    Hat Project Bundle: Vintage Fedora Bodies, Sweatbands, Grosgrain Ribbon, Liners - Sold as a Lot

    So... I became very active in the hat section here many years ago. This place helped stoke my love for fine, vintage fedoras, and eventually I started refurbishing them as a hobby. I stripped beat up hats, cleaned them, sewed in sweatbands, made ribbons, etc. Those days are long gone. I have...

    Who Owns A Goorin

    My whole family bought hats at Goorin in San Fran last summer. A bit overpriced, but we're happy with them. We didn't really plan to buy them, but I made the trip without a hat. After getting scorched the first day, I realized going hatless in the sun was no longer an option. Mine is white or...

    Softening an Akubra Federation IV

    My approach to my Akubras has been less subtle. I fill the sink with tap water and dunk 'em. After a thorough soaking I pull the hat, dry it off slightly with a towel and then work the felt. Finally, I shape and set to dry. Note- I have a long oval head, so I also use the soaking to reshape...

    Old Stetson, Anyone?

    Have decided to stick with the sale. I have a tentative deal lined up with the first person who sent a PM, offering to buy. If you want to get in line, should that sale not happen (although I fully expect it to), feel free to send a message. Thanks, all! Anj

    Old Stetson, Anyone?

    The museum is an interesting idea. I'll reach out to a friend of mine who runs a local history museum. Would it be kosher to put this on hold for twelve hours, so I can see if she's interested? Anj

    Old Stetson, Anyone?

    A friend of mine got this at an estate sale. He didn't know if it had much value. I don't either. As you can see it is beat to, um... heck. It is old, though, and kind of cool. I would say it dates to between 1900 and 1920. Don't know if it's wearable, but the inner circumference is about 21...

    Excited about this custom job from Toronto. Not that I'd wear black a lot, but it looks damn nice. Anj

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I don't have any hard data to back this up, but it seems to me that the market is a little down right now. A good time to buy. A less than ideal time to sell. Anj

    "Chinatown" Jack N's fedora

    This reminds me of a great little detail about the hats in this film. Nicholson's character, who makes a decent living and is somewhat vain, has a few different main fedoras. He changes them to match his clothes. The cops, though, who makes less and care less, have just one hat each. Their hats...

    Hat Weigh-in

    My Stetson Playboy is three ounces flat. Impressive, especially for a large hat (7 1/2 long oval). Anj
