Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
The Mallory Knockabout is a fine hat and that's a great price. I would not wait to have this cleaned and blocked, however, since it looks like that might be mold inside the sweatband. Once blocked, you're gonna be thrilled with this hat. Do a search and you can find pictures of mine... -
SOLD: Portis Supreme, 7 3/8 or so...
This gray Portis Supreme fits tightly on my 7 1/2 LO head. I think it would be fine for a 7 1/2 regular oval or possibly even a 7 3/8 head. Roughly 23" around. Brim is 2 1/2" or just shy of that. This is a relatively tough, stiff, heavy hat- well built in every respect. I'm...- feltfan

Big, if stingy, Vintage Borsalino
This vintage (50s?) Borsalino is tagged French/Italian size 6 1/2. In American hat sizes, that's a 7 1/2. I stretched it slightly to fit my 7 1/2 Long Oval head, which it does nicely. However, it's not my style. The brim appears to have been cut down. I say that partly on a hunch...- feltfan

1940s or 50s Royal Stetson Brown 7 3/4
Really? No interest from guys with 7 3/4 heads? I'm very surprised. This is an extremely unusual hat- thin felt, wide brim, big crown, in a nearly impossible size.- feltfan

Thanks DOUGLAS. Good idea, going to a womens' milliner. Do report back after a while with your impressions. Meanwhile, I might try that... -
Gray Stingy Cavanagh, 7 3/8-1/2
Hat Measured Let it not be said that Feltfan's House of Hats spared effort in the pursuit of customer satisfaction... I spent my $1.79 for a measuring tape. It measured 22 3/4" the first time and 23" the second. The second was a bit more meticulous. Using CigarMan's method, I get...- feltfan

Silk Sweat Bands?
Who have you found to do this? Are they using real silk grosgrain ribbon and is it vintage? Very much looking forward to hearing how you like the result. -

Silk Sweat Bands?
One more thought: a silk ribbon is not as thick as a leather sweatband. You might bring your hat down a size. Use one which is tight on your head! -
Stockton Memorial Civic Auditorium
You mean when my partner, who got there first, laughed at me and she said, 'you're going to like this place!'. Then I walked through and saw every seat in the house still had its hat holder. So civilized and so unexpected! Stockton is a troubled city, with what appears to be a largely... -

I'd certainly return any hat that came with a head like that attached! :p -
Stockton Memorial Civic Auditorium
Stockton, CA. Anyone else been there? What a gem. I visited it today (for a state gymnastics competition). Built in 1925 and surprisingly intact, down to a number of hall light fixtures, seat backs, WW I commemorative plaques, etc. True 20s design throughout. Best of all? The... -

Gray Stingy Cavanagh, 7 3/8-1/2
Cavanagh made lots of hats without Cavanagh Edges. I have an Open Road-style hat with quite a wide brim and no Cav Edge. I have a Cavanagh homburg (which I think is a 'convertible" to a fedora, or two-way) with a bound edge (which I will put up for sale soon). I have a Cavanagh cowboy...- feltfan

Gray Stingy Cavanagh, 7 3/8-1/2
Measurements After all these years, I must admit I never tried to measure the interior circumference of a hat. I knew it was hard, but it's really tough. Honestly, I'm not up to the task. String won't stay put and stretches. Wire isn't flexible enough. Paper is inexact. No, I don't have...- feltfan
