Blades for Brim Trimmer?
I recently found one of these brim trimmers on EBay, and now that it has arrived, the blade looks like it needs to be replaced. Anyone have any idea where I might find a replacement blade? I did not take a photo of the blade when I had it apart, but it's an odd shaped single-sided razor blade... -
Vintage shrinkage
Okay - say you are eyeballing a beautiful vintage hat on EBay... IS there anyway, to know how much shrinkage may have occurred in the hat - short of putting it on your noggin - or entrusting a tricky measuring job to the seller ? (who may or may not know how to get an accurate... -
SOLD: 'Hurley' 7 1/4 vintage tan fur felt fedora
This was an Ebay purchase that I received just today. It doesn't fit me, so I am putting it up for sale immediately (so I can continue my quest for the perfect lid on OFAS!). Brand seems to be a proprietary house brand: "Hurley," made expressly for Davidson's Men's Wear in Cleveland. The...- jec

FS: Akubra Stylemaster, size 59 in mid-gray
I mentioned recently in another thread that I have been thinking that this shade of gray is a bit too dark for my taste, so I am offering the hat for sale. Essentially brand new from Everything Australian, I have worn it out of the house only twice. I've slightly tightened the front pinch...- jec

Reshaping the brim on a wool hat
I have a wool outback-style hat (Scala/Dorfman) that I wore as my beater hat for the summer. It was the lid I grabbed as I would head out to the garden or to mow the lawn, and eventually it became drenched with sweat, sunblock and dirt. Of course, it became increasingly misshapen, as well, and... -

FS: Dobbs 7 1/4 'Jet 707' fedora
Before I post this on Ebay, I thought I would offer it here on the FL. It's a medium gray Dobbs fedora in good condition. With a brim width of 1 7/8", I've decided it's a bit too stingy a look for me. The black ribbon is a 1 3/4" wide. The hat came with center crease that I easily rebashed...- jec

Do hats really need a liner?
Is there any reason NOT to remove the liner from my Akubra Angler that I wear out in the sun when I am painting? Not having much hair on top, I am finding that my sweaty dome sticks to the plastic on the crown of the hat's liner. Then the liner nearly pops out inside-out when I take the hat... -
FS: Akubra Cattleman, size 58, dark brown
I bought a used Akubra Cattleman on EBay earlier this spring. It was used, but in excellent shape. I wore it a few times, until I saw a photo of myself wearing the hat and realized that the 3 1/4" brim is way too wide for my head! I look goofy in it. But it would be a great field hat for...- jec

Cleaning an old ribbon?
Okay, so you get a nice old hat on EBay. The dust on the felt comes off with a hat brush. Easy. But how do you clean off the ribbon - if not all the dust comes off with the brush? Can you damp wipe it? Sponge? Damp paper towel? Any advice will be appreciated! Jim -
Does Hat with Moth Damage have value?
Hi everyone, newbie here. I've been lurking here for awhile and have learned loads from you all. Thanks. Now I need a bit of advice: I purchased a vintage Stetson fedora last week on EBay. Perhaps some of you helped get the bidding up (!). Here is the link... -
