What hat are you waiting for today?
My Stetson Premier Stratoliner arrived today and I am quite pleased! I'm no hat expert, but the quality seems high end. The fur felt is light weight, quite soft (the crown is softer that the brim which is somewhat stiff), and the hat overall just looks and feels like a quality product. IMHO it... -

Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?
Actually, Who remembers the "Fizz Nik" or "Astro Float"? Put in a scoop of vanilla ice cream (kept in the freezer compartment of a Philco V handle fridge) and stick one end in a bottle of Bubble-up. Best vanilla float ever.- Scott

New Member Question: Lost Hat
Thanks for your reply. Honestly, I don't think there is a comparable hat considering the sentimental value. In fact, if it were just a matter of replacing a hat, it would be no big deal. Scott -

New Member Question: Lost Hat
Just an update: I was able to get a full refund through my credit card company for the hat repair service costs. Disappointingly, Mike The Hatter has not contacted me in over a month regarding my lost hat. I stopped calling them because I was tired of being brushed off. I'm now accepting that... -

Pomade
Murrays is good stuff. Actually developed in the 1920's I believe. Try mixing it with a bit of Lucky Tiger 3 Purpose hair tonic to thin and apply. Washes out pretty well with Ivory bath soap. Scott- Scott

New Member Question: Lost Hat
No, no agenda. Like I mentioned before, I've been lurking here for awhile then this happened. I felt a sense of urgency to do something about it. I thought getting some valuation info, just in case, might turn out useful. I figured this forum was the best place to turn and did so posthaste... -

New Member Question: Lost Hat
Well the owner has fessed up to making a mistake, but still doesn't know the whereabouts of the hat. He has at least confirmed that they owe me one Dobbs Twenty hat. I am partially relieved for that. He's suggesting that the mixup occured in sending hats to the dry cleaners they use. He's... -

New Member Question: Lost Hat
I'm getting close to that point, revealing the shop. Possibly when I do, it will be recognized as a shop with a bad reputation. I don't know. The owner requested that I send in photos of the three hats I showed in my previous post. These hats were also in his shop and fortunately returned... -

New Member Question: Lost Hat
Here is a photo of three other hats once belonging to my grandfather. The hat at the far left is a Cavanaugh and looks very similar to the Dobbs I am missing although the Dobbs is a lighter tan. The middle hat is a Mossant and the dark brown hat is a Resistol xxx beaver. BTW, does this site... -

New Member Question: Lost Hat
If only for a second I'd considered that this could have happened I would have taken some pictures, but I didn't. As far as the name of the company, I'm going to call them tomorrow and pin them down on the status of my hat. They've had a week to locate it. I won't name them yet. I am a... -

New Member Question: Lost Hat
Greetings to all. This is my first post, but I've been lurking awhile. A very nice site and forum. My question is in regards to the value of a vintage Dobbs Twenty fedora. My sad tale, so far, is this: I sent my late grandfathers Dobbs Twenty to an out of state hat cleaning/repair...
