STERKOWSKI FEDORAS
I see these fedoras made by a Polish company on Amazon for less than $100. The claim is: They are made of rabbit fur. Any Lounger know about these hats? Own one? -

Two inquiries re fedora brim widths: -What was the width of the fedoras Bogey wore? 2 1/2? or less? -Is the new version of the Stetson Whippet considered a hipster/stingy brim fedora because the brim width is 2 3/8"? Or. was 2 /38" perhaps the Bogart brim width? Thanks! -

Nathaniel Hat Makers
I checked the David Morgan site from time to time. It appears that all of his felt hats are Akubra. I don't recall any styles from Nate. Could be wrong. -

Open Road questions ??
The reason I asked in the first place is because I have to cowboy-worn Open Roads from New Mexico, each I would say from at least the 60's, and each has a 2.5" brim and a 5" open crown. Then I picked up a dead ringer for an Open Road recently up in Ventura for 60-bucks. It is in beautiful shape... -

Needing a first class baseball cap
I just bought and received an Ideal Cap Co., solid color, blue, 1940's style. It is classic. Real wool, real leather sweat band, perfect fit. The crown is lower than current New Era hats, and I prefer that. Apparently, the dark blue I got was pretty much the cap worn by navy fliers in WWII. -

vintage caps

Hat sponsor
To Hatophile... Years back a local radio show threw open the mic to women and where they hide newly purchased shoes so their husband would be sure not to find them. And in a week or two they could start wearing such shoes saying, "These? Oh, they're not new. You must not remember them." Caches... -

Hat sponsor

Papa's cap
The gist then is the hat's of practical, perhaps historical interest, but not generally to be worn unless turned to the side like Venus on WKRP. (That pic is a great find!)
