    Denton on Doomsday (The Twilight Zone, 1959)

    Hello fellow loungers! Can anyone out there help me to identify this hat? I would love to get my hands on a vintage one - or, failing that, something newer in a very similar style. Seems to have a flat crown and a curled brim. Seems homburg-like, but flatter on top (?). Any help is...

    Replacement hat band?

    I have contacted a few local hatters, interested in replacing the leather band as well as the outer ribbon of an old Dobbs Fedora. However, both places want to charge me around $70-80 for the ribbon, and about $50-65 for the band. I feel like I could probably just get a replacement hat on...

    Help identifying a DOBBS fedora...

    Hello. A while back, I got a "Vintage Dobbs Grey Fedora" from eBay. Of my 10+ fedoras, this one has become my favorite. I would really like to find another one of the same model, different color - but I don't even know what kind of hat it is. The eBay listing was not informative. The tag is...

    Good hat shops in Belfast, Northern Ireland (and Dublin too!)?

    I will be spending a few days in Belfast next week - followed by a few days in Dublin. Can anyone recommend any good hat shops in those areas? Mainly interested in fedoras. Not looking for super expensive, necessarily. I like to try and bring home a hat when I travel abroad. Thanks!

    For Sale: Black Akubra Federation IV Size 58 (actual size = 57)

    Hello. I am selling a black, Akubra Federation IV, size 58, purchased from Hats Direct. The tag reads size 58, but it has shrunk significantly and is now a size 57. The hat has been given a "raiders bash". The hat was worn extensively for about 3-4 weeks, then not at all. It comes from...

    Shrinking an Akubra Fed TWO SIZES?

    Think it would be possible (advisable) to try and shrink an Akubra Federation IV down two sizes? Just received a size 58 and even with the included foam, it is too big. If I stuff it with tissues AND foam, it fits about right. I could return it, but it took 40 days to get here... and I just...

    Novice questions: Christys/Fed IV/Garrison

    Thanks for the help, everyone. The folks at Christys recommended I check out Tails & The Unexpected, in Wales. I glanced briefly at their website, and they do have the Adventurer. But I think I am going to go ahead and try the Fed IV, standard (in black actually) and see how I like it.

    Novice questions: Christys/Fed IV/Garrison

    I wonder if anyone could give me some advice. I am a novice when it comes to hats, and I have a few questions. I own a Christy's Adventurer (with an Indy bash). I actually really like the hat. But it has been through hell (lots of outdoor use) and I wish to get a new hat (or two). One...

    Akubra Fed IV or Christy's Adventurer, whats better?

    Seems discolored to me... almost like it's sun-faded differently. ? Not sure. But I will give it a good brush tonight and see what happens. Thanks for the advice.

    Akubra Fed IV or Christy's Adventurer, whats better?

    Question... Great forum. This is my first post. Quick question. I ordered the Christy's Adventurer and love it. However, Is there supposed to be a "ring" on the brim (see photo)? It might be hard to see in the photo, but there is a color difference on the felt near the crown. I haven't...
