Unless they're pristine, I rarely see Reistol fedoras go for more than $65-$75. Maybe that's just me? I wear a 7 1/4. Was this a common size for Resistol? Why does the Resistol brand carry a lower status than Stetson, Knox, Dobbs, etc.? I've held a Kitten Finish felt before and it is a very fine...
BUMP for more info and a lower price...
This is an Aldo Morelli pipe. It takes 9mm filters, either crystal cylinders or balsa wood.
Price is now $40 shipped.
Cavanagh Milan
Got this great vintage Cavanagh Milan from Robert today. I absolutely LOVE the quality of this hat! Crown is 4 1/4 at front crease, 4" at the back. Brim is 1 7/8". I'm not usually one to go for stingy's under 2", but when I iron the brim flat on the sides it gives it a really...
Thanks, Randall. The brim is 1 7/8", which is a touch narrow for me, but it turned out really nice after the ironing. I also pushed up the back crease to a tear drop which straightened out the sides a little; it changed the whole look of the hat from when I got it.
I took this while taking pics at an old cemetery in Rome, GA with my medium brown Kevin McAndrew fedora. As I was leaving, I noticed my silhouette on the old stone steps. I thought it was so unique, so I used it as my avatar...
Fairly Modern Stetson
I just received a modern Stetson from the 'bay. It reminds me of a Saxon, but much nicer. Before I go on to the pics let me tell this brief story about my growing experience with vintage hats. I had looked at buying a new brown Saxon ($140) from a local Western store...
Radooch...
Fabulous hat! The felt is beautiful, and the Cav edge is superb.
Ordinary Guy...
Amazing! I absolutely LOVE the contrast of the original felt on the edge. What a great idea to fill in the stitching with --- stitching. :)
No, it's just a good lookin' hat. I wanted to see some pics in the field or if you kept the center crease. I'm awaiting a hat from Parker blocked at the same height. Getting anxious!
Kevin McAndrew 7 1/4 on eBay
I saw a nice custom grey Kevin McAndrew 7 1/4 with a clear hat box on eBay recently, but the brim is too stingy for me. It's 1 7/8" wide. I have a brown KM with a 2" brim that I absolutely love, so I'm a little bummed that I have to pass it up. Link listed below...
