    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...

    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.

    Help finding a modern hat like my Adam

    Hello all This Adam is, by far, my favorite hat. There is nothing I've found that I enjoy wearing more than this. The color is great. The proportions are great. Notice how straight the crown is when viewed from the back. The proportions are brim=2 3/8 "" and crown=4 1/2 to 4 7/8 in the front...

    For Sale or Trade - Akubra Stylemaster - Size 58 - dark gray

    I wasn't really sure how I wanted to get rid of this hat, either sale or trade. I purchased it on ebay a few months back thinking it was going to be lighter in color as it was described. This Stylemaster is almost identical in color to the charcoal/carbon gray you see in Federations. The size is...

    What can I do to help this panama hat?

    Hello, I just got this hat. As you can see it looks beaten down pretty hard. When I saw it for sale today I didn't see it as beaten down hat. I saw what it could turn out to be...because I really like the color a lot and it actually fit...which never happens to me in antique stores. What is...

    Source for this type of cap

    Hey people, I was watching "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" last night and am determined to find a cap like this, but need a source. They seem to look like driving caps but have the "poofiness" of a newsboy. I've posted some links that have pictures from the movie. Any help is appreciated...

    Just bought a new Borsalino and have a question.

    Hi all, I was in the Cincinnati area recently and bought a Borsalino fedora from Batsakes. If I'd been in town longer I would've ordered a Gus Miller hat but being the impatient one I wanted a hat rightaway. It was my first time being in a real hat shop so I was pretty excited. Anyway, I...

    Question about ivy or newsboy brims

    Hello all, What is sewn inside of the brim of an ivy, newsboy, or gatsby cap? I don't think it is plastic because it retains the shape you bend it to and i doubt it is cardboard...just curious.

    Finally found a "vintage" hat...

    now if you good people here can help me find out more about it. I saw the other Adam link posted here a few weeks ago and it was pretty helpful. This hat came from an antique store in Hendersonville, NC for $35. How did I do? I guess it isn't in perfect shape and it could maybe be a half a cm...
