    Here's a question for our Hatters or Conversion Pro. Can a hat in a larger size be reblocked into a smaller size? As an example, can an Akubra Stylemaster in a size 62 be reblocked to a size 57, thus providing a taller, less tapered crown? Thanks, Randy

    Not to mention a photograph of a "cell" if captured would mean the end... not very smart trade craft in that line of work.

    How to travel with hats

    While flying out of Amarillo, TX last year, the TSA agent standing at the entrance to the Scanner took an empty bin and placed it upside down at an angle to cover my felt hat already in a bin. I noticed they also had benches and boot jacks in front of the scanners to facilitate those wearing...

    Thanks for all of the comments. Bowlerman, I got the idea for the curl from the hat Mike recently made for you.

    Akubra Overload

    I recently purchased a Moonstone Squatter from David Morgan and have been thinking of having the 3" brim trimmed to 2.5" and bash it fedora style or have the brim pencil curled a la gambler style for a different look. What do you think?

    Orangegrad, I have the fawn and I really like it. I also think it's much more versatile and I don't get as many "Indy" comments when I wear it.
