Beautiful fedoras all around today, the full color spectrum being represented it appears.
Justin, always nice to see someone else rocking a Bowler.
Good looking Harley Howard. I'm more than a little jealous.
Patey Hunting Bowler. Pretty excited about this one, although i'm not too keen on testing whether or not it'll hold its shape with me standing on it. I'm just very happy I didn't have to pay a thousand for it.
Was all set to buy this one but my internet decided it wasnt to be and gave me the shaft in the last ten minutes of the auction, and I had to watch it sell for under 15 bucks.
If anyone has either this one, or another in a UK size 7, I'd love to buy it. And i'd certainly pay more than $15 on it.
Looks like this one has a fairly high crown.

This was both a 24 hour auction and mislabeled as a Bowler. I can only imagine thats why I was the only bidder on it, cause it looks to be in as good a condition as someone could hope for.
Thank you for your consolation haha, I know i'm pretty bummed about this one. His measurements had the circumference at 22 and 1/4 and it just aint the case. And I would have worn this one all the time, it has such a great profile and and brim curl.
I just spent the last hour working out...
Today we have yet another Brown Bowler for sale. Very old, I have no idea if this is an example of a Dunlap before the merger with Knox. But it seems a pretty fair bet. The sweatband is sewn directly to the inside, and the brim curl has a very nice swoop to it.
There are no creases or tears...
Nice score on that one, after you fix the pinch to your liking it's only going to look even better.
You fared better than I.
Another day, another brown Bowler that doesnt fit me, and will be heading straight to the classifieds.
Dunlap Brown Bowler from Pantke Harpe.
Bunch of wonderful hats posted here recently, and extra kudos for the amazing photography of said hats. I can't imagine its easy to photograph a velour hat and get that wonderful shine to show through.

Just lost this one. Bummers but I had my eye on another that I want a bit more than I did this one.
I was the only bidder on this one though. I'm excited to see this one, both for the fact that it appears...
