Interesting....I never saw the "Lovely Liners" thread. I'll look for it. I have to admit the red pleated liner caught my attention and compelled this acqusition.
Got my first bowler...Stetson Excellent Quality. Not sure how old it is but the store mentioned on the lining (Nebraska Clothing Co) has been closed since the 70s. I think this hat is much older than that. It even has its own felt "brush" to clean the hat. I don't know much about these so if...

I’ve got a beautiful Dobbs 20 homburg I would like to sell or trade. It’s a 7 1/8 LO. I wear a 7 1/8 so this doesn’t fit me comfortably. I’m asking $OLD plus shipping. It’s at least early 50’s vintage maybe a little earlier but I’m not sure. I’ll ship it in the hat box (not original) that came in.
I ordered what I thought would fit. I bought a 57.
I've have a vintage Dobbs 20 in 7 1/8 that is tight on my noggin. Recent Stetsons and Dobbs fit nicely at 7 1/8. I have a couple vintage Italian hats (a Panizza and Barbisio) that fit nicely at 57. I also have a Super Panizza in a 58 that fits...
Ha. My new Squatter was too big for my noggin and wobbled on top of my head a lot. It was uncomfortable even blew off my head in a light wind. I tried some cork sizing spacers was was not pleased with the result.
Yesterday I sprayed the underside of the sweatband with distilled water and let it...
My first Akubra is on its way from the great downunder via USPS. Its been four weeks shipping. I'm expecting it any day now (maybe today) but we'll see how USPS performs. They are currently in possession of some other non-hat packages of mine that were scheduled for delivery before Thanksgiving...
I just ordered my first Akubra...a Squatter. It already shipped so it shouldn't take too long to get here depending on the Customs delay. I saw the Squatter was discontinued and the Hattery had them discounted and had my size....
Came across another Dobbs 20. This one was styled as a black Pork Pie. Interesting hat band...it looks like the bands on the Gay Prince. I believe this one is from the 50s. Nice soft felt...the seller said it was in mint condition but the sweatband needs some repair to the stitching. Other than...
I'm fairly new to vintage hats but I have to say this is some soft pliable felt. Moreso than my other two Dobbs 20s...Here are the tags in the hat. The size tag is under the sweat and the liner is sewn in...I looked at the Finian's Rainbow ads...and it seems the big feature for them was the...
Yes it's got,the same band as the Gay Prince. I wondered if it was a GP with a PP bash or if it originally sold as a PP. Not sure if the GP came as a Dobbs 20.
It's black.
