$15 hat pic/question
Found the 7 1/2 below at a resale shop. Unbelievably dirty at first; soaking in naptha helped but only did so much. Still needs lots of work. Original sweat was literally disintegrating at a touch - between that and the grime I got it for $15. But with no holes or damage anywhere, I figured... -

Vintage hat form question
Local antique store has a wooden 7 3/8 hat form. I took the pieces apart and examined them - it appears to be in excellent shape (and the dome was a dead match for the 7 3/8 I happened to be wearing). I'm wondering what is the most those of you who have them, or would consider buying them... -

Fun way to waste 5 minutes and $1
I'm still very impressed by the recent thread on transgendering hats. So on a whim, I picked up a woman's wool hat today at a resale shop. Didn't think to take before pics - it was just a wide brimmed, flat topped, low crowned woman's hat with a really bad ribbon (pretty thick feeling wool... -

Need ribbon color suggestions
Found a nice wool felt fedora in a dark greenish-brownish color...more greenish than anything, at least in the sunlight...almost a tweedy looking hat but isn't. (confused yet?) Anyway, it has a dark copper/dirty penny colored ribbon that works ok colorwise but, due to the sheen, seems a bit too... -

"New" store in Dayton, OH
Heard the last half of a new radio ad for Price Store in Datyon (old store that apparently has reopened after remodeling). Called them to ask about hats; the man said they carry Dobbs, Stetson, Scalia and others. Sounds like straight retail - not a hat shop per se, but might be worth a visit if... -

Mystery hat (to me, anyway)
I have a hat along the lines of an Open Road, only it probably was a lower cost copy - no lining inside, unfinished edge. Still a darn fine hat. Anyway, the only mfg ID visible is what's left of a mostly rubbed off stamp inside the unfinished crown. Ornate kind of script; pretty sure the... -

removed ribbon imprint Q
Just de-ribboned my brand new hat in order to (maybe) dye and then re-ribbon it this weekend. So far so good, but there's a faint line from (I assume) the pressure of the ribbon I just removed. At a glance it resembles fading but isn't. I'm hoping a light brushing of the hat in a steamy... -

New guy, new hat, old question
Hello! I'm Flatch; long/short, I just turned 40 the other day and decided that it was time to give the ballcaps a break and get the hat I always wanted. I did some looking around and ordered the gray Jaxon Bogart, which should be here next week. Closest thing I have otherwise is a Bay Hat Co...
