This is one of the nicer modern Stetsons. Beautiful rabbit/beaver fur-felt blend with silk finish and longer nap. Reshaped into a teardrop crease. 2 3/8' brim. This one is hard to let go of.
What may appear to be specs of dust in the pics is actually the hair of the felt glistening in the...
I have reshaped this hat with two hatshapers to minimize the taper that it was blocked with at the factory. Fits a little bit snug on me so it might fit someone who is a 7 1/4.
$50 + shipping.
I have reshaped this hat with two hatshapers so that there is very little taper. Looks better than the generic Stetson factory crease. Fits a little loose on me so it could fit someone who wears a 7 1/2. Nice and clean. Great hat for that MadMen/Donald Draper vibe.
$60.00 + shipping.
Although a relatively unknown hatter, this is a beautiful specimen of a 50's, or maybe 60's, fedora. 1 3/4" brim. The color is much richer than my cellphone camera shows and the felt is very soft and pliable---much like a vintage Borsalino. You can bash it with no wetting or steaming into any...
Inner circumference is approximately 22" (size tag is missing). 1 5/8" brim. Great felt quality with original box. My guess is it's from early to mid 60s.
$60 + shipping.
Since the brims on these hats are notoriously floppy I trimmed the brim down to 2 1/4" which helped eliminate some of the floppiness; I also reshaped the crown into a teardrop crease and there is now only a slight taper. I used a hatshaper from hatshapers.com to do this. The color is "Sage"...
I asked this on the "Ask a Question" sticky thread but have not received an answer.
I trimmed the brim of a hat and need to know what would be the best grade of sandpaper to smooth it out with.
Thanks
....this time it's a Fedora hatshaper. Turns out some of my hats didn't take to the straight-sided dome and hand-bashing them didn't give me the results I wanted. So I got this one:

I sprayed the hat and put it on the shaper. How do I...
I just got a new jacket and only have one hat that matches it (sort of). I like the charcoal grey that the Sydney comes in and both David Morgan and Noggintops are selling them at $145. The Como comes in a similar color but is pretty expensive. Does anyone own these two hats, or at least been...
After having acquired two VS hats, and three Borsalinos (along with a Fed IV)---all with tall, straight crowns---I have finally come to be discontented with my modern Stetsons and their short, tapered crowns. The reason I have so many of these hats is because I live about 7 minutes from the...
I love Fall and Winter (and early Spring) because I get to wear my felt hats. I've tried wearing them in the Summer but just a few short months ago it was 111 degrees here in the DFW area. So, I am already looking ahead toward those brutal, scorching days and thinking of a really nice straw hat...
Living so close (like---7 minutes) to the Hatco Outlet in Garland, I've ended up with quite a few modern Stetsons that I got on the cheap. Now that I have a couple of VS masterpieces I have become quite fond of the tall, non-tapered look of the classic fedoras of the 30s. I was preparing to...
I asked this on the Art Fawcett Hall of Fame thread but have received only silence so far---so! I thought I would start a new thread. :D I am interested in Art's HST (Silverbelly). If anyone has one and can post pics with you wearing it I would appreciate it
