    Gray Stingy Cavanagh, 7 3/8-1/2

    jazzncocktails- I have to run to meet someone now, but I will do my best tomorrow (and if I don't, remind me!).

    Gray Stingy Cavanagh, 7 3/8-1/2

    Now I trust you're not April foolin' me... I'm guessing it's a 50s hat. There is some taper, even all the way around and I'm guessing that's the way it was blocked. Certainly not reverse taper and I don't think it ever was. You can see it in the pix, in spite of the general purpose...

    Brown Stingy Cavanagh, 1/4, with Cav Edge

    7 1/4, brown and has a Cavanagh Edge. It really needs a cleaning. The felt is fine, but the whole thing is a bit grubby from wear, especially the liner. The brim is just shy of 2". The "bash" was in it when it got to me. With a clean and block you can shape it as you will. It has that...

    Gray Stingy Cavanagh, 7 3/8-1/2

    7 3/8 but fits more like a tight (not LO) 1/2. The hat is 7 3/8-1/2 hat is gray, has a raw edge. No idea why this wasn't snatched up when I listed it before. The Family's Fashion indeed. Nice, dense felt. This one reminds me of one DblCoronaMS picked up: It's in very good...

    Royal blue velour Knox stingy, 1960s? 7 1/2

    Listing this again, hopefully with some improved color pix. The color on this hat is hard to capture. It's a great hat, just the wrong dimensions for my fat head. The brim is almost 1 3/4", raw edge, with two stitch lines. It's in nearly new condition. I put the dents...

    1940s or 50s Royal Stetson Brown 7 3/4

    You don't see this every day. A coup for the colossal cranium. Please let the guys with the big heads go first here. Yes, it is tagged at 7 3/4 under the sweatband. I'd say it's late 40s or early 50s. You can decide for yourself. Big crown (no kidding), brim is at least 2 3/4". Dark...

    Photographs Of Hats Fresh From Surviving The Elements

    That photo was probably from about a month ago. It's sunny here in Oakland today. Sorry about your hat! Almost as sad looking as my dog was after that rain storm:

    The Many Colors of the Whippet

    Tan or beige or ??? This seems like a very old Whippet to me. It's tagged a 3/8 but fit my 7 1/2 LO head pretty much off the rack. It badly needs a cleaning, but that's not a priority at the moment. I'll post my blue one soon. Yeah, it's a very tall crown.

    How do you store your hats?

    Gee, I gotta say that, seeing the rack, I didn't think it would work. But it's great. Those hats look very nice on there.

    "Vintage" Question

    I still don't buy this theory. I have and have seen lots of hats that were treated very badly in the old days but have survived to this day without much taper. I think it's safe to assume the majority of them saw a fair amount of rain. Did anyone see this hat Dinerman posted today...
