    Tips on Dry Cleaning my Linen Hanna Cap

    Howdy all, I have a Linen Hanna Cap in Natural color (a very light Khaki). It's a great hat but it's starting to show some wear (presumably from sweat and the oils in my hands from when I take it on and off). The label says Dry Clean but I'm VERY reluctant to just drop it off at my local Dry...

    Another "Help me shape my Fed 4" Thread :-O

    Here's my problem: I followed all of the steps the "Teardrop Workshop" thread. Over all, the hat came out OK except the very tip of the pinch sticks out way to far. When I turn slightly to the side it looks like the pinch is leaning forward. The front has no smooth "fade". What am I doing...

    Driving hat?

    Howdy all, I'm in the market for a good driving hat. Something with a brim in the front but none in back (to conflict with the headrest). A newsboy style, I guess. I don't see one by Akubra. What makers / models should I be looking at? Thanks! :cool2:

    Any links to makers of solid wood hat stands?

    OK, one more question before I return to lurking ;) I scoured the net for a decent hat stand (the type that is free standing and could be kept by the front door). Everything I see is pressed wood and / or uses metal hooks. Does anyone have any links to any makers of solid wood hat stands...

    Head geometry and its relationship to gravity and haberdasheries

    This year I started wearing proper sized hats instead of caps. I have noticed that, without any help from me, all of my hats seem to gradually tilt to the left just enough to touch the tip of my ear. Yes, I checked to make sure that my left ear wasn't disproportionately large ;) Yes the hats are...

    Howdy all, There are some very nice Panamas at the higher price points. My question is about comparing the quality of the lower priced Panamas against the lower priced Milans ($100 and under). Dollar for dollar is there a clear winner? I ask because last week I picked up a Dobbs Bellagio...

    Reshaping question

    Howdy all, To make a long story short, I some how managed to get a small stain on my Fed IV. I took it to a local hat shop for them to get it out. I had to drop the hat off since they were busy. They took care of the stain and they reshaped the hat a little and stiffened it in place :eek: I...

    Weight loss / gain and hat size

    Howdy, Is there a magic formula that shows a relationship between hat size and weight loss / gain? For example, if you lose / gain X amount of weight, then you increase / decrease one hat size. [huh] I ask because I'm taking off a few (read many) pounds and I'm wondering what effect it...
