Replacing sweatband?
I have had Optimo do some good work on some vintage hats over the years, but when I recently contacted them about replacing the sweatband in my long oval Knox derby, they informed me they would do a complete refurbishment for $400 but would not simply replace the sweatband. This hat is not in... -
STETSON 7x CLEAR BEAVER QUALITY
Beauty Jesse! I've had a number of vintage Open Roads over the years, including a barely worn 7X that I had reblocked in a Long Oval...but it didn't want to be a Long Oval. Finally just had Art make a clone for my Extra Long Oval noggin. Finding a true long oval vintage 7X is Gold! -
Classifieds comment
10 years ago, I'd say that easily half the classifieds were hats...today, seems like there are more leather jackets on here than anything else.- XPLSV

Vintage Silhouettes Custom Hats - Official Affiliate Thread
During my travels of this past week, I was fortunate to have the chance to drive down to Central Point and visit the master milliner at his shop. Easily the highlight of my travels through California and Oregon. I also had the official measurement and verified my slight suspicion that I was an... -

No announced date, yet, but Art did mention he is considered the order backlog and all—he pick his final hat completion date and back up from there for orders. I know he is thinking about it and there has been a big jump in interest since he mentioned thoughts of retiring. Time for the spring... -

If you drive to Central Point, Art is still accepting orders at the shop. At least he was earlier today -
Dating Vintage Stetsons by size tag
I’m on a cell with a less than stellar signal—having more trouble with pic downloads-sorry if I missed this particular pic. If the hat has the original sweatband and it is taped at the back seam, rather than sewn , it is 1920s or earlier. A sewn seam is indicative of 30s or later. -

F/S 7 3/8 Long Oval Adventurebilt Raiders Fedora
The long wait history is recorded here on the lounge. Steve Delk got in over his head with orders when he was charging much less than he does today...then fell ill with cancer. He has been working the back orders separately from the newer $600 orders. I'll leave it at that. You can search the...- XPLSV

F/S 7 3/8 Long Oval Adventurebilt Raiders Fedora
This fedora has sold. Here goes...beautiful hat, probably the best fitting hat I have ever had.

Put 7X Clear Beave on Ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/231710804782? I placed my 7X on ebay. Great condition. While tagged a 7 1/4, the fit is more akin to a 7 3/8.- XPLSV

Stetson 7X Clear Beaver 7 1/4 to 7 3/8 Long Oval
Between the tag and box, I have guessed the 1960s. No dates or anything under the sweatband. It is a fairly stiff brim.- XPLSV

Stetson 7X Clear Beaver 7 1/4 to 7 3/8 Long Oval
I'm going to part with my 7X Clear Beaver. This started life as a 7 1/4 size, but I sent it to Optimo and had it reblocked into a 7 3/8 Long Oval. As older hats due, it has tended to try to go back to a regular oval, so I would say it is between a regular oval and a long oval. This hat has the...- XPLSV
