cleaning a soiled beaver felt hat.
Hey folks, Got a common problem here, but I thought I'd let you know the specifics just in case. I was out swing dancing with my VS custom beaver felt when I decided to dip myself at the end for comic effect. Whoops, there goes my hat! Double whoops! Now I've tread on it with my shoe. There... -
The coat I wish I could afford
I'm always looking for a coat unlike the run-of-the-mill overcoats you find in stores. I want something long and billowy, with a slim fitting cut. Then I was introduced to the cult film "Withnail and I" starring Richard E Grant. Aside from being incredibly funny, I was immediately struck by...- The Lark

Dressing for silverbelly
Okay, my Silverbelly VS is on the way so I've got to start planning my new wardrobe to match. :P Now, I've read that some people prefer to contrast their silverbelly hats against a dark suit, but I think I'd rather go with complimentary colours. I've already got a dark charcoal suit and... -
Lindy Hop
I was just wondering how many of you vintage lovers have an interest in swing dancing? I take 4 classes a week learning to Charleston, 6-Beat and Lindy Hop. Totally hooked.- The Lark

The 'loose' look.
Hi all, So I'm debating whether to get a hat in a size too big deliberately, perhaps to evoke a sort of goofy, vagabond look. I've tried on a few hats at my local hatter in a size too big just to see how it felt, and it wasn't bad (although it varied from hat to hat). Do any of you do... -
Dove Gray vs Silverbelly
I'm in talks with a Sydney based hat maker to create a custom replica of Mr Johnny Depp's silver belly hat (oh yes, THAT one). However, she has Dove Gray felt in stock. I was wondering about whether I should go with that. Silver belly is an oddity because it seems a warm color under soft or... -
Do you own more Beaver Felt or Fur Felt hats?
I've only really experienced rabbit fur felt in my hats thus far. I don't think I've taken the time to get a feel for beaver felt and see if it is worth the extra cost. Which material do you own more of and which do you prefer? Do you deliberately save your pennies for the beaver, or are you... -
Caribou Gray
I find this colour very confusing. I want to order a Stetson Whippet (cheapest I've found is here) - http://www.bencrafthats.com/product.php?pid=442&subcname=Stetson However, I've looked at lots of images of 'caribou gray' hats and the tone of colour varies significantly from photo to photo... -
I know this has come up before but...
For the life of me, I can't work out what model of Borsalino this hat is. Google has not helped me I want its dimensions so I can consider getting a custom replication (possibly for cheaper if the original model is too expensive). Can anybody tell me what this hat is called? -

Has anyone been tempted to buy...
After a bit of searching, I found the two hats that Johnny Depp wears. They are quite a nice shape with the high crown and all. http://www.caliqo.com/findex.html?http&&&www.caliqo.com/johnny_depp_fedora.html... -
A question on steaming
Hullo! I joined this site after getting my first proper hat a couple of days back (a carbon grey Akubra "Bogart"), yay! After I took it home I realized that the brim wasn't quite as symmetrical as I would have preferred and the front might have look nicer at a lower angle, so I took it...
