    In my experience, heads and hats cannot be measured with a micrometer. I am a similar size to you (22+ a little) and I wear hats marked as size 7, 7 1/8, + European sizes 4.5, 5, 56cm and 57cm. Sometimes a 6 7/8 will work and occasionally, a 7 1/4. My hat collection is almost exclusively vintage...

    A post-war Stetson, modest in price but robust in dimension and style. Hard to photograph the color accurately, blue spruce might be close.

    Byrnie Utz is liquidating its inventory this Feb 8th & 9th 2020

    If you attend and find someone there who might know a little history, I'd love information on the connection between the Seattle Utz and the Medford Utz. I called to ask but the store had already closed.

    Stunning example. It's cousin is the only Hückel in my collection and I affirm the quality of the velour felt in this 1950s example. The pleated ribbon is exceptional as well.

    Thanks very much guys... appreciate your taking the time to share comments. The auction for this cap drew no bids - our esteemed and rarely seen member Lefty posted it at close and asked why no one had grabbed it. I hadn't seen it and sent a message to the seller offering to pay the BIN price...

    Hi Steve, I find original picture files from my phone are too large to upload, which is sensible as they are 50+ inches in the long dimension at 72ppi (standard screen pitch). Tapatalk might reduce the images for posting by default - I don't use it. Generally, I transfer photos from my phone to...

    I've not studied the history of this company, but by the 1960s, it is likely that it was a brand consolidated into the handful of surviving companies at that time. A decade later, they would all be gone.

    A pre-war softie, made by Anton Peschel for Oviatt's. Amazingly, Steve came upon the plate used to imprint the liner for this hat.

    Thanks very much for the comments. Something about this hat - the pre-war sunny Los Angeles provenance (the original owner died in 1943) and the brilliant color, especially - lifts my spirits. Glad you enjoyed it too.
