I'm 100% for real, yes. I'm also being tongue-in-cheek with the "Are you Jewish" question since I'm 100% Jewish...and obviously so.
That long-haired hat is available through Belmonti Hatters. I'm also a fan of Primo's on Kingston Ave, although they go more for the black fedora.
Wow. My little thread is still going! Who woulda thought! In the meantime, I get the "Are you Jewish" question even without a black fedora on...I wonder why...
Hey, all, I know I'm not around much anymore. I recently had a brainwave--and maybe you've already thought of this--but I thought I would share. I was driving in Philly when I noticed a fur shop, and I asked if they clean men's fur felt hats. Not only do they clean 'em, they even have hat blocks...
You mean a pristine 7 1/4 Knox 100 like the one I own? You can find more pictures from when I bought it from Alan, I'm sure. I'm not sure I'm ready to part with this beauty yet!

Hey folks,
The Bollman Hat Company in Adamstown, PA is offering tours this Friday for American Made Matters Day. I'm planning on going to the 10:30 am tour; anyone else interested in coming? I'm willing to play point on arranging a group, or we can just meet there as individuals. Reply or send...
I wanted to give a shout-out to Bob for some masterful refurb work. I picked up this 30s Stetson Feather Weight Nutria Quality Stetsonian some time ago, despite the fact that the unreeded sweatband desperately needed to be resown. I wore it nonetheless, until the day that the final thread gave...
