Snagged a Gary White
Bought myself a Gary White hat on Ebay. Pristine, and the most lovely soft felt you can imagine. A deep indigo that becomes a charcoal grey from more than three feet away. Anyway, it was mistakenly advertised as an Optimo (the consignment store changed that after re-examining it) and mistakenly... -

Stetson bummer from Miller
Ordered a Stetson "Murphy" from Miller Hats recently. Disappointment. The color in real life is considerably darker than what's displayed on the website. The felt is starched to near-cardboat stiffness, and the size, while marked 61, or 7 5/8, was considerably snugger than my Pinnacle, which... -

Brown Fed IV Deluxe, 7 5/8 SOLD
Bought from Hats Direct and bashed with a teardrop crown. The best felt they make. This hat cost AU$206, or about $186US, shipped, plus the five per cent credit card fee, total of nearly $200. Am asking $110 shipped. Perfect condition, worn perhaps three times. Just doesn't look right on me.- Neil

Art Fawcett beauty
This is Art's "Sportaire" model, in dark moss. Pure beaver. Diamond bash. 7 5/8. Note the neat red vertical stripe in the bow. This hat has never been worn outside the house. A high, relatively untapered crown just doesn't work on me. You all know what the hat cost:$305, plus shipping. I will...- Neil

Sterling Beaver Hat Company?
Anyone know a bit more about this fellow? He has some EBay presence, and under the name "Gladhatter" he has posted a gallery of pretty nice looking hats. But no prices, no felt swatches, and no website I can find. He describes himself as the world's only "ultra-custom bespoke hatmaker." Wow. -

Good old Neil
Don't know how many of you have seen this little gem. He posted it about a month ago. http://www.neilyoung.com/forkintheroad/forkintheroadvideo.html And note the hat. Suitably flipped-up, uneven brim. Love the guy. Saw him last spring in DC and hope to do so again someday. -

The economic nightmare
Just wondering how the various quality hatmakers we all appreciate are standing up to the economic misery. My observation is that well-established suppliers to niche markets are doing okay. But hats are a luxury, and that GQ-spotted trend back toward men's headwear, I suspect, is probably... -

Brand new pure beaver 7 5/8
Stetson Pinnacle, never worn. Re-blocked by Vince Corvelli in Bethesda, Md. to a "C" crown. Vince also installed a lovely grey ribbon in place of the original black. This hat is black. Pure beaver. Goes for $325 on up in stores. Lovely, but it just doesn't suit my head. Asking $120 plus...- Neil

Optimo visit
Am in Chicago on business, and visited Optimo. For those of you who have only been to the website, here's the scoop. Very classy, luxe, minimalist setting, quite a way from downtown, where my hotel is. A wall of felt hats, mainly fedoras, and strangely, more Panamas than felts. Felt hats... -

Jimmy Pierce
Does anybody know what the deal is with Jimmy Pierce? I had an order in with him, and everything seemed fine. But I've been trying to contact him for a few weeks to alter the shipping address. No acknowledgement of emails, no returned phone calls. Nothing. I finally just gave up on the order... -

Panamas from the weavers
I see some of the weavers in Montecristi. . .Homero Ortega, as an example. . .are selling direct to public, bypassing their American intermediaries. Has anyone bought directly? Good, bad experiences?
