Replacement GH 500X
Those of you who have been around for a time may remember that I some time ago purchased and received a 500X silver belly from Charlie. Upon receipt of this visually dazzling hat, I posted pictures and my impressions of it. While I was generally pleased with my new GH lid, I became... -

New 500X Sterling Beaver
On April 7, I ordered a 500X pure beaver belly hat from Charlie Swindall/Gladhatter. Well, it arrived yesterday, and I must say that the quality of the hat is simply incomparable. The attention to detail in the pursuit of perfection demonstrated by Charlie was nothing short of amazing. From... -

New Cury Especial
I just received a new Cury Especial that was recommended to me by a friend and fellow forum member. This was an Ebay offer that I picked up for the BIN price of $69. This item, due to my less than expansive knowledge of hats, would have been neglected had its merits not been pointed out to me... -

Interesting Article
This Cigar Aficionado article, "The Finest Fedoras" by Harry Rosenholtz was published in 1997 and has probably been read by many of you. As a newbie, however, I found it quite interesting and thought that perhaps others who had not yet read it might also enjoy it. -

Borsalino Info
After I've sufficiently recovered from my recent hat buying binge, I'd like to buy a decent beaver fedora. I found this Borsalino Beaver Fedora online at the Village Hat Shop, but they don't say much about it. Can anyone provide information on the quality of this hat, as well as whether the... -

I'm considering an Akubra Federation Deluxe through hatsdirect.com; however, I was unable to find anywhere on the hatsdirect.com site the composition of this particular hat. Can anyone provide this information and/or (for those who may own one) his impression of this hat? Thanks, Ray K. -

Aussie Outback Hat?
Gentlemen: May I first beg your collective pardon for my abysmal ignorance of hats. I'm unfamiliar with the cant of hat afficionados, but aspire to improvement. If I should insult your sensibilities by my relative ignorance, please bear with me. I've recently purchased a Montecristi...
