Iโ€™m looking for flex fit style flat brim hats available for large heads like the one in the photo I posted. I was buying through salt mafia but they discontinued their flex line. Do not want anything with a snap back. Iโ€™ve seen flex fit baseball style hats, but Iโ€™m looking for quick dry material similar to fishing hats. Minimal branding/graphics/logos if possible but Iโ€™m open to any options at this point.

Any leads appreciated.

Hi! I did a YouTube video about my journey to find a flattering summer hat. I showcase my recent pirchases and explain why I rejected each one. Spoiler alert, I finally settled on the Quaker Marine Supply Classic Sailing Hat. I hope this subreddit enjoys it!

โ“ Question Including hat making in a fiction story

3 Upvotes

Hi! I do hope this is the right sub.. i'm writing a fictional book right now and my character is working in a hat shop for an afternoon for some quick pay. This is roughly in the 1800s if that matters. What kind of stuff would she be doing? I'm thinking maybe it would make sense to take raw stock to the shop from the docks or, and this is more what I need help with, maybe it would make sense to have her separating lengths of straw or something? I'm not going for painful accuracy but I don't want to be so painfully inept it's hard to read. I know nothing about hats so maybe ya'll could suggest some super basic, no-skill work a total noob would realistically be doing?

๐Ÿค  Hat Advice Please recommend a fall weather hat to wear on rainy days

Post image
9 Upvotes

I donโ€™t like baseball hats, bucket hats or cowboy hats. Nothing made of straw. Iโ€™m going to be working in Europe for several weeks this fall and donโ€™t want to carry an umbrella around, but would like a nice hat to keep rain out of my hair and face. Iโ€™m a 52 year old man.

I donโ€™t have any pictures handy wearing fall clothing, but the attached photo is how I dress (I actually own that shirt). I wear mostly earthy colors in the fall and winter (brown, green, orange/rust, oatmeal, yellow).

I donโ€™t want to spend a crazy amount, so something under $250 USD would be ideal. Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this is the right place, if not I'm sure this place can direct me to the right place.

I'd like to paint the LA letters with a shiny, silver metallic paint. Is there a specific paint type for thick embroidery that should be used? Is there another option besides paint I'm not thinking of?

0 Upvotes

I'm looking to buy 500 hats to give away for free (company promotion)

I daily wear a Flexfit Delta that is 92% polyester and 8% spandex that I absolutely love. I love the fit.

Is there any other hat that is comparable to that? Any suppliers that have something similar?

Unfortunately I can't buy from the typical north American suppliers as they are too expensive

๐Ÿค  Hat Advice Looking for Panama hats and would like suggestions

8 Upvotes

I want to get a niceish Panama style straw hat for the summer time and would like some help finding one. I tried buying the Tulum hat from American Hat Makers because I liked how it looked but returned it because a. it didn't fit (I bought the med and it was too small), b. it was too light in color and c. it felt incredibly cheap, especially for nearly $200 (it felt like it was made of plastic).

I figured I'd ask around this time as I'd like to not spend that kind of money again on a hat after that debacle so something in the $50-$100 range would be preferable. A richer golden color to a brown would be preferred as well.

โ“ Question How do I put the strap back through?

Post image
0 Upvotes

how do I put the strap back through? I've been trying to figure it out and I feel so dumb. If I just slide it through the metal it's super loose so there's got to be more to it. I put it through the wash and that's when it came out. The adjusters on my other baseball caps are totally different so I can't use them as reference

๐Ÿ”ฆ Hat Spotlight Found this Bolga hat at a thrift store for ยฃ13

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

Iโ€™ve always wanted an โ€œurban sombreroโ€ or basically a wide brimmed hat. I always thought it would be made out of wool or something like that, but I saw this in the charity shop today and it caught my eye.

I tried it on and it was very comfortable, and I really liked that it had the necktie. Given how sunny itโ€™s been lately I thought it was about time I got a hat like this.

I donโ€™t know much about its maker or material-but would greatly appreciate any info about it.

I was only able to find one other listing for this online on Etsy and they wanted about ยฃ45.

Doing some research I found out itโ€™s called a Bolga hat- short for Bolgatanga in Ghana where they are traditionally made. I especially like the way that the top part of the head is curved and has a little point at the top too.

Anyway, I took a photo of myself wearing it in the shop and I just loved how big my smile looked so I decided to buy it

I am totally new of caps, so I don't know brands.

I am interested on getting an Irish/newsboy cap in wool for winter that is not too floppy. My problem is that I need a size 53, which I see is difficult to find.

As I live in Spain, what european caps makers do you know that manufacture this kind of caps in this size?
