Does fedora with adjustable sweatband ever exist?
I wonder no one has ever had a thought to create such thing? Of course I don't know whether it's feasible or not. Well, most baseball caps apply adjustable strap / to adjust the wearer's hat size. Why no similar device ever applied in fedora? This way, problem concerning "lack of big size" can... -

I don't recall Indy wears any watch in the movie, but in case he does.. as an adventurer roaming jungles and desert.. what kind of vintage watch / model would he wear? We won't find difficulties in finding modern adventurer watch, but what about during 1930-1950 era? What would an outdoor...- Yohanes

Showoff! Why hats / fedora make the difference
OK, this thread has lots of nice pictures of its members with hats. Many stories of how the started wearing hats and why. But I think we should show more to convince others. I start this thread based on two reasons: 1. Giving better reasons why fedoras can improve your appearance. 2. Remember... -

Is Borsalino a tough hat?
OK, Borsalino fedoras, especially the vintage ones are always highly regarded here. But I have the impression that it's the dressier type - not everyday hat, not a hat that can withstand abuse such as accidentally sat on, pressed , dented, stepped on, falls into ditch, against rain, wind, etc... -

Bond Fedora
No, not the one worn by James Bond, but I'm just curious about the recent buy I have (well, not that recent, about 1 month). The brand is Bond, as written in the lining. Royal quality is the only other text stamped on the sweatband. There's a size tag, and also hat millinery union stamp (that... -

Panama / straw hat durability?
I never have any straw / panama hat - but certainly interested to acquire one. I just want to know some matters here, so please educate me: 1. How's a panama hat / fedora (Cuenca or other cheaper style, not Montecristi - I couldn't afford it) withstand pressure ? For instance, fur felt... -

Hat size vs height / posture
I just realize that tall person doesn't always come up with big head size...Well, I'm not talking about a person as big as Indycop lol but I see from members' picture here, where most are westerners / caucasian (which I believe a lot taller than I am :) ) but still many of you can wear size 7 -... -

Please rank the current production hats quality?
OK, I know it's a topic that has been discussed so frequently but I think in separate threads. So based on your experience, can you help rank the current modern production hats brand. The ranking requirement is more or less like this: - It has to be fedora / dress hat. Western, outback, top hat... -

Anything wrong with Akubra Snowy River? ...
Well, maybe I'm wrong, but most of the time when I browsed for used Akubra for sale in ebay, the most frequent model listed (used, not new) is Snowy River.. Why do a lot of people want to part with their Snowy River? Anything wrong with this model? What do you think? -

Questions about caps style
Can anyone explain where does the style "Spitfire" caps comes from, i.e. why is it called Spitfire? Not sure I've seen much in action, except in a movie "No Reservations" starring Catherine-Zeta Jones and Aaron Eckhardt. That should be Spitfire she's wearing? So, is it a women's cap? What is... -

Questions about oilcloth/oilskin duster
Being unfamiliar with this kind of coat, I need your info guys. 1. Does an oilskin coat / duster requires frequent reproofing? How long will it take for the coat to loose its water-proof capability, say, when required to wear on bad weather almost every day? 2. As there are many brands...- Yohanes

Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady
Having just watched this wonderful classic, as now I am a hat fans, certainly watched the hats, too. I'm curious, don't you think that Prof. Higgins' (Rex Harrison's character) hat is out of place / anachronistic? He's wearing a trilby it seems, made of .. tweed? Don't think it's felt, I... -

Cary Grant is not a "hatman"?
OK, during the era, everyone wants to be Cary Grant. How he looks, act, and dress. I wonder why I seldom see his picture in fedora / hat. Honestly I only watched 3 of his movies: Philadelphia story, Affair to remember, and North by Northwest. In "Philadelphia", he only wears a quite nice hat in... -

Isn't there any effort to improve wool felt?
We all know fur felt is superior to wool felt. But due to animal protection issues (but please, don't start this argument again - it's been battled lots of times) I think wool should be safer... you don't have to kill the sheep to get the hair right? So... Isn't there any effort, well, to... -

Help identify my Stetson - please?
The item I won finally came a few days ago - a Royal Stetson. As usual I expect the hat to be a bit crushed, and indeed it is. Usually it's easy to restore its shape, if it's a fur felt, but this time it's not. Nevertheless, I finally can reshape it a bit better. But on expecting the item more... -

Need recommendation for straw fedora
After collecting felts I decide to expand to straw fedora. Felt looks good but certainly becomes quite hot - especially where I live, Indonesia, a tropical country where it's mostly hot and humid! You can easily sweat here. So I'd need your recommendation folks. I can't afford the superfine... -

Anyone here can show pictures and explain general characteristics of 1970s-made fedora? I read in one or some of the old threads / posting that fedoras from this period is not very "favorable"? Why?
