Can vintage panamas be reblocked, resized larger? Meaning the brim break being changed not just stretched out with a stretcher? Seems like I remember earlier in this thread of jonbuilder and Bill Hughes have some sent out to have this done. I have a Pennys Marathon with 3” brim I was wondering...
Great Balls of Fire again Hat Wizard Hufford. Another great catch of cool ones. The one 7 1/4 straw is Hanoki straw. I know a feller in Buckeye AZ who’ll have his eye on that one if it lands on eBay.
Only appropriate to post this particular one today. The Finchley Establishment fedora in If I remember correctly @steur favorite shade of green. I’ve only seen one reference so far and that was one by Dinerman here on the Lounge.
2 5/8” welted brim, 5 5/8” open crown.
Other than a few moth...

Soft thin easily shaped felt. 2 3/4” triple stitched brim, 5...
HARVARD CLUB
Another for this thread a Harvard Club in size 7 1/2. Also an unreeded sweat that I haven’t peeked behind yet for tags and labels. Came from hatters estate in PA and was obviously in the midst of being worked on. I would guess this a 40’s era.
2 3/4” bound brim, 6” open crown.
Very...
SUNNINGTON
I believe this to be appropriate thread to post this lesser known hat.
Beautiful bone color with 1 1/2” black ribbon/bow in size 7. Unreeded sweat that I didn’t feel safe in trying to peek behind for tags and info. 2 5/8” bound brim, 4 1/2” crown as bashed. Beautiful art deco liner...
Another from back in January and it’s also one I’ve not seen before Harvard Club size 7 1/2. This came from a hatters estate in Pennsylvania and was obviously in the midst of being worked on from the pins in the bow and sweat.
Very nice soft easily dry shaped felt. Haven’t tried to peek behind...
