Biltmore 7-3/8 Slate Green Milan new with tag

Gray-Green with navy Pug' heavier pseudo-Milan despite "Genuine Milan" on sweatband. Brim a bit over 2-1/2".

 

[Marc Chevalier]

"PreBay". That's a pretty cool word! Did you invent it?

Fine's Milan with Puppy Pug' Olive 7-1/4

Actual straw lightweight, 1-3/4 miserly brim.

 

[rlk]

Anonymous ventilated Cuenca w/ striped Pug' 6-7/8-7-7-1/8

Not a particularly fine weave but nicely ventilated and shapely. Despite pencilled 6-7/8, it fits a 7-1/4 head in its current sweatbandless state so 6-7/8 through 7-1/8 would likely be possible. 2-1/2" brim and 4-1/2" rise at center pinch front.

Ancient Mariners

Longley, Low & Alexander of Chicago ventilated Boater size 7.

Some minor damage near top edge but not a common hat. Note that it is "Smartly Fashioned".


Genuine Panama fine weave Boater 7-1/8

Another old and unusual example.

"PreBay". That's a pretty cool word! Did you invent it?

I was wondering the same thing. Cheers on the word play, RLK!

Supernatural straws

Ecuadorian Supernatural Panama Homburg Size 7-1/2 w/ Box

A couple of small splits have been reinforced with archival linen tape, but are not visible from the exterior. I love this one, I could(and have) pad it out, but the crown is still wider than my face...


Super Stingy "Florentine" Ecuadorian Supernatural Size 7-1/4

Definitely skimpy brim a bit over 1-1/2". Could use some shape enhancements.

 

[rlk]

Stetson Premier Milan Flattop with striped Back-Bow 7-1/8

Just over 2" brim. Tagged 7-1/4, but only 7-1/8 in reality(not even with a +). Crown a bit over 4" high.

 

[rlk]

Stevens "Milairo" 7-1/4

About a 2" brim and fairly low 4" crown height at pinch. Not really a snap-brim. Nice ventilation for warm weather. Like new.

 

[rlk]

"Ultrafino" Panamas new with tags

Wide brim Gambler/Plantation 7-1/4(58)

Not a fine weave at all, but a lot of shade for the buck. 3-1/4" brim. Lightweight elastic fabric sweatband.

Rustic tan Brisa Panama Fedora 7-1/4(58)

2-1/2" brim, well ventilated with fabric band.

 

[Tomasso]

"PreBay". That's a pretty cool word!

Yeah, but what does it mean? Are these hats going to be offered for sale here before moving on to eBay or is this thread a preview of rlk's eBay auctions..........there are no asking prices associated with these hats.......

 

[rlk]

"PreBay". That's a pretty cool word! Did you invent it?

Thanks. Just thought of it, but don't know if others used it before me. I'm offering them here first. If they don't sell they will be listed this weekend. PM with specific questions or offers.

more info on the Supernatural Homburg

Oval is 8-3/16" x 6-5/8" so more of a 7-3/8 Long Oval. Just over 59cm circumference. Some wear to the thin sweatband.

[alanfgag]
