Prefer fur felt, black ribbon, but not a deal-breaker. Budget: would like to see what I can get for < $100. Feel free to contact me @ timeras@gmail.com. Thanks

Hi there, I'm also looking for a fur felt grey fedora, however I'd rather have a wider, unbound brim, size 7 3/8-1/4. My budget is negotiable, but if I could stay under a $100, that would be nice. Appreciate any info/looks.

Hey, I'll be there!! In a heartbeat! Count me in...

Those are all awesome! Thanks for posting!

Well, I was in the store not two weeks past, and have some first hand info... After having my second-hand fedora reblocked and brushed (for Free, no less!) I mentioned my dismay at having heard such a dastardly rumor- this being my first visit and all. Now, I can't put names to the family...

That is a sweet blue... what are the dimensions? Love your sig as well; "My Favorite Year" is one of ..yeah, it's cheesy...my favorite movies!

Sweet hat... love the pinch.... Any pointers on how to successfully do that deep pinch?

In no particular order: Kirk & Spock, "A Piece Of The Action" Damn near everyone in "The Sting" Tom Selleck in "Lassiter" (apparently there are no pics of him in this hat on the internet...least that I could find...) and, of course,

Thanks for the info, and the compliment!

Well, personally, at age 13, Raiders is what introduced the fedora to me in '81... I have since become the major old/classic movie buff, but to me, it is that hat that's the cultural icon. I've had other, cheapo fedoras before, but the appeal ebbed in my late 20's-30's... But now living in...

To be honest, I barely glanced at the pugarees... since they didn't have the ribbon I was looking for, I was already moving on, trying to remember what else I wanted to try and have done to it at the moment... They did try to suggest some to me, that and other band-type things, but NO, I was...

Thanks! I appreciate the welcomes and comments I received thus far!;)

An update... Just to update you guys... I took the hat downtown (Seattle) to Byrnie Utz's Hats, to see what I could get done, and if I couldn't find out more about the hat in general. The folks there were very kind and helpful. They kindly brushed and re-blocked/bashed it (center dent) free...

Shave Secret... Hi Guys... lotsa great info out here... but in going over the thread, i've only seen a shave oil mentioned once, and that was about a homemade recipe or somesuch... I've been using this stuff for more than a few years now, and swear by it: http://www.shavesecret.com/...

Boy, I just don't know how to answer that... having really nothing to compare it to... I used to have, many years ago, a cheaper, dept. store (JC Penney, etc.) fedora that was not, in my opinion, very stiff, nor do I believe it could possibly have been fur, not for what I paid for it...
