    John Penman at Penman Hats has made at least one hat for the new season.

    It is. The brim is 2 3/8. They may have cut down the hat he wears on the show.

    It looks more brown than olive in person.

    It's the Borsalino Fortisma, limited edition in olive. JJ Hat center had them last year.

    Trying to match a lamp from The Orient Express. Anyone recognize it?

    I'm looking for a table lamp of the same type used on the Venice Simplon Orient Express. So far I've come up with nothing. Does anyone here recognize the maker?

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Hello all, I recently purchased a circa 1936 Dobbs fur felt homburg. The leather sweatband itself is fine, but the stitching holding it in place has failed. Can the original be reattached, or must it be replaced?

    The Dobbs Diner...

    Good day! Could I get some assistance with a newly acquired Dobbs homburg. Based on period advertising, this appears to be circa 1936, but I'm not the expert.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    My new baby. A vintage Dobbs homburg with it's original hatbox. The hat itself is in beautiful condition, although it needs a good cleaning and a new sweatband. The box has seen better days. Based on the price tag I found inside the sweatband and the pricing in print ads, it looks like it's from...

    decent yahting caps?

    Hmm. Yachting hats appear to be just a standard US military peaked cap with the stiffening frame removed, ala the 50 mission crush cap from the Army Air Corps. If that's correct this will wind up being a lot easier than I hoped.

    decent yahting caps?

    I saw them. I'm looking for a navy cap but really don't like the look of the applied patch on Midway's hats. Still, it looks like I'm going to have to compromise.

    decent yahting caps?

    I just saw the prices. Dear Lord! An awful lot of money for something that was being made as recently as 2011!

    decent yahting caps?

    Thanks all. The yachting caps used on Gilligan's island were made by Lancaster Hat Company. All the places i've found no longer stitch the goldwork directly to the cover, as was done classically, but use an applied patch. I may have to go vintage for this to get the right look.

    decent yahting caps?

    Does anyone make a decent yachting cap since the Lancaster Hat Company closed?

    Sources for new, historically accurate spats/spatterdashes

    Good day all. I've been looking to get newly made, but historically accurate spats, as the sizes and colors I would like are very rare/expensive in true vintage. However, the spats I've seen for sale all seem to be a modern take on the classic design, or are severely compromised to cut the sale...

    List of Custom, made-to-order, Fur Felt Fedora hatmakers and hatters

    Recommendations for custom hat makers ? I'm in the market for a new fedora, and following the discussion I had when I bought my last off-the-shelf hat, I'm looking to get this one custom made. Any recommendations?

    Hat Storage Advice

    I've been looking for luggage for carrying hats while traveling. While you can find old 1970s train cases on ebay, it looks like the only people making them new are Louis Vuitton and other companies with similarly overpriced offerings. Does anyone know of a good, traditionally designed train...

    For the show all his hats are bought from JJ Hat Center or if something custom is needed it's made by Worth and Worth.

    Thanks, those look very close indeed, especially the second.
