SAMUEL THOMPSON TAKES VINTAGE HATS FROM THE PAST AND RE-MAKES THEM FOR THE PRESENT

Thompson works with Stetson 3x beaver hats from the 1960's and re-blocks, cleans and redoes them with custom hatbands and liners. “I am trying to do something really different with vintage snap brim hats, (now called stingy brims.) No one buys them and I can pick them up for less than $10 on Ebay.”

According to Thompson, prices for vintage hats are going up on Ebay. Check out this site: http://thefedoralounge.com.
