2014年6月8日 · Hopefully this isn't redundant, but I've done some looking around on the site and for some reason failed to find a 'definitive' list of custom, bespoke fur felt Fedora hatmakers. There is some crossover with "Western" hatters, but for this list, I'll try and stick to the ones that make fedoras specifically (and have them listed on their site ...

2013年10月29日 · Glad you like you hat! Borsalino maintained quality longer than most makes. If your interested, I was able to remove the “Borsalino” branding in the bow keeper with just a Q-Tip and rubbing alcohol.

Barbisio Founded in 1862, Barbisio was a classic Italian manufacturer in the Cervo Valley, and a competitor of Borsalino.

2006年3月19日 · Thanks, Brad, I may just do that. I went back to the hat just now and, as I'm a perfectionist, I realize it's not nearly as "bad" as I thought it was. But I also realize what my thinking is: it strikes me that when you snap a fedora brim down in front (up in back), the spot where it turns from up-facing to down-facing should be flat.

2006年9月13日 · HELP !!!! I'm doing a revision of an old brown Resistol cowboy hat (See "Stetson 4X to be given new life" thread) and need help with the ribbon hatband...

2006年6月6日 · Hat stiffener... I use spray 'Sizing' which leaves no sticky residue. I have sprayed it on first so that the felt hat is moist but not soaked. Then I steam the hat and shape. When the heat evaporates the the moisture the shape and stiffness remains. The brand I use is 'Faultless' and I can get it at the dollar store! -dixon cannon

2009年3月20日 · The easiest way to resize a hat is to get some hat sizing foam to put under the sweatband. This method usually works for size differences 1/4" or less. If you need to take the hat down a full size or more, you may want to try something else. Here is an example of sizing foam and here is a nice product that I like to use: the CAP-BAN-NU.

2015年12月20日 · This one is made in China and imported through Brooklyn. The hat is really, really stiff, more like a bowler rather than a fedora. These hats are made to sit higher on the head than a fedora might, so keep that in mind if you're ever thinking of getting one. The resting line on your head plus the hard felt means they're not forgiving size-wise.

2008年1月9日 · Beat me to it. I was going to say that a rubberized fabric or oil cloth would probably be the best material for rain...but it would look like hell as a fedora. I know there are several waterproof'ers on the market (Scotchguard and the like, and there was one mentioned in a hat post just in the last two or three months).
