    IS THIS IS... OR IS THIS AIN'T... A HOMBURG?

    My guess is the hat could be as early as 50s, maybe even 40s. The liner reads "Ye Olde Hatters Established 1924 Hand Made Quality Felts" Located on Irving Park Road in Chicago. The sweatband has an embossed logo that reads "Moistrap Reg. U.S Pat. Off" Anybody have an idea how to date this...

    IS THIS IS... OR IS THIS AIN'T... A HOMBURG?

    Thanks, Carter - yer a geen-yus! Feltfan - I guess the brim width and the front dents make it seem like it's not a homburg. I like the lid, tho I think it'll take some getting used to - I'm a casual dresser.

    IS THIS IS... OR IS THIS AIN'T... A HOMBURG?

    I wasn’t looking for a homburg. I wanted a navy blue fedora. As you know, they are few and far between. They come along once in a (navy) blue moon. I lost out on a navy vintage Dobbs a few months ago which gave me a bad case of the blues. Sorry.;) Anyway – I ran across this lid a...

    Is An Open Road an Open Road if it Doesn't Say Open Road?

    A Rose By Any Other Name Would Smell As Sweet This is becoming a rather interesting discussion, but I'm afraid I must attend to the following activities: 1. Xerox some copies of a magazine article (On a Canon printer) 2. Put a fresh Band-Aid on my cut. (Actually it's a Curad) 3...

    SOLD Vintage Stetson "Standard" for sale

    Kurtz - do you not see how this statement might be offensive to the person who creased the hat? Now, I mean no offense to you, but please allow me to offer a kind suggestion: we would all be wise to measure our words.

    Help Needed for Vintage Panama Repair

    Thanks for the input, guys... The hat is relatively inexpensive and a lesser brand (Bond) with a low WPI. I think I will request a refund from the seller.

    FOR SALE - VINTAGE STETSON PANAMA - smallish 7 3-8

    Anybody interested in this nice vintage lid for summer? I just received it, but it's way, way too small for my big melon. It's marked 7 3-8 but it fits like a 7 1-4. The lid has a 22.5 circumference. Some minor issues: 1. Brim is a bit wavey - but it just needs is to be wetted down, blown...

    I like to channel my inner Ed Norton. That was a Honeymooners reference to all you youngsters out there. It was a fifties TV show with Jackie Gleason and Art Carney. Jackie Gleason was... oh, the hell with it...
