Prices
Prices weren't outrageous, but they weren't dirt cheap either. If I remember right prices were between $30-50 depending on the hat and it's condition.
I spoke to the owner of the shop, and most were from estate sales. There were a number of well worn items that would take some...
I just back from a great little thrift shop in Reading OH (Just north of downtown Cincinnati), called "Talk of the Town."
They had at least a dozen vintage hats, and at least half of them were in beautiful shape. Assorted Dobbs, Penney's, Borsolini, Stetsons and some other italian and...
Football Coaches
I thought I was pretty well versed in British vs American English, but when I was last in the UK, I got stumped. I was going down the the local pub and as I passed the car park I noticed a sign posted which read: "No football coaches allowed." I kept thinking, "Is this pub...
The hat I scored off OFAS has arrived! It's this hat: item 110203265553.
I have a question: The hat's ribbon is severely wrinkled and the corner of the bow is bent over. If you look at the pix you can see what I mean. I think it must've had another hat sitting on top of it for a couple...
Hmmm
First of all, wear what you like. It's your life so be happy. If that means hats, that means wearin' hats.
Second, I think your wife may be a little insecure. She doesn't like hats, and it sounds like she assumes that EVERYONE else (other than you) agrees with her. So when you...
Jonesing
Thanks for the feedback everyone (especially Mark and Johnnycanuck)! I can't wait for my lid to arrive. I'm jonesing like a madman!
I figure when it arrives I'll check it over to see if it needs anything more than a brushing. I'm too new at this to think I could actually clean it...
Rebash or Keep as is?
What do you guys think? I believe it's a center dent, and I'm much more partial to C-crowns/teardrops. I'm tempted to rebash it into a teardrop, swap out the band for a thin ribbon and make it into an OR clone..
Thanks!
Wow, Mark, thanks for the detailed reply, that helps a lot.
I figure to start around $50-75 range, until I can save up enought to have a custom made. I'll double check the Bailey and Dobbs range. How 'bout Jaxon hats? I've just started seeing them online, are the decent or...
Just wanted to formally say "hi" (since I've been lurking for a week or two), and ask for some advice.
I recently decided that my wool felt pork pie needed to be replaced, and I've decided to go with a fedora. Since I live in Cincinnati, I will ultimately go to Gus Miller at Batsakes and...
