Hi All,
I thought I would post a general announcement that one of my fav online retailers, YOOX.com, is now offering Borsalinos at "discounted" prices. Their market is to sell past-season, high-end, designer goods from all over Europe on their global website. It's catch as catch can, but if...
Well, I've landed a pair of pith helmets, off ePrey: one, hard and twill covered, Made in India; the other flexible, but formed woven straw from Churchill. The Churchill is more comfortable because it breaths and conforms better to my Long Oval noggin. Though marked 7 3/8, was afraid that the...
I'm posting this separately so that the list can be found easily and added to.
As with any "art" form, a lot of the opinion about their work is just that. FWIW, here is my perosnal list developed through purchaseing, visits, measuring and direct contact.
I personally think that the highest...
I'll start out with my favorite western hat and boots combo "Whiskey and Feathers" : Churchill for Neiman Marcus "Red River" in Whiskey, with an renewed elaborate feather badge and band. I like to underpin it with a pair of J. B. Hill "La Plumas" in whiskey with a chocolate calf foot and inlaid...

I was prowling on Yoox.com this afternoon and ran across several patterns of Borsalino silk ties they are offering at $49. But the ones that grabbed me were the ones with Panama hats, on yellow or green--great summer ties.
They also have a few odd hats and caps at this link...
In this online marketplace, I am often tempted by hats that might be above or below my measured-by-machine 7 3/8 (+ 1/4 Long Oval--see my profile for my REAL profile). However, every time I get a new or used hat, in my size, the fitment variations are significant enough to make me wonder if I...
Beware All, I have just returned this ePrey hat to the seller due to inadequate description.

Though he cites "small, scattered moth marks visible only up close. One of the more prominent moth pecks is...
I thought I'd enquire of NY State Police Headquarters PIO where they get their Stetsons cleaned, reblocked, etc., hoping I might find someone in, well, shooting distance.
To my surprise, I got this response right back:
"We do not service nor repair the Stetson's. They are 'recycled' back to...
