    Changing a vest lining?

    Is it possible to get the back outer lining of a vest changed to a different color by a tailor? How much would something like that cost? If anyone has external information that would render this thread unnecessary just let me know. Thanks. :cheers1:

    My Akubra's Too Big

    With one of my cheaper fedoras I folded a few strips of thick silver duct tape and slipped that in the sweatband. Worked fine and it was free.

    What's your signature hat?

    Brims 2" or less, crowns 4 1/2" or less, mild pinch, center dent, about 1 3/4" ribbon, front snap, and NO feathers. I have way more flat caps than fedoras though.

    Musician's hats

    There is only one musician that is a master of headwear. I give you Thelonious Monk. That is one hip cat.

    Cheers To The Baseball Cap

    I think that many folks' frustration comes from all lot of young adults' attitude about them. I don't live in the safest neighborhood in the world (or the safest city for that matter). I see a lot of kids wearing a sideways ball caps with flat brims with all the tags on it (so we all know...

    Since you shouldn't grab a hat by it's pinch...

    You won't break the hat, however, you risk getting the hat dirty over time. Same goes for the brim too I guess but you could also misshapen the pinch, which isn't the end of the world as you can steam it back into place. I try to pick mine up by the brim when I think about it, but I grab the...

    Please Help This Newbie

    I personally wouldn't. You're hat will smell like a flowery mess. I don't really have any cited reasons why I say no, my gut just says that. I could be very very wrong however. Keep it in the box if you are worried.

    self-concious in my fedora

    I started wearing my first hat, a brown corduroy fedora, when I was 16. Prime age for self-conscious emotions! I think that when you make the decision to start wearing a hat (that's not ball cap) you will inevitably get the people you know staring at you. The people that see you everyday think...

    Will Obama wear a topper for his Inauguration?

    Agreed. I've never seen him in a dress hat so if he wore one his image would be thrown off. It would be the talk of the town. It would probably boost hat sales through the roof but it ain't happening.

    Biltmore hats?

    I like them. I have my eye on this one pork pie Meyer The Hatter has. You're pretty lucky to live where you do.

    The fall of the phone

    The consensus here seems to be mine as well. It's a product that enslaves you to communication as well as helping you. The thing I hate most about cellphones though is text messages. I can see where they would be useful but so many people use text messages as a primary means of communication...

    Hat Sponge? Really?

    Thanks for all the feedback. One (possibly obvious) question. Why one for dark and one for light?

    Show us your vintage home!

    My house was built somewhere in the 1890s. To this day I find things I've never seen. I once was remodeling my bathroom and found a solid brick wall between the sheet rock of the bathroom and a bedroom. That explained why I had huge amounts of trouble hanging anything on that wall. I don't...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I am a massive fan of The Office (both British and American). I last watched the American, but now you have me thinking of watching Fawlty Towers.

    Advice on which hat to wear with black tie please.

    Go for the Stetson. Grey goes fine with black, otherwise your Stetson wouldn't have a black band. :D The grey adds contrast as well.
