    I recently had a panama hat cleaned and reshaped. The hat came back sprayed with some sort of paint (I'm sure it's not typical spraypaint). The color was more of a mustard/yellow rather than the natural panama fiber color and the thing ended up weighing a bit more more. It looked okay from a...

    Hello all. Pardon me if this is not the correct Forum for this question. I've been practicing photography and trying to develop an artistic side over the last 11 months. Right now I'm trying to branch out to things besides birds, bugs, buildings, etc. Does anyone have any artistic hat or cap...

    What causes this shape above hat band?

    Thanks for the replies. I'll add reblocking to the list when I send it out to get a leather sweatband. All of the explanations seem plausible to me. I would like to prevent it from happening again. I'm not sure if it's a Stetson Forty Seven thing or maybe mine is just a lemon. I was a little...

    What causes this shape above hat band?

    That makes sense somehow. I'm shipping it off to have a leather sweat band put it soon...maybe there is something they can do for it.

    What causes this shape above hat band?

    Hello, This past spring I bought a Stetson Forty-Seven. For the most part I like the hat. It's not great. It's not as nice as my Akubra Capricorn. It's in dire need of a leather sweat band instead of the cloth one that it came with. However, my question is about the weird shape of the crown just...

    Help finding a panama hat like this one...

    First, I've not been on FL in a very long time and please accept my apologies if I post this in the wrong forum. I purchased this hat for super cheap on ebay several years ago. I never intended it to be a work hat but I started a project and forgot to take a work hat with me so I had to use...

    Want to use a cap/hat for Halloween party...ideas?

    First, I'd like to apologize if I've put this in the wrong forum. Hey people. I need a Halloween costume on the cheap and could use some ideas. The one rule is that I want to wear either a newsboy or a fedora with it. I have no vintage clothes so nothing cool like a gangster and I do not have...

    Steston Open Road in straw

    Any other crease types? So far, all the straw open roads I've seen are cattleman creases. How about a fedora type crease? From what I've gathered, these straw Stetsons cannot be reshaped with water like a Sunbody straw. I've changed my Sunbody hat several times by soaking it. Also, what is the...

    My first Fedora

    I certainly hope I'm wrong for your sake. Who knows...she may be better at packing hats than she was a year ago. Don't worry about it. If the brim is bent it can be fixed easy enough. But she will leave you negative feedback if you so much as make a complaint about her. I got negative feedback...

    My first Fedora

    Prepare for the hat to come in a box to small and the brim to be bent. That is how mine came a year ago.

    Akubra Capricorn Review

    Question for other Capricorn owners Is it safe to wear my Capricorn in the rain? The hat is pretty stiff right now. If it gets wet will it taper and lose the crown shape? Hope all of you are enjoying yours as much as I'm enjoying mine.

    My first Fedora

    Congrats on the fedora! I'm positive it won't be your last one. I bought a hat from her before she changed her user name. She is a wretched beast.

    Akubra Capricorn Review

    Got mine about awhile back. Great hat! I've been wearing it practically everyday. It does have a weird crunchy texture to it though.
