Hat making?? Learning Millinery..

I am a disabled veteran and I am looking for a trade to learn to get me out of my current job working in a factory. It's just too hard on me now. I've always had a fascination with mens hats, especially the Fedora. Would love to learn how to make them and turn it into a profession.

If there are any hat makers here that can offer some advice, I would greatly appreciate it.

O.K., I think I am finally emotionally prepared to part with this honey of a jacket.

I have put this jacket up for sale a couple times, thought better of it and taken it down, only to eventually realize again that I just don't wear it that often. I seem to always be reaching for a horsehide or non-leather jacket.

So here you go!

This is a Rough Wear 1401-P bought new from Goodwear Leather in the summer of 2013. Leather is the “Ultra-Vintage Dark Russet Brown” (LGI104), which is in my...

Looking to sell this fantastic Sears - Oakbrook Sportswear D-pocket cross zip / double rider leather jacket, in a size 38.

Price is $300.

▶Info◀
If I am not mistaken, this is the early 1960's version of this very popular style. Not much difference from the 50's version. I much prefer the collar on this one.

Beautiful, over-dyed, surprisingly thick & heavy leather. Just look at the grain and the texture.
All the zippers are Conmar;...

I don't understand why you see so many quality leather jackets advertised as "labeled xyz" but "fits like abc". I don't want to name any vendors in particular, but if you go to eBay and do a search, say, on "CXL jacket", you see a lot of them. Labeled 40, fits like 44, etc, etc. Why doesn't the manufacturer (assembler?) put a size 44 label on it if it fits like a 44? Or, why is this not sold as defective merchandise; a factory second at factory-second pricing? What am I missing? I've...

Stating random radio or background music is no good.

Unappreciated masterpieces?

We will probably agree on most masterpieces, such as Chinatown or Casablanca or Gone With the Wind. But there are a number of what I consider to be flawless, but unappreciated masterpieces, and I'm sure we all have our favorites. Mine would include:

This Land is Mine (1943)

Schindler's List

Defiance (with Daniel Craig, 2008)

There is a theme here with these particular movies because today is Holocaust Remembrance Day, but that's just a coincidence. I've been thinking of this for some...

So I got to thinkin . . . I often come across photos of cool jackets owned by others, and I struggle to find an appropriate thread to post the photos. Sometimes there is a brand specific thread, but other times there is not. Sometimes I am forced to start a thread for a particular jacket, solely to share the photo, even though the photo probably does not warrant a thread of its own. So, I figured its time that we have a depository for all the random photos we come across depicting cool...

This seems to work on other sites, so I figure that it deserves a shot here.

If you've got a quick hat question and don't see a thread for it, just post it here. Whether the question is about cleaning, anatomy of a hat, brands, etc., this is the place.

Here's one to break the ice....
