    biffnix - Welcome. Nice hat, fits you well. FYI, I bought a Stetson Pure Open Road from Delmonico, and it too was a bit large for me, although my four other Stetson's fit spot on. You would think the Pure line would fit perfectly considering it is near top of the line, so surprising we both had...

    How did you get the grease out of the hat? In my college fraternity hell week 1969), we had to keep our limited rations under our caps, consisting of spam and dried out bread rolls. I'm sure I threw that cap out after that ordeal. 乾杯

    Movie hats

    Larry Parks, star of The Jolson Story (1946), was my best friends' father in the 50's and I spent enormous amounts of time with him and family in their house (just up the street from me). Browsing this thread encouraged me to dig some pics up online.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Inexpensive Panama I can afford to lose from The Hip Hat. There was some discussion here a while back about The Hip Hat, run by a couple of nice gals, so decided to give them a try. Sorry for the small pic, all I could find in the right format.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Nice hat. Does anyone find it strange that Google maps shows a bald guy obviously out shopping for a hat, wondering why Willoughby is no longer at 7 Rue de Castiglione? Does anyone wonder why someone like me doesn't have better things to do than search out old hatmakers on Google maps?

    Show us their hats!

    As an afterthought to my post, it just dawned on me that great gramps was a "draper" (sometimes meaning selling fabrics but more often also meaning something like haberdasher). So he might have sold (and made?) hats as well! Wish I had more info and pics, but that is the only one and I found...

    Interesting hat. I remember Desmonds back in the 70's, nice but not "high end" mens store. I think early in my professional career in the 70's I bought some of my first suits there (but no hats). I believe they are very long gone now.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I'm new and just posted in the New Members subforum yesterday. This post is about an "interesting" hat I stumbled across on eBay (its new). This is absolutely not why I am getting into hats, but it has a slightly interesting history, so here goes. The hat is a "Dodgers" hat and I'm a fan (yeh...

    Hello All! I've been lurking for some months now, but thought it was time to join up and introduce myself. I spent the first 71 years of life disliking hats and virtually never wearing them, other than maybe a Dodgers baseball cap once in a while (I'm a big Dodgers fan). So out of the blue...
