Help choosing between: Stetson Retro straw vs Ultrafino Bogart vs Stetson Forty Eight
So I’m looking for my first Summer straw hat and I’ve about narrowed it down to a Stetson Retro straw vs Stetson Forty Eight vs Ultrafino Bogart. I prefer higher crowns and less taper but can’t afford a custom or high-end Monticristi so looking at these. I’ve heard that synthetic straw is... -

Panama Hat Thread
Please help! I’m looking for my first Summer hat and was looking to learn about Panamas. I have a couple Akubras and one Stetson felt hats that I wear regularly but Georgia summers are too hot for those! Is there anywhere to get a minimally-tapered Fedora-style Panama reasonably priced (under... -

Summer Hat Suggestions?
So it’s Summer and too hot for my beloved Akubra Camp Drafts. Now I need a Summer straw hat and would like suggestions. Would like a fedora-style hat, preferably with a snap brim that I could snap up in back and down in front. Would like a decently wide brim for sun blocking and prefer straight... -

New VS Vintage Stetson Hats
So I was thinking I needed a new hat (yeah, right) and just stumbled across the Stetson New York model. How does this hat stack up against other modern hats? My main hats are Akubra CampDrafts and I have one Stetson Nostalgia. The CampDrafts are much nicer hats than that particular Stetson. I... -

Stetson Temple Reblock
Congrats on the improvement on the reblocking! It made a huge difference. I have kicked around the idea of reblocking a hat myself. I do have a couple of questions if you don't mind. First, how did you make your foam hat block? Second, how did you get the brim break back on your hat using an... -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Bowlerman, great pics of a nice night! Really dig the black cherry color! Alucard73, great to see people in the judicial system have such great taste! I'd hate to be a crook and see a guy with an imposing hat like that come in to court trying to convict me. Might as well make reservations for... -

The Most "Vintage" US City
I'm going to nominate downtown Kansas City, MO. I've spent some time there on two business trips and thoroughly enjoyed walking around downtown just taking in all the cool old hotels still in business. I had the pleasure to stay in the old Muehlebach Hotel which is now operated as part of the...- dawgvet

What Hatco COULD produce with modern materials and different blocks
Josh, really like what you did with reblocking of this modern hat! It is impressive the difference it makes. I have a hat that I would like to have reblocked to a different crown shape. Any chance you could be talked into doing this? Thanks Jed -

Reblocking hat to get flatter crown?
RBH, Thanks for the info. BTW, I am thinking about a panama straw hat soon and was wondering if you knew anything about the one the gentleman in your avatar was wearing. Really like the tall, straight sides and ribbon width. Thanks, Jed -

Suggest first Panama
Been thinking of finding a Panama fedora and was wondering what you all might suggest. I tend to like tall, straight crowns with a teardrop or center dent bash. Brims usually 2.5 to 2.75 inches. As this will be my first Panama, was looking to keep budget fairly modest to start with (<$100)... -

Reblocking hat to get flatter crown?
Josh and RBH, thanks for the replies. Josh's post sums up my concerns. RBH, who did you get to do your brim trimming and how much did they trim? I have more than one Camp Draft and I've kicked around idea of a trim and a bit wider ribbon. Thanks Jed -

Reblocking hat to get flatter crown?
I was wondering if anyone has had a hat reblocked to get some of the "dome" out of the crown? I have an Akubra CampDraft that I've always wanted to put a classic center crease with front pinch bash in but the rounded dome of the crown allows the dent to touch the top of my head and won't let... -

Akubra Campdraft
Hey, DJH, any chance you could post some pics of the center dent on your CD? Ive been thinking of trying it with one of mine but want to see how it may look. I've messed around trying it before but the dent would always rest touching my head. Does yours do this? Thanks Jedidiah -
