Ok I have been considering that as I saw a guy on youtube do that, but he said the sweatband had issues, otherwise fine. Thanks for the quick response.

Curious about lounge etiquette, how long should I wait for somebody to pay me for a hat that was sold on the classified section?

 

[former member2024]

longliving, crushable felt hat with 2 1/4" brim width (!) wanted. tough buiseness, they usually come in 2 1/2" or 2". Any style close a filson tin cloth is aceptable.

Sugestions?

that may get around the VAT
other wise an Akubra

Is there a function somewhere in the new FL format to reduce the page size (page content) without having to change the "zoom" on my computer and then change it back when I leave FL?

Not sure what you're trying to find out, Richard. Are you concerned about lingering odor after giving a hat a naphtha bath?

Your call. Let the buyer know your expectation, and proceed accordingly. 24 hours might be nice, but it is up to you.

My two cents as a newby: Ebay allows three days, so I would.

Its best if you have an agreement beforehand.

Mystic; in Firefox there is an add on to the browser to set custom zoom levels.
i was using "zoom page 14.0" go to tools and search for add ons using page zoom.
it sets a zoom level for a specified page
Explorer doesn't play nice

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping the forum had an option. Don't want to change my computer around to accommodate one website.

Seems when I make major changes on my computer I end up with a host of unwanted surprises that takes forever to straighten out.

Hello gentlemen, nice to find a thread that caters to my total ignorance of hats.
I am mostly a cap wearer, and I don't really see myself wearing a fedora well.
But I saw this in a 1940s film and thought 'i can pull that off'





Is it a trilby? Suede? Specifics would be most welcome.

Cheers

Hi all! I've been a hat wearer for a few years now but have mostly stuck with straw trilby styled hats. I'm looking at purchasing a proper hat and thought you guys could help me out by telling what sort of hat this young fellow is wearing in this photo. I really like this style...

 

[hatsRme]

From the "Ask a question, get an answer" thread, that's something of a 40's style fedora. Nice tall crown with little or no taper, and about a 2-5/8" brim. Go get one!!!

 

[Lean'n'mean]

Yeah it looks like a fairly wide brimmed (2 1/2 inches maybe) fedora with the front of the brim snapped up.
