    Would "Raiders" have been as popular if the character had been hatless?

    I, for one, do not think so. I know that the era the movie was set in was "when every man wore hats". I just think that if you took the hat out of the film I would not have enjoyed it near as much. I grew up watching the old Untouchables TV series and all kinds of other things like Superman and...

    Having trouble with creasing my FED IV

    I can get the teardrop perfect but I prefer the center dent look. When I try the center dent it always becomes a diamond. Also with attempted center dents the top of the crown (dented in part) touches the top of my head. Maybe it is just the taper of this hat that is causing me problems...just...

    need my Fed IV to shrink a little...I am impatient

    Most posts about this hat say once it gets rained on it will shrink a little which is all I need. Tired of waiting on the rain!!!:D Can't I just hold it in the shower? If so, I assume I should use cold water.

    Straw hat color question

    I want to get a decent straw fedora for the very humid St. Louis summer. I like the bright white color but every time I find one that I think I like and view a larger image it looks more tan colored or natural. Does this have something to do with the weave? My price range is around $100.00...

    The Real McCoys TV show

    I noticed on other threads alot of people asking for examples of someone wearing an open crown fedora. The one that I remember the most was granpaw on The Real McCoys. He almost always sported an open crown. In one particular episode(I do not remember which one) he added a center dent and made...

    Fooled by a hat store?

    Purchased a Borsalino fedora at a local hat shop(that I will not name yet) and I was looking for a dark grey. They only had one that was too small and said they could stretch it.After this was done it fit better and they said with wear it would loosen up a little more. They boxed it and I took...

    Etiquette question...

    I wear my fedora to work and I am a "copier repair man"! I have my hands full until I actually get to the machine I am working on so, I can't take it off until then. Is this improper?

    "factory error"? or is this normal.

    My fedora looks fine on the outside "where it counts", but I noticed the little bow on the rear of the sweatband is not in the exact rear of the hat. The hat size sticker(53) IS. Is this common or did I possibly get a "factory second"?

    New guy here...

    First off...just want to state that "I love Fedoras"! If I had my way, it would be like the "old days" where a man was considered not properly dressed if he was not wearing a hat! Winter or summer! I am 53 years young and have many fond memories and pics of my dad and grandpa wearing their...
