    Trip to Italy

    flat caps have always been " the headgear" in Sicily and it is not strange that you found some at a street market , but they would have been new. sure, adventure and discovery are a good thing even if applied to hats, on the other hand, with limited amount of time to spend and an incredible...

    Trip to Italy

    I second the opinion given above. Italy is not big on vintage clothes already and even less so for hats. In the days of my far youth second hand clothes were frowned upon our parents and we had to go for the VERY few street markets where you could find secondhand clothes which were all...

    Short Brimmed Cowboy

    With a brim of 3,5" my Resitol Ohio has plenty of " cowboy hat" credentials overshooting, and by quite a bit an open road, for example. Anyway the assumption that a hat with a very large brim was in the cowboy heyday " the hat" is faulty, history tells us that the most used hat by most cowboys...

    Short Brimmed Cowboy

    The Brim of my Resistol Ohio was cut and it is now a more " urban" size , it originally had a cattleman crease a very high crown a very tall ribbon and a large brim, all of that was changed by myself ( except to brim cutting)

    Sahuayo hats

    should someone be curious about the manufacture of these hats watch this video (in Spanish, I am sorry). The hat is not woven as a Panama would be, they use the palm fiber in a strip sawn together, pretty much like a Shantung Hat is made , the difference is the fiber used, this isn't paper, it...

    Sahuayo hats

    A few years ago I spent a holiday in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, and other places in the Yucatan ( visited Cichen Itza where one should certainly find the cheapest hats around and the cheapest souvenirs, if you haggle ) , I found that most hats were made of very good palm but they were...

    Stetson Hats

    well the Stetson EU open road wool felt has arrived! It is nice enough to strengthen my resolve to find a Fur Felt one at some point , but, having said that, it is a nice hat. The quality is not comparable to my other fur felt Stetson but the price reflects that.

    Stetson Hats

    thank you but I need size 60. However if a member who has a size 60 for sale (I have placed an ad " wanted" ) wants to chip in, please, be my guest and do so! Preferably from the EU (because otherwise the added shipping costs + 21% VAT (calculated on the shipping too) + the " handling through...

    Stetson Hats

    Because finding an fur felt open road made in the US in Europe has been proven impossible (I have found one in a shop but size 56 and €399) I will try one of these European Made Stetson Open Road to see if they are a viable " alternative" , wish me luck !

    The wrist watch.

    certainly! If I were given one , I would certainly wear it . If your watch stops working that is serious business and whatever goes wrong shouldn't actually repeat itself. Are the issued cause by a part failing or by oil or dirt? Parts shouldn't be failing that quickly in a watch (especially...

    The wrist watch.

    The periodic maintenance is a myth, actively cultivated by SOME watchmakers a modern watch shouldn't need much service for at least 15 years AND if you alternate your watches (which , like for shoes, is a very good way to preserve them ) you can do even less than that
