Trainman's Cap
Thank you for your suggestions. I've read a number of posts about Art Fawcett and his skills with hats. Anybody know if he does this kind of replacement on a stiff hat? A Trainman's cap is nothing like a soft fedora or panama, but has a plastic lining to stiffen the hat and provide some...- Dave Keller

Trainman's Cap
I have a trainman's cap which is a hard-style, stiff cap with stiff brim and the cheap original sweatband has disintegrated. Is there anyone out there to whom I can ship this hat and have a new, decent-quality sweatband sewn in? Thanks for any help you can provide! Dave- Dave Keller

When they say "Butcher's cap", do they refer to a newsboy styled cap? In the 1930s
In reference to the earliest post about the butcher's cap possibly referring to a newsboy-style cap, bear this in mind: While a butcher's cap WAS paper as indicated, there was another form of "butcher" back then: The "news butcher." A "news butcher" was another name for a street...- Dave Keller

Thanks, Hamlet. Not wishing to get too far off topic, I've been using Colonial Photo for years out of desperation. They're OK . . . . but nothing compared to what was in Manhattan.

Thanx, folks, for the kind welcome! As soon as my son comes over for a visit, I'll have him take some shots of the various hats with his digital camera and post them here. I'm also a dinosaur with photography. I'm a film man and still do black and white photography in a darkroom with...- Dave Keller

If that Mallory doesn't scream "1930s small-town mayor" I don't know what does. Definitely get a wide black band. If you're going to be vintage, go all the way! Dave- Dave Keller

I am a brand-new member and was steered to this forum by Robert Weber (Panamabob) on his website to get feedback from customers who purchased his Panama hats. I’m sorry this is a bit long-winded, and future posts will be much shorter, I promise, but I would like to give you a little...- Dave Keller
