    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Jimmy, how do you get that great swoop on the front brims of your Open Roads? Or is that just the camera perspective throwing me off? My OR brims are so stiff, this is about the best I can do. Any advice is appreciated. Stetson 50 7x clear beaver Tan OR with replacement Shudde Bros...

    Ha! Hoisted upon my own petard. It's a pet peeve of mine as well, but I didn't catch my mistake until I tried to search for the Cavan"augh" thread.

    The Cavanagh Club

    Barn fresh I found my first Cavanagh in an antique store today, wonderfully underpriced. Does anyone have an idea for a date on this hat? The felt at the pinch is worn thin, the crease is right-of-center, the brim is wonky and slopes left-of-center, the sweatband (while still fairly soft) is...

    Barn fresh Cavanaugh I found this gloriously underpriced Cavanaugh today in an antique store. The well worn pinch is off-center, the brim's slightly wonky, the ribbon is stained, and the bow needs a little work. I think I'll keep it as is, it has a lot of character. More pics in the...

    The Sunday Drive

    I grew up riding around with my grandfather in a '64 CJ-5 Jeep. Most weekends we drive out to the kennels to check on his bird dogs and horse. When I got old enough, I learned to drive in that Jeep, grinding 3 gears and watching the asphalt pass beneath the rusted out floorboards. I wish we...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Yes, it's pretty tight. I think I'm a long oval, as I can usually stick a finger between the sweat and the side of my heat even with hats that are tight fitting. My '50s Stetson Mode Edge is the same way, too tight to wear for much longer than the time it takes to make my commute. However, my...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    My first Borso: a Borsolino Thirty purchased three months ago on ebay. Finally got around to taking some pics. It came in a cattleman's crease with lots of grease/dirt along the crease. I steamed it out and cleaned it with a damp rag, but only managed to fade the marks a bit. I'm also trying...

    Panama Hat Thread

    1949 Panama? I got this on ebay a few months ago. The seller said it had been purchased new in 1949. It certainly looks and feels old enough, but I'm not sure about that pug. I don't much like it, though I'd keep it if I knew it was original. The hat retains its (much lighter) original color...

    PB Montecristi by Batsakes More in The Panama Canal. (Sorry for the huge photos; I set my pics at medium on Photobucket [320 x 300 pixels] and even small [140 x 160] and they come out the same size: enormous. Does anyone have advice on correcting this?)
