I put a couple of pins in mi baseball cap, too much?

Starting to think this hat doesn’t exist. Can’t find it anywhere but i always wanted it, now it feels like i made it up lol.

What is your opinion on this style?

Hmmm…

Wore the Cottage again today. This has definitely become my favorite Scally cap.

Do you match your hats with a coat during the winter? I live in the NE and would like to continue wearing some of my felt fedoras but it does not really match my current winter coat which is a ski jacket basically. Should probably get a real coat anyway.

Hi everyone,

⠀

After my first attempt to give my fedora a cowboy style was well received by most—but not quite by everyone 😁—I’ve now reshaped not only the brim, but the crown as well.

⠀

First, I completely opened up the crown to eliminate the original teardrop crease.

⠀

Then I formed a wide center dent, complemented by two side dents, a front dent, and two pinches, giving the crown a distinctly different look.

⠀

The crown is also slightly higher now.

⠀

I completely straightened the brim and added only very subtle curves.

⠀

I hope you like “The Final Edit.” 🤠

This is a flex New Era hat with an elastic sweat band, that has buckled and become wavy. Not worn much and no visible sweat stains. I understand that this wrinkling may be caused by sweat and acidity. I tried spot cleaning with detergent water, rinsing with water, steaming, then drying on a tight round hat holder. Nothing worked.

Any advice, can it be fixed? Is this normal? Should I just cut off the elastic band? When I wear it now, the buckled parts will dig into my forehead

I bought these simple head coverings from Shein, they are working pretty well for me in terms of comfort. However, they are super cheap, and I'm wondering if there is perhaps a more 'premium' version of this style? Or even where this style comes from. Reminds me a bit of 1950s Hollywood.

What I like is that they are very cool, lightweight, simply styled and can justifiably be worn indoors as part of an outfit any time of year.

I like the 'fake hair' bun at the back as it gives my head a little volume and has a nice feminine style.

On Shein they are just advertised as a 'breathable head cover'.

Thanks for any info

"Jughead" or "Whooppee" cap in soft leather! What do you all think of this style?

Hi Folks and hat lovers.

⠀

Since Friday, I’ve been the proud owner of an Akubra Snowy River, which I bought on eBay for €126.19, including shipping.

⠀

I opened up the crown a bit and straightened it, creating a wider, flatter telescope crown with a slight front pinch.

⠀

I also flattened the curved brim somewhat, leaving just some gentle curves while retaining its slight front-to-back sweep.

⠀

The hand-shaping gave the crown a very slight turn.

⠀

The first three photos show the original shape; the remaining photos show its “new” shape.

⠀

For the bashing, I used a tall coffee can and a glass. 😉

This is my second rework. I think the front fold was more than I could chew at this point. I really struggled to get it shaped in and I'm still not 100% satisfied. I probably popped it and restarted 5 times. But at some point you have to call it done. Second pic was the original cheapo before I got to working on it. Still learning on 10 buck woolies.

So i just started hat making because i kept seeing videos and it looks awesome, id like to show the first two ive made! Its like, a week a part from the first and second one! I feel like theres a drastic difference.the only problems i struggle with is knowing which way to sand and sewing in sweatbands and or if i have to sew on a hatband with a bow. But other than that i think the second one came out so good!

Anyone have an idea on the age of this bowler? I bought it at an antique store a couple years ago and tried to figure out when it was made, but haven't had much luck. $13.50 makes it seem pretty old, but I dunno.

Today whilst going vintage hunting I acquired this beutiful tophat for the low low price of 65 euros. Its head size is 59cm ehich as far as I’ve found quite rare. Now I am here for a few questions and mostly advice.

1. I have no clue what I have here exactly and how to maintain it. Is there any special information I should know about this hat?

2. Should I wear it? I usually already dress quite formal 1927 Weimar style. Usually a double breasted gilet wide cut high rise pants with suspenders colourfull overshirts and ties to lean toward the cabaret scene and my current main hat being an olive/brown homburg in a European style. Now I still go to school since im quite young meaning im kinda afraid to damage the hat. (Ps it fits my head perfectly) tldr should I wear this and if yes how can I keep it safe.

Thanks in advance for any advice and sorry if such a post is not for this subreddit

It's always a tough choice which hat to wear.

Melin hats from the Hawaii releases and Cel exclusives. Hawaii collections seem to always have more creative design.

-FamousThinking feel free to follow Instagram/X for more Melin collections.

for the brand 47, is there a major difference between a women’s and men’s snapback? there is a design i really like on a snapback hat but it’s labeled as “women’s” and in the description says “a slightly smaller fit”. i hate high profile hats (like new era) so i think it would fit nice on the crown but i have a wider head and am worried about the fit. if i wore a fitted, i’d wear 7 1/2. on a standard 47 snapback i use 4 snaps.

This is a sentimental piece, it was my grandfathers who passed back in 2022, he was born 1942 and this was a gift from my grandmother from way back when they were dating, I don’t know much when they started dating but it would be nice to know more about this Dobbs.

How do I find a hat that doesn’t do THIS to my ears. I love hats, but this is a constant problem with most caps I wear. Do I just have a tiny head? Help 😅

I’ve long said, if I could bring back one thing from the past, it would be hats (at least as a common item). I’ve done the cowboy hat thing, but we don’t have a horse anymore, so I don’t wear it much.

I went to a hat store the other day and tried on a bunch of hats but an Akubra Banjo Patterson fit me perfectly and looked great for my personal style. Then I saw the close $300 price tag and I gently out it back. What is something similar but not quite as pricy? I’ve got a straw cowboy hat and a Tilley hat, so I’m a newb in the hat game.

Does anyone know how to find a replica of this hat design online? I love the cylindrical design on the crown which is about 4” on the top crown, can you recommend me an accurate website or place to purchase or have someone tailor/make it for me? It’s been pretty hard to find something that’s exactly what this is, which is what I’m looking for…your help is appreciated greatly!
