Looking for some glasses that are like an old fashioned glass with straight sides but will have a raised area about 3/4 way up the glass, presumably to help keep the glass from slipping in ones hand. These were commonly used as water glasses in restaurants, cafes and diners back in the day...
I just finished season 5 of Downton Abbey and the fedoras being worn were totally misshapen, especially the brims. Totally out of character with the emphasis put on the clothing! Only one character wore a decent brown fedora that looked very close to the Indy hat in the crown but the brim was...
I just ordered a BG 57 and am looking forward to it. I would really, really, really like to have this same hat/brim width in a gray like Moonstone or Glen Gray. Trying to find an Open Road or clone in a real gray, not silverbelly, is virtually impossible. Is there any interest in a gray color...
Here's a new-to-me Straoliner in a light gray. 5-1/2" crown and 2-1/2" brim. No mothing or stains and appears to have been worn very little. I'm mulling over what bash to use.
Resistol Monarch
Well, here's an obscure resistol...the MONARCH. Nice condition and a charcoal gray color. I wear this hat a lot, so much so that sweat has soaked through and darkened the crown ribbon.
My wife works at Disneyland Resort and she says that there will be a fedora store in the art deco area of Calfornia Adventure. She will keep on the lookout for the store and when it is opening and I will let everyone know. I will definitely have to check it out.
I'm waiting on a bone rabbit fur Open Road in a tall crown. I'm two weeks short of a six month wait but I'm sure it will be worth it. I'm looking at a silverbelly OR next.
Some sellers do a better packaging job than others. I arrived home to find this on my porch in the rain. So the post office deserves some kudos as well.
Yes it fits comfortably although it is a bit on the heavy side. I sprayed it down with some denatured alcohol and it became a little less stiff. I'm working on a brown hat band for it and will probably get it on this weekend. the brim is only 2-1/4" but looks larger due to the light color. It...
Resistol conversion
This is a 3X that I picked up off the bay. It is actually an ivory color although it looks white. The 2" wide band is charcoal but I'm thinking of changing it to a 2" wide dark brown band with a little more style than the current one. It's a very stiff felt and the open...
After doing an exhaustive search I still can't find the post that showed how to make a pugaree with hooks. I had the link saved on my old computer but it crashed. Can someone post the link so I can sleep tonight??
Thanks much!
