Thanks, I looked at them, they are different. I'm only missing a couple, got lost in the moves. Peacoat, not exactly, I'm going to guess between 86 and 89, since I remember I was married, my wife sewed them on for me. And I wasn't married until 86 and got out of the Navy in 92.

Speaking of Pea Coats, I have my original one that I was issued in 1983. Part way through my enlistment, they made us take the silver buttons off and put plastic black buttons. I'd like to switch it back, but have been unable to find the original buttons. Anyone know where I can look...

Corrected, and put me down under gravely undereducated, I went through public schooling. :beer:

Whooops, now I'm scared. I just shipped Art my borsalino last week. Hope it makes it ok.

Very beautiful hat, I've been looking on his web site and want one very bad. Why do you have to block it if it's new? I must be missing something?

Thanks, that helps, that is why all my recently aquired fedora are like that, I assumed they needed reshaped, having only had experience with western hats.

I've seen them mentioned here, can someone tell me what a snap brim is, why is it different then any other brim? Thanks in advance

photobyalan hit the size, I think. I wear a 6 7/8 pretty good. This hat is a little too large, but I think I can live with it. Once it's cleaned and blocked, we'll see.

Received it today. What a beautiful hat. I love the light weight felt on it. It is a little large. But not too bad, does need reblocked and the brim shaped better. I'm thinking I might send it off to have it profesionally done.

I would think it would depend on if you are planning on wearing it a lot, or just keeping it as a collector peice.

Weegee, I wouldn't even know where to begin asking questions, being new to fedoras, I don't know what looks good on me yet.

Same question, I've looked all over for a link.

Converting a western into a fedora? Tell more. I have a nice Stetson western hat I don't wear anymore, brims too big. Was thinking of ebaying it, but maybe a conversion is in order?

Well, if it is a 7 1/8, I'll be either selling it, or figuring out how to make it fit my pin head.

Well, it was meant to be funny. A joke. I've been shaving for over a year, no, I'm not going bald, just always kept it short, and it's easier to keep it shaved then get a haircut. Besides, never liked my hair anyways.
