Re: If only one...

An interesting question. If all film hats count, including ones that don't have a following like Indy, there are infinite possibilities. This is a tough question because so many hats come to mind. Obviously almost all the indy hats, Bogey's hat in Casablanca, Jimmy Stewart's hat in Harvey and in The...

Re: Thanks John for the hatbox.....

The reason why I said stickers is because I have a lot of stickers on my laptop and such and i've been saving the middle of my laptop for a good sticker. AB came to mind when I saw that hatbox. Definitely considering the hatbox once I see a price.

Re: BEST FEDORA BRUSH?

got a brush from JJ hat center in NY for $9 bucks, but the price has been bumped up to 12 since I've been there.

The picture they posted on their site is off though. The brush I got from JJ looks more like Penman's brushes.

Agreed.

The hatter that made Pres. Bush's western hat, gets 8 grand for one, if you want a copy. And he is backlogged a year!! :shock: Blows my mind. Fedora
