Horween MILANO Horsehide in Havana Brown
Steve Toohey of Simmons Bilt sent me a photo of a jacket made in this new Horween hide. I decided to have an SB Vintage Half Belt made with this new creation. According to Steve, "... The other photo is of a new leather we developed from Horween, Milan horsehide Havana brown with is veg tan...- Drdan

Would Someone Please Post Photos of Horween LUX HH in Dark Brown?
I'm waiting for Deborah to get back to me before ordering an SB Vintage Half Belt. I really like the look of the Horween CXL steerhide in Havana brown, and if I did order the HB in this leather, I would ask for the thinnest and smoothest hide from their stock. I find the Horween LUX in...- Drdan

Montecristi Hat Weavers' Earnings
A FL member recently posted that he would be travelling to Cuenca, Ecuador and while there planned to pick up a nice Panama. If someone was going to be in Ecuador, did some research, was well informed about Panamas, and spoke Spanish, that would be the place to get a good one... There's very... -
Off White Lightweight Fur Fedora VS Classic Montecristi Fedora...Which is Cooler?
I've had numerous Montecristi Panamas over the years, and they are fantasttic summer hats. I'm just getting into felt hats, and a nice light colored felt fedora would be a very attractive hat for the summer. If I were to wear a lightweight 100% beaver "silver belly" felt fedora with... -
Why are liners sewn or glued to felt fedoras?

Vicuna and Shahtoosh hat felt
I've seen hats offered in beaver on the internet, often followed by varying numbers of x's... Is this the finest hat felt available? Are there even higher quality hat felts, like vicuna, or even shahtoosh? Vicuna is significantly softer than cashmere, and shahtoosh is noticeably softer... -
WTB Pre "1986 transition" classic beaver Borsalino 7 1/4 in blue
I'd like the hat similar to the Bellagio's or the Classic Fedora's geometry seen below. My hat size in Europe is 58 - Borsalinos may run small; please advise... The year of manufacture is insignificant, as long as it's not one of the new factory (i.e., lesser quality) Borsalinos. I'm in Rome...- Drdan

Sources for leather hat bands?
Many of the "safari" and "country" felt hats offered by well known hatmakers are adorned with relatively nice leather hat bands which work well for these types of hats. Most of them have logos, which detract from the hat's aesthetics, at least for me. The photo shows commonly found hat... -
Borsalino Marco Traveler VS Acubra International Black
Greetings, I'm new to this forum, but I've been lurking for quite some time; gleaning as much information as I can. I was ready to purchase a Borsalino Traveler (Marco model) in Rome, where I live, but decided to do a bit of research before I did. I need a good "commuting" hat that is good...
