I found this hat and am trying to get more information on it but so far not much luck. The only time I even found this brand was on a hat from the 1930's. Can anybody enlighten me a little more on this hat and its value if any? It is a great looking hat in great shape. I want to make sure it is...

My wife is heading to Ddansk Poland this weekend. I found Sterkowski Fedoras online and wondered if anyone has any experience with them. The prices are great and thought I'd see if she could pick one up.

The gentlemen who is selling the Selention Tonak fur felt fedoras on eBay is preparing to list more of the hats. Although I have never met him, I have seen helping him get the word out. I don't have any skin in this game. The hats are new old stock (NOS) and so far the colors have...

I just ran across a nice guy in Riverside, California who stumbled upon a large horde off NOS SELENTINO Tonak 100% fur felt hats he's selling for $40 plus shipping. These look like what the Burlington Coat Factory sold a few years back. Interestingly, he has a lot of hard to find large sizes. Be...

This seems to work on other sites, so I figure that it deserves a shot here. If you've got a quick hat question and don't see a thread for it, just post it here. Whether the question is about cleaning, anatomy of a hat, brands, etc., this is the place. Here's one to break the ice.

Hi folks Are the techniques for reshaping the brim and crease on a wool/fur Fedora the same as a fur one? I've been researching steaming and bashing on the net, and they all show fur hats being converted. So, I'm wondering if I should use the same methods on my wool/fur crushable? cheers

Here is another great fedora from Bates hats of London I'm selling. Size 61. Paid £245 in 2012 for it, which was over $350. Asking $215 shipped CO US with hat box (not from Bates). Sent from my SM-N910T3 using Tapatalk

Selling my rarely worn Bates Walker in Olive I bought 2013. Size 60. Paid £245 at the time, which was over $350 at the time. Great hat, just never really wear it. Asking $215 shipped CO US with hat box (not from Bates). Sent from my SM-N910T3 using Tapatalk

Grandpa gave me a few hats and he says he thinks this is from around the 50's but not sure. I could find no similar hat made by Richman Brothers. It says capri on the inside and again nothing similar and i've been scooping around a while. Ive been told its really rice but just looking for...

I’m thinking about using Pomade or similar in my hair soon, I’ve seen it mentioned here that some products can damage hats. So I have a few related questions; what products have a potentially adverse effect on a hat? What do these consist of specifically? And which will not harm a hat, if...

I bought this size 7 hat new about 12 years ago, with several others and I only wore it a couple of times. Looks like new, and comes in a Stetson box. $75 or best offer. I live near Chicago - if you would like to try it on! Cheers!

Never worn Resistol "Cross Plains" self-conforming silver hat. Currently shaped for western, but can be reshaped into fedora. Saw a successful example of this sold here. Needs reshaping regardless though. 7 1/8 long oval, 3X beaver. Hat is in superb condition. Marked as sold at the Klamath...

Greetings everyone. I noticed that there is not at time of writing a dedicated review on this hat on this forum so thought I would post one: My Akubra Bogart in Carbon Grey: I've had this hat for about six months and really love it. It has a 64mm brim with bound edge, 38mm ribbon band, and...

Morning Gents I just bought a vintage Knox New York blue fedora from a charity shop. Is anyone an expert in knox hats and can give me more info on it? I'm guessing its old due to the label and size (56). Also says made in Japan under license with the codes KMC & 390. Any help would be awesome...

I am looking for a good quality Foldable, Packable,Rollable or Crushable Fur Felt Fedora. Does anything exist like this? And if so where can I get one? Thanks

hi guys. I'm a fedora lover who happens to be in an old time, country, skiffle duo.. I hope you don't mind me sharing this but we recently recorded a live session of one of our numbers and thought I'd share it here... If this kind of thing is frowned upon please feel free to remove it. If not, I...

I don't seem to be able to find a place to answer this. On the high end hats like the more expensive Borsalino hats. What are those shiny grosgrain ribbons made of? Is it 100% Polyester A mix of cotton and rayon? Is it silk? Or something third? Does anybody know?

Hi everyone, I'm a college student trying to not fit into the typical college look. I love fedoras, but going to a party and walking around campus in a full suit doesn't appeal to me. I have found that matching summer clothing with straw fedoras is relatively easy and looks decent, but I'm...

Hi everyone! I'm getting ready to block my first full open crown hat. End result will be something akin to an Akubra Fed IV and hand bashed into something akin to an Indy hat, though with a slightly shorter crown. As I look around at different sites for my base material, the one question I...
