HAT ADORNMENTS: ribbons, bows, pins, pugs, leather, etc.
I think that's more along the lines of belting, than ribbon. -
For sale - Adam Marston in Bluemetal 7 3/8
Really nice hat, too small for my fat mellon, but I have to say, the hat looks especially great on you. It has to be painful to give up.- El Sid

Hat store experience
I ordered a travel Borsalino online and via telephone from this nice lady named Gilda a couple of years ago: http://www.hatalog.com/ Silver Springs is maybe a half hour outside of Baltimore. I haven't been there, but it seems like a real hat store to me. -

What should you drink with your favorite hat?
My felts like bourbon and my straws like gin and neither will refuse a cold beer. That's why we get along so well. -
The nicest comment I ever heard
I wore my taupe Borsalino with a brown pinstripe suit to lunch at a Chinese restaurant last week and the hostess said, "Oh, you look-a like-a FBI!" -
The Hat Gear Thread
I came across on an old thread posted years ago by one of the pro hatters, I believe, that said you can spray a solution of three parts water to one part Armorall on a hat, both to restore the felt and waterproof it. I tried it on an old stetson conversion and it softened the felt, brought out... -
Short brim vs. wide brim fedora
2 1/2" to 2 3/4" for me, although my indoctrination to wearing a fedora in public began with a vintage gray Knox with a 2" welted edge brim--it seems tiny on my head now. -
All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

Brim up or Brim Down
For me it is always brim down in front, except if it gets in the way shooting 8 ball, a distraction I notice only when I'm losing. -

Vintage 1930s ‘PUBLIC ENEMIES’ Oxblood Fedora, size 7 ½
How fun. I'm not in the running, nor do I intend to snipe, but it's cool to know it is being sold by the dude in the pajamas. Sort of lends a little modernn provenance. If I though I could squeeze my 7 5/8 long oval mellon into it respectfully, without altering its beauty, I'd be in on the...- El Sid

Amazing (price adjusted) Feather Weight Borsalino for sale...
7 5/8 here, too, with the added complication of being a lopsided long oval. A perfectly fitting vintage is a rare find indeed--so rare, in fact, I have never experienced it.- El Sid

What degree of rake do you prefer?
First, I'm happy to know what 'rake' is, thank you. 2nd, I like some rake on a diamond bash, somewhere around medium-to-high. I'm a long-faced guy, so too much high real estate in the front can get kind of cartoony. -

OK buddy, what is this block called?
I always wonder about the very first person who tried something out. I wonder if the poor SOB who first wore this bash got kicked in the head by his horse.
