hats as simply something to wear and look good - and man, there are some really good looking hats out there. The reason I ask is... -
Carri Lite Felt
I've been wanting a beater hat for daily and/or work wear, so I bought a Carri Lite Felt hat from the Knox Farmer's Coop today in Knoxville, TN. Inside it says "Made in the USA*Packable*Water Repellent and underneath that it says "The Original." Has anyone ever heard of this particular brand... -
Rolled brim - what can be done?
I recently purchased a Stetson Royal Deluxe on eBay. It has what I believe to be a rolled brim. It's very stiff and in the rolled up position. I'd like to use this as a project hat and bash it and re-shape the brim as well. Can a rolled brim be unrolled or re-shaped or worked with with any... -
Stetson Fargo
Here is a picture of my birthday present. It's a Stetson Fargo. I got it back in January and have been wearing it ever since. I'm so used to it by now that I almost feel like I'm not fully dressed without it (kind of like a watch or wedding ring). I'll try to post some better pictures once I... -
