    Hat Making Equipment — Raleigh Hat Co.

    Salut fellow loungers! I decided to get a bit more serious about selling my hatmaking equipment. It's been a difficult decision to officially close the doors on the Raleigh Hat Co experiment—but it's the most sensible thing to do. I'm selling just about everything you'd need to make...

    Hat making equipment: Any interest?

    Hello fellow forumers! Recently, I decided to hang up my hat as a Hatmaker—pun intended. Having two kids a few years ago sealed the deal on what could have been a successful business making vintage inspired fedoras. So what do I do with all of my equipment? I’d like to get a feeler on what...

    Clearing my stock—50% off all Raleigh Hat Co.

    Hello, fellow loungers. Most of you don't know of me, but I'm an oh-so-very small production hat maker based in Oxie Church Village, Sweden, called Raleigh Hat Co. Originally I am from the Raleigh, NC. It's almost wintertime and I am prepping for my next collection so I would love to clear out...

    Raleigh Hat Co.

    Hi everyone. I'm a new(ish) hatter and thought it would be a good idea to start a thread—mainly to gather feedback, but also to introduce my work to the most critical eyes on hats—The Lounge. I've been making hats for a few years now. I've learned what I know mostly from attrition, trial and...

    High quality print run of "Scientific hat finishing and renovating"

    Hi everyone. I want to gauge the interest in doing a small but exceptional quality print run of a hardcover copy of Henry Ermatinger's "Scientific hat finishing and renovating". I own and operate Raleigh Hat Co. out here in Sweden and often refer to this book while working, so I figured it'd...

    Stetson The Sovereign 7 1/8

    Stetson The Sovereign 7 1/8 — I have never worn this hat, it was for my wife originally whom never wore it either. It's in next to mint condition. The felt is BLACK, very black, and in perfect condition besides the dust you see on it :) . The pictures don't accurately show how black it truly is...

    FS: US Navy/Coast Guard Academy Bridge Coat/Peacoat Vintage 36R

    Hey guys, I recently bought this on eBay, however, it's a tad too small for me. I measure as a 41" chest, but typically wear a 38R in suits/coats. This is a slim coat, especially in the waist. Description: Authentic Naval Officer's bridge coat / peacoat. The quality of this coat is unrivalled...

    I trimmed my Federation IV brim today

    I was looking around for something similar a while back, but didn't find too much. Figured I'd share my experience. After thinking I needed a rounding jack to trim the brim, I kind of have up on the idea. Then I decided to go for it after reading that a rounding jack is total overkill for a...

    FS: Biltmore, vintage Stetson & Dobbs - 7 1/2 - 7 1/8

    Hey everyone, I'm doing a little hat spring cleaning. Up for grabs are 3 fedoras that I simply don't use anymore. 1. Biltmore Royal 7 3/8 - 7 1/2 — 1 year old, moss green, black ribbon. The ribbon is quite unique because it lacks an actual "bow" instead it's simply a double loop. That's...

    Anyone have pictures of trimmed Federation IV?

    Hey all! I'm planning on picking up another Fed IV in brown soon. But I really am not into the Indy look associated. I have a carbon Fed now and love it, but would like to trim the brim of the brown down to 2"-2.25" to give it a slightly stingier, summer-ish look. Also I am thinking of swapping...

    Federation IV too big?

    Hey guys! I've been waiting for my new carbon gray Federation IV and finally it arrived today. I measure about 59.75-60 and I ordered a 61 thinking it would be perfect after reading they run small and shrink a tad. However, the hat is massive. It literally swallows my entire head and ears. The...

    F/S Dobbs 7 1/2 & Stetson The Sovereign 7 1/8

    Hey! Up for sale are two great fedora's. One is a dark gray Dobbs with a 5" crown and stingy brim in a 7 1/2. It's in good shape. There's some yellowing in the lining and the band has some normal wear on it. I would guess it's from the 60's or so. Outside is in fantastic shape. Asking $60+...

    WTB: 7 1/2 Fedora.

    Hello! I'll be scanning the forum for new arrivals, but I wanted to put the word out there. I'm looking or a black, dark gray, or brown fedora. I don't need another stingy brim. Honestly I'm looking for an everyday beater I can use up. I like the crown to be on the higher and straighter side but...

    Like New Christy's London Black Fedora

    Bought this hat new last winter. It excellently made and pretty much new. I've only worn it a few times due to it being too small. Didn't realize I'm a 7 1/2. It's a size 59, or 7 5/8. It's fur felt. Email for photos, site won't let me upload :-/
