I am clearing out the hats I don’t wear or are too small. I bought this on eBay based on the size description, but it is too small for me. It is blue-grey wool tweed, made in Canada, size large, in very condition, as shown in the photos. Asking $25.00 shipped in the U.S. As for trades, I...
Reviving an old thread because my father in law may be looking for someone locally to shape his new Campdraft (I offered for him to ship to me or walk him thru doing it himself, but he wants to go to a local hatter). Any suggestions in the DC, Northern VA area? I looked up The Hattery of...
Looking for sizing advice. I have four Campdrafts in size 59 which fit my in-between 7-3/8 & 7-1/2 head perfectly, but I am looking buy one as a gift (for my father-in-law). Trying to keep it a surprise, closet recon has found he wore both a size 6-7/8 and a size 7 cap when he left the service a...
I recently picked up this vintage Resistol 7X “Chute” model on ebay. I was warned in the description that there was minor damage to the crown and photos were provided. When I got the hat, the damage did not look too bad – until I steamed it and whatever was being used to plug the moth holes...
My "new" late 1960s to early 70s Stetson "10X Beaver." Color is "mist grey" (well it will be after a good cleaning). A quick rebash from an RCA crease to a center-dent to show off the tall crown. Felt is very nice - thin & soft.
Resistol "Cavalry" Diamond
I picked up this older Resistol western a couple of months back as project hat - didn't appear to be worn much, just dirty from poor storage. I mainly wanted it because of the tall crown and the color. I had Paris Hatters clean it and block it into an open crown...
In case in anyone is interested, I have a custom-made leather ankle holster (right hand draw) on ebay. It was made by custom holstermaker Ken Null and fits any Smith & Wesson j-frame revolver with a 2" barrel, with or without an exposed hammer. I only wore if a few times and it is like-new. I...
Here is the follow-up. Paris Hatters had my hat ready on time, but I was unable to pick it up for a couple of weeks due to travel. Paris Hatters did their usual fantastic job of cleaning and re-blocking it to an open crown. I finally got to work on it last night and here is the final product...
I got this a few weeks ago for a project hat and have been tied up with a move since then. Late '60s or early '70s Resistol with a very tall crown and wide brim. Like new, but dirty from storage (I'm guessing). I dropped it off at Paris Hatters for cleaning and to have it blocked into an open...
