    What's the smallest size vintage motorcycle (cross zip) you've seen? Does 32 exist?

    After deciding a 38 ICS Pakistan jacket was far too boxy, I did a good amount of research and decided I wanted to try an Excelled. I was thrilled to find a 34 and bought it for an expected price. Cleaned it really well. I'm finding that it also is rather boxy. The arms and body length are...

    Vintage Leather Jacket, Cracked or Normal?

    I've found this vintage jacket for sale for a reasonable deal, and it's hard to find my size (slim person). I am just wondering whether the leather on the front side looks cracked, or whether that was just - give or take - how the leather looked from the start. If it's damage, is it repairable...

    WTB: 7 1/4 or 7 3/8 Liner (preferably Stetson)

    Looking for a liner for my 1950s Royal De Luxe Stetson- it has been missing since I found the hat. It can be an unmarked liner. I bought a half yard of satin to make a lining, but I can't find a sewing pattern. Found a good price on a liner on etsy, but it is $30+ shipping! If anyone can just...

    Wanted: Lining (7 1/4 - 7 3/8) for 1950s Royal De Luxe Stetson [or any blank liner]

    Hi all, I'm excited to wear my hat that I've been refurbishing, but I'd like to have a liner in before doing so. Any liner will do, but it would be great if it was something period correct. A blank liner is fine for the time being. I'd prefer it not to say Goorin Bros. or something far off the...

    WTB: Any vintage black fur felt fedora, 2⅜" or 2¼" brim, modest taper (head size 58.3 cm)

    After 2 years of searching for what seemed like a pretty standard hat, I'm posting here as a last resort. I won't even specify ribbon or crown height; I'll work with what ever. Ideally: vintage dress weight black felt (beaver seems like it's out of the realm of possibility, but I prefer it)...

    Looking for 1½" Vintage Grosgrain Ribbon

    Hi, I'm looking for 1½" (or maybe 1 9/16") vintage grosgrain ribbon to put on my hat. Prefer a salvaged ribbon where the bow is already done (I forgot how to make a bow, honestly), but a yard will do if not. Need it to be vintage, as the cotton/rayon blend conforms to the hat, unlike the...

    Wanted: Vintage Black Grosgrain, ~1-11/16"

    Looking for a small amount (enough for one hat) of black vintage (cotton/rayon blend) grosgrain ribbon in about 1⅝" (slightly more than 1½", but under 1¾"). 1½" will do in a pinch. Thanks in advance !!

    WTB: Any Vintage Black Fedora w/ Big Proportions

    I'm looking for any black fedora with a big crown, in a big size, with a wide brim, or some combination thereof (to be converted down to a 6" untapered OC, 2¼" brim, 7 ¼, as I've given up finding one that perfectly matches my specs). The more vintage the better, beaver if possible. Depending...

    WTB: 7 1/4 or Larger (Wide Brim/Tall Crown) Black Vintage Beaver Dress Weight Felt

    Brim Trim - Will 1/8" Make a Noticeable Difference?

    I'm in the midst of making a difficult decision - whether to trim down some width off my brim. I love my hat, it fits perfectly and the crown meets all my preferred aesthetics, I swapped the band out myself, and it is incredible that it fell into my lap for such a bargain at an antique shop. So...

    On Vintage Hat Bands (PSA: Salvage Them If Ever Tossing Out a Hat!)

    I've been raving about my newfound hat here lately, and it just got better! I dated it via some internet research, and it turns out it is older than I suspected. One thing I intend to do is swap out the current band - a braided leather one - and replace it with a proper ribbon. I have made...
