This Made Me Feel Guilty About Wearing Fur Felt Hats
Someone just shared this on Facebook and when I watched it, I just felt guilty about wearing fur felt hats. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE56fAD3HyE I was now wondering if other fur farms where most felt makers get their fur are like this one in China. Is there even a more humane...- fenris

Stetson Temple Reblock
I just got my Stetson Temple in black. Didn't realize how tapered the crown would be. It's nice and all, but the crown does not suit me I think. I'm planning to reblock it to get some more crown height... Will probably lose some brim, though. Has anybody had success reblocking this... -
Semi Reblock Of My Hat

Acidic sweat
This is my first post here in the lounge. I have a concern regarding acidic sweat... My hat, a Christy's adventurer, which is roughly 3 months old (or is it 4?) has lost all its markings on the sweatband and even size tags. I'm sure it's because of my sweat. I've seen a lot of pics of your...
