FANTASTIC, Alan!!
Could you please let me know what the brim measurements are? It looks like 2 1/2 inches wide plus another 1/4 inch for the curl. So 2 3/4 including the pencil curl? Pictures can be deceiving.
I once owned a Stetson Supper Club almost exactly like that. It was black felt with reddish-purpleish ribbon and brim binding. Very classy homburg. Same proportions as a standard St. Regis, but I think the Supper Club was a "fancier" version of the St. Regis.
Great later model Strat with shorter 2 1/4 inch brim. At 7 3/8, its too big for me.

Here's the link for this really cool Beach Comber in a larger size. WAY too big for me to wear.

Thanks, Brad! I knew I had seen one of these before. I actually did not remember the Bunker hat ad, even though its super cool. I thought I had seen an old Dobbs newspaper ad from the 30's that showed these grosgrain hats, but i've seen so many hat ads, I could totally be mistaken. Hopefully...

Here's a super rare hat that I picked up a few months ago. I know I have seen this type of hat in a vintage advertisement, but I can not for the life of me find the ad.
The entire hat body is made up of gray felt that has been stitched all the...
STEVE......AMAZING haul!!! Those pre-war hats are just spectacular!! The 2 Echter Borsalino pencil curled upbrims are, in my opinion, the perfect style of hats. I am a sucker for early upbrims and pencil curls, and those two definitely do not disappoint. And the finish on that Hückel Loden....it...
That's actually a VERY nice straw body for $60. Looks like what Stetson (Hatco) would call their Grade 20 panama. Interesting though, the woven edge is not something I have seen on modern Stetson straws because most of them are stitched and cut. The Stetson "Medalist" designation wasn't so much...
Last hat I have for sale currently. Its an amazing hat in spectacular conditon. Very comparable to a Dobbs/Knox 20 in quality.
