I have a question. So I have a flat cap that's top area got stretched upwards, so it's not really a "flat" cap anymore. Any way I can reshape it back?

Anyone dealt with Outland USA seller on Amazon?

They've got some deals that make me scratch my head. Like this brand new Stetson Dune for $138 with free shipping. They claim that they're not factory seconds.

This is common with some Amazon sellers. Notice how the price changes based on size. I suspect that they are overstock items, but I don’t know that. Their prices for some sizes are no better than other retail shops:

Welcome Florida... Florida boy here myself.

Appears the be a short brim fedora likely from the 60s. Probably just under a 2 inch brim. Depending on hat size. That particular one looks like it might have a Cavanagh edge on its brim. Might be similar to a Knox Flying cloud. Or a Dobbs Royal coachman.

Akubra Hampton in custom colour cruiser grey is very similar. Short brim (tad under 2inch or 48mm) pretty much a stingy or very close to, Hampton come bog standard with a greenish band and brim trim. If you had no brim trim and a black band it'd be almost bang on.

Really nice lid IMPO, I'm a bit over massive brims atm.

Well. If in fact that is a Cavanagh edge on that hat. They haven’t really been made in mass production since the 60s or early 70s. So vintage would be the way to go. Ebay in that case.

new... with I believe an underwelt brim... something like a Dobbs Jet 707. In Saber color would be close in styling.

Very short brims came into fashion in the 1960s. Also true of the 30s. However in my opinion shorter prim hats of the 30s had taller crowns.

Short brims are also a hallmark of cheaply made hats sold in stores like target today so they can get a bad rep by some

Good to know and I get my hats off of good quality hat brands I hate those Walmart and target ones cuz they’re costume material

Here's a photo of the Akubra Hampton in cruiser grey, lighting isn't quite right and colour looks slightly different in better light.

Just used my phone to snap the photo, normally doesn't have that purple tinge. Just a nice mid to light grey depending on the lighting. Also please forgive my personal choice of bling, lol. I do it to all my poor hats.

Hats by the 100 has a mixed record with shipping to the US. Several folks have experienced issues, including an inadequately sized box.

Hatsdirect is a reputable seller as is everything Australian, though the latter often has longer lead times because they don't have all models in stock.
