    For sale/trade; Hatters grab bag of stuff. Bodies, liners ribbons, tools.....

    I have debated posting this for a while, but decided there was little to lose, and maybe some benefit for myself and somebody else. Lack of availability of time and space have conspired to convince me that I'm not going to be doing any Hat conversions/refurb's in the future, so I have a small...

    So what separates a homburg from a fedora structurally?

    I've been wondering about this for a while, I know that Homburgs are usually center dent and the tight pencil curl of the brim, but really, a little steam and a flat iron will fix both of those pretty easily. What else separates a St. Regis from a whippet besides a name and some heated water...

    Wormser "Ten Star Quality" OR clone, size 7?

    Last for today, This was a blind purchase, and I got it to practice on, but it's way too small for me. Nice little OR clone though, I steamed it open ironed the brim flat and gave it a thorough damp brushing, rebashed it to it's current shape, then put it on a band block and let it dry. It's...

    Pilgrim OR clone in 7 3/8 FS/FT

    This is a wonderful summer weight felt OR clone in silverbelly felt. I took it to Peters Bro's hatters in Ft. Worth a while back to have it cleaned and creased because the light weight felt was not cooperating with me. Brad said that it was one of the thinnest OR clones he had ever worked with...

    Stetson 7x OR style 7 3/8

    Looking for a new home is a Stetson 7x in 7 3/8 LO from Peter Brothers in Ft. Worth. I picked it up in Houston from a stage company prop room. It's in fantastic shape, almost never worn before i got it, and seldom after as it's just a touch too loose, even when I'm due for shearing...

    A somewhat fancy hat stand?

    So, Heather told me last week "if you are going to keep leaving your hat in the house, find somewhere to put it in instead of on top of the lampshade or the mantel clock!" I started to explain to her that those were good places because they supported the hat by the inside of the sweat and...

    The other hat that ultimately led me here.

    Ok, as I admitted before, I sorta started out looking for info on "that" hat (the one we don't discuss around here much). But this is another major contributor to my current hat "issues". Anybody recognize it without reading the article...

    Any Other Fiestaware junkies on here?

    I'm posting this in deference to my better half, just to see if there is anybody on here that happens to share the fiestaware bug. For those who don't know (and if you exit this thread quickly enough, you might avoid infection), Fiestaware is a line of vintage dishes and serverware made by the...

    Selfmade hat storage systems?

    Ok, I know that hat storage has been beaten to with an inch of its life, but this might be a new twist. Plenty of us out there do woodowork, machine work, crafty type stuff in general. So what have you come up with to hang (or set) or whatever, your hats on when they aren't on your head...

    What are your most treasured Possessions? Top 5, maybe top 10?

    Ok, I know that usually when somebody opens a new thread like this they say "Ok, I'll go first, here's my...." but I literally just thought of this (again, It has crossed my mind before) and decided I would toss it out here and see if it splashed. I promise, I'll put together my top 5 (or top...

    WTT or FS; The Blue Hat Blues! '40's Champ Deluxe 7 1/4 (from sticker under liner)

    I got the Blue Hat Blues, and want to trade them to somebody else. This hat looked grey on feebay, but looks can be deceiving. Beautiful, immaculately preserved example of a vintage Champ dress fedora. Consensus when I posted it to the 'bay thread was '40's vintage, which is good enough for...
