Josh, great work on that noble old lid. It looked like it was on its last gasp, but not any more!

Dinerman-- very cool hat.
Really nice acquisitions Raider, James, and Tenorclef (Cello, bassoon or bone?).
Josh-- bravo! That's an impressive revival.

Josh isn't amazing what some steam and a good brushing will do nice hat.

That was my thought as well.
Nice job on bringing the hat back to life, Josh.

Thank you everyone for the very kind words!! The ribbon has some pretty deep sweat stains, so I might replace that with a vintage black ribbon. The hat is in need of a sweatband replacement, but since the original Stetson sweat has already been replaced, I will have no problem having it replaced again. Maybe I might try replacing it myself. It has decent felt, so thats a start.

Giftmacher, Great to see a TONAK JHS. I got to visit the factory in the beginning of April which was very cool.

Josh, Nice recovery work with the old Stetson. I really like that ribbon width and block!

Bowlerman, Your custom FP looks fantastic!

Bowlerman, Nice hat! Is the ribbon bow on right side?

 

[Neophyte]

Egghead, the picture is of Bowlerman's reflection in a mirror. The bow is on the left side.

The Dobb is In; only disappointment was the color thought I was buying a grey hat but it that funky (tan-brown-green-grey) depending on light. The hats condition was a true surprise in really really good condition. has the "button" on the side of the band (does this tighten?)




Snatched this Dobb up. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...K:MEWAX:IT
Looks like a nice cleaning and I am good to go (hopefully)

What I found interesting besides the hat, is the history of "THE MAN STORE" OF ASHEVILLE,
In 1922, Coleman Zageir opened the Man Store, which sold men’s clothing from their Patton Avenue location for 40 years. Zageir was very popular with his customers as generations of Asheville men bought their suits from the Man Store. Zageir was very civically minded, giving anonymous college scholarships to needy students. When he died, the local newspaper and TV station praised Zageir in editorials. The University of North Carolina at Asheville honored Zageir by naming a campus building after him. http://toto.lib.unca.edu/web_exhibit...mily_store.htm

Patton Ave is where the store was located and it's store lot was 18-22, (22), between both lots 1922-1969 (which dates this hat a bit in my eyes)

the Poet quality is not worth the money. 177Euro. low quality sweat band, and it is sewd in crooked. just for a little stiffer kind of felt. its Cristys quality. And they cost 70 Euros. its going to be a everyday wearing hat. and not like the Campdraft i have that i want to take care of.

Thanks for that info. I've been eyeing a Poet for a week or two online, but seeing the comparison pic and reading your review confirms the FedIV as a better choice for me.
