Boater faction!
I bought one of their boaters (Tesi) this summer. Lots of compliments. You are going to enjoy it very much. -
STEP BY STEP NAPTHA BATH
Anyone ever try to clean a hat with xylene? I use it to get the rosin off my bass when it gets built up. Works well for that, though it strips the polish off and you have to polish up the finish after cleaning. -

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
I just joined the "Borsalino Club" for the first time today. Went to a local antiques dealer and found a nice, brown and in mint condition hat. Could not believe it fit, too. It is serikon felt with the original price tag and store listed on it. It was purchased in Detroit at the Jacobson's... -
The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard
This thread was more fun when there were stories with witty comebacks rather than discussions about what was being worn at the time of the insult. I vote to get back to the main idea of this thread. The rest is :offtopic: This use to be one of my favorite threads. -
What do you think of modern "Street/Punk" Fedoras?
Soon they will tire of the stingy brims and want something "new." Then large brims will be all the rage. Hmmmm...I am a leader of fashion and ahead of the curve! :eusa_doh: -
Henry the Hatter
HTH Henry the Hatter in the movie? Now I have to go see it. HTH is a fantastic place! It has been around since the date you indicated, though it has changed owners a few times. I get all my new hats there and take in the old ones if anything needs to be repaired, cleaned or blocked. It... -
Boater faction!
Happy 4th of July Holiday Weekend. Great time to wear the boaters. Wore mine the whole time. Today I went to Greektown in Detroit. Got 4 compliments and only one obvious snicker. But, that came from a teenage boy wearing a tee shirt down to his knees with his shorts ending just below that, a... -

Sweatband Mesh
The material must still be available somewhere. I bought a newTesi boater this summer with that exact kind of sweatband in it. [huh] -
My new Stetson Firenze is stiff as a board
I have an Akubra that I bought and it was one size too small. 56 instead of 57. Loved the hat and they did not have a size larger. Years later, and not wearing it much because it was alway just "a little too tight," I used a hat jack to stretch it..a lot. Unfortunately, it had a leather hat... -
Side by side comparisons- Firenze vs Dexter
The Firenze is the same shape as the Stetson Temple. I like my Firenze so much, now I want a Temple for cooler weather.;) -
Side by side comparisons- Firenze vs Dexter
I received this hat as a Christmas gift. Black. Got it at Henry the Hatter. A great hat with lots of style. It was one of my 'go to hats" all winter long. -
Happy Father's Day
Happy Father's Day, all you guys out there (that are fathers, anyway) How about sharing a hat story about your father? I remember that my father had two hats in the front closet. When he saw that I was curious about them, he got them out and informed me of the difference between them... -

Boater faction!
I really like wearing the boater. Hey, it's a nice warm and sunny time of year, and the boater makes me happy! I get lots of smiles. Seems to make other people happy, too. On occaision, I get the "Barbershop Quartet" comment. Can you sing barbershop? Thinking I can't ...or won't. But I... -
The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

Boater faction!
Good to know I am not the only one. One person did ask me if I was going to get a cane with it. I told him that was for Fred Astaire and that he was confusing me with someone athletic. He laughed. Again, all in good fun.
