Akubra Squatter w/ narrower brim?
Recently I was reading through the traveling hat thread and saw a photo of the Akubra Squatter. I fell in love with that hat, color and everything, EXCEPT the width of the brim. For some reason, I can't pull off the wide brim look. I need a brim that is right around 2" or 2 1/4". I might even... -

What size would a 9"X7" opening be?
I've been looking for a hat size calculator that would help me figure this one out, but I can't seem to find one. Can someone point me to one or tell me how you would figure out the size from these measurements? Oh, guess I should put the measurements in the text as well as the header. Hat... -

Why is my crown so soft?

Age of my Dobbs stingy brim?

What qualifies as "Vintage"?
What do the experts of this forum think qualifies as "vintage"? Is a hat from the 60's vintage? If so, what about the 70's? Maybe one from 50's doesn't even qualify as vintage when compared to hats from the 20's, 30's and 40's. Of course everything on Ebay is called vintage. I am really... -

I searched the Faq page, but didnt find an answer. Is there a certain number of postings I need to have to be able to post pics in a thread? Sorry its such a basic question, but I'm not finding the answer. -

I'm new to this forum - Dobbs question
Hello everyone. I'm so new to this forum that it hurts. I've been lurking for a few weeks, reading and trying to learn. I have two hats now and a couple more on the way. I have a new Bailey Gangster which is a size large rather than being a fitted size. I added a 1/4" felt strip behind the...
