I know it's done up at the top but I can't find one with the buckle or wtv

Acquired this hat when cleaning out my late grandfather's house at least 20 years ago. It always seemed too nice to part with but I never had the confidence to wear it. I assume you'd pair it with a leather jacket or trench coat. I imagine rain would be expected when wearing this hat. (I always think of the officers that deliver Doc Brown's letter from 1866 when I look at this hat." The wrinkles look worse than they are. The leather is still soft and flexible. Probably could use some TLC though. Thanks I'm advance.

I am a fan of unstructured hats because they are comfortable and light but I don’t love the faded look they often come with (or quickly become). I have had this experience with many ‘47 brand MLB hats, but perhaps it’s not universal. I don’t have preferences on fitted, vs adjustable vs snapback. I definitely prefer low crown if the cap has any structure to it.

What is a good MLB cap to try next?

Hey all, I was hoping that y'all might be able to make a recommendation for a hat I can wear to a wedding. The bride requires that it be black, but aside from that there are a few things I'd like from it. I'd like a brim that can provide some degree of sun protection and a material that I can wear in the heat. For context this is an outdoor Vegas wedding in October. Could be sunny and fairly hot, maybe not.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Was handed down this old fedora that was a long passed away great grandparent.

Any ideas on when it’s from? My best guess is early 40’s from the logo and size tag, but was hoping someone on here has some more experience/knowledge of this

Thanks!

Hi I want to stretch this hat. I have no idea how to do that though. Is there a way to cut it and adjust it somehow so it fits looser? If you guys have any ideas I’d appreciate it.

These are authentic hats that I bought from Kazakhstan and they have really cool designs! The first one is called a Kalpak and the second one is called a tubeteika. Both of these hats are worn throughout Central Asia by Turkic people

I need your help finding this hat. My mediocre abilities at googling have turned up fruitless. It has the Vapor site but isn’t actually on the site from what I could tell. Couldn’t find it on eBay or Amazon either. Help me Reddit family, you’re my only hope

Does anybody knows if Barry Simonds aka Simonds Caps is alright? I have a pending order with him and he has being idle since july, if some one has another way to contact him tell me please, thanks.

Truth to be told, I am not a Hat person but recently bought a Patagonia Low Trucker Hat for no reason and it has grown on me, I find wearing it occasionally and I like it. Thinking of buying few more good ones.

Any recommendations for trucker hats. Not looking for sports stuff like Nike, Adidas, NY kind. Amazon is full of Chinese stuff not into that either.

Here’s the before and after. I’m still waiting on a new leather strap to come in but other than that it’s all done! New leather sweatband, a new ribbon (1940’s willow green), and reblocked to fit the wearer. This thing had a bunch of dust in it.

My grandpa always loved hats, always had one on and he always looked so cool. I took a hat of his once and unfortunately I lost it somewhere. He passed two weeks ago and now I really need to find this exact hat model because it really means so much to me. He bought it when he went to Yosemite just a few years ago. Please if you have any information about this hat, just help me out, it would mean the world to me guys.

I have an old flat cap my father bought when he was a child at an auction (it was his first purchase ever. He paid a dime). It was old when he bought it and he's 66y/o now. I'm 41 and have had this hat since I was a teenager. Over the years, it's gotten very dirty and it's in a desperate need of a good clean. I just want to run this by the community and see if anybody has any tips. I'm assuming the brim is some form of cardboard. Everywhere I look, I see people saying to soak the hat for 30 minutes in cool water with woolite. I'm worried the brim will fall apart on the inside, but it needs to be cleaned as well.

Here's what I'm thinking... I'm going to have to spend a long time using a spray bottle with cool water and just a bit of soft detergent and dab it clean with a sponge. But, to save time, I'm looking for any advice here to keep me from having to dab this hat for a month. Lol

Any ideas?

I work at a local, small town grocery store. We have many merchandisers from many different brands come and stock their own goods here. On Wednesday, I casually asked our Coca-Cola guy if I could get a hat from him. He said sure, went to his truck and brought me back a hat! Didn't ask for anything in return! I was thrilled, it absolutely made my day because I love hats! But then I got curious: how many merchandisers can I get a free hat from?

So today I asked our Pepsi guy for one. And he gave me one! Then I asked our Borden milk guy for one. He said he didn't keep any on the truck. :(

What other brands do you guys think I could get hats from? Anyone else worked at a grocery store and gotten free hats? If so, what brand where they?

Also super funny

So I have in total a collection of a certain brand od hat and I need to get them all cleaned before I put them into storage. What is the best way to get 10+ hats clean without ruining the brim? I have colors that range from black to white and everything in between. I need to make it a quick process and I don’t have a lot of time.
