    Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat

    Being a member here since 2006, I have had personal dialogues with members who encouraged bringing back the Strat. Hatco decided what it would be, and we properly described the crown. But the direct association of the lounge & Strat Society was warranted, as this is what inspired the actions...

    Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat

    Yesterday, Hatco put some Strat pins in the mail to me. If you have a damaged pin and need a replacement, please email the store with your order number so I can mail one out to you. Please send it regular email to me, not here. Duane

    The economic nightmare

    My take has always been that accessories do better during a recession, as many will re-accesorize an old outfit rather than buy a new outfit. 2009 is up 20% over 2008 for us, which seems to validate the thought.

    I would suggest waiting to feel so bad until you receive the product and inspect it and then decide. Then, if you don't like it, send it back and get a fur felt! I have many quality wool felt hats that I personally wear as well.

    hat brushing

    Brushes and Brushing For most normally finished hats, feel free to brush in either direction and determine your preference. You are not going to damage your hat, as long as you use a soft horse hair brush. I think most shoe brushes are made of horse hair. Brushing gets any dirt out of the...

    Long Oval Hat Stretcher

    Exactly Right Exactly right. Order a large stretcher so the shape is like your size, then as you stretch the hat it will stretch in the back and front, making your hat more oval. In general, ordering a stretcher a bit smaller than your head size will give you the long oval when you stretch...

    Hat Store in Chicago?

    AS you wish When I compare $500 to $200, I consider it budget minded. However, everyone has a different budget, so have it your way. I didn't post in the thread looking for an argument ;-)

    Hat Store in Chicago?

    HatsPlus I would also recommend HatsPlus for the budget minded, with a large selection to choose from. They're on Irving Park Road. We left the Chicago area this Spring for the Black Hills.

    Hat care tools??

    The key is using horsehair in my opinion. The brushes I peddle have a mix of black and white hairs, making the brush grey. Color isn't really important, and if you are brushing good hats, no need to have two brushes. However, if you are brushing a cheap black wool hat, don't use the brush on...

No mecury, and I...
