Re: The perfect hat

###### Marc, after two and a years you've only just put my hat in the post and now you're saying that you've achieved something far better. :x

Next you'll be telling me that Rob's is the coolest Indy hat you've ever made. :x

Nice lid. I'm looking forward to mine arriving. :D

Re: Duster...

If you're going for a Belstaff Trialmaster then try to hunt down the motorbike version rather than the fashion version. This is because: (1) The motorcycle jacket is actually quite a bit cheaper, at least in the UK: (2) It feels significantly more durable than the fashion range model. Belstaff also ...

Re: somewhat OT: the ultimate A-2 repro?

I can't mess with that Front Quarter Horsehide. I'm in Texas, so it isn't even an option anyway. I've seen photos of those FQHH jackets standing up on their own, and that just scares me!

Re: Roll up AB? Video...

Slight hijack here, but what are the differences in construction between a roll-up hat and a, err, non-rollable one? I'm guessing it comes down to the presence or absence of both the reed and shellac in the felt. Is there anything else, such as the grade or weight of the felt? How does the lack of a...

Re: Is Marc Kitter here?

Thanks for posting that Steve. Both myself and my brother have hats on order with Marc, and we're somewhere near to the front of the queue. Neither of us have been able to reach him, and I was getting a bit worried that he'd been ill or suffered some other misfortune. Glad to hear that he's well, an...
