    Thank you. If you’re unsure with your experience then I’m clueless. Looks like these hats have to be seen on site. If Graham is going to forget requests like the previous poster experienced then I don’t know if I want to add the airfare price to the hat. Lol

    So are all their hats by default 100% beaver belly?

    Amazing find and story. Better you than me as the caretaker of this nice hat. I am just some guy in California and have a few vintage hats. I would probably be watering my yard with it.

    Man I’m sorry to hear about your experience. How does going to the store work? Do they have every size of every hat on display? Or do they measure you go over a few things and you receive the hat in a few weeks ?

    Man needed hat to to do yard work in that's why I bought it. I was thinking about using a 60's Borsa for yard work but I have a vintage Stetson for that till it finally falls apart. Working around the house and running to the store hat.

    What is up with the horrible quality in the modern hats and I am talking about 2000-present? I have recently purchased a new to me hat and compared it to my older hats. My goodness it feels like a different brand. You can't even dry shape it without steam and the crown is stiff but the brim...

    I think I may have it figured out. Some hats I may give to my brother and the rest will go to charity such as Hats for Homeless. People usually donate caps and beanies for them to keep warm and I have some felt fedoras that can keep them warm. The not so desirable ones but good condition. As...

    The history of Lee hats?

    Is this the company that made the Brent hats for Montgomery Ward. It’s a house brand and made men’s clothing and accessories and the brand’s full name is Carol Brent.

    At that point they are selling jewelry and not hats. What is your opinion on Optimo?

    After that I’m most likely to get rid of all my hats and keep some of the old Borsalinos and call it a day. Thank you for this. Now I may justify two hats when I can finally visit the shop.

    No. You can afford it and you know it. It just seems outrageous for a hat. I’m getting one but I have to see when I can fly to Chicago.

    Yea but I like to see the hats in various colors and condition. I can then gauge how the hats will or can age.

    From my understanding you start off with beaver as default felt. I did not know that in reference to the silver belly color. Geez you just ruined it for me. I won’t get that color unless it is from the belly then. Interesting. I’m assuming the silver belly color would involve nothing but...
