    Dating Vintage Stetsons by size tag

    Dinerman has one that's a spot-on match, but all still seem unsure as to Biltmore or Brockville or possible era, it is a 3x, but that liner! I wonder if has been replaced with something more "modern", but you are right, almost certainly Canadian.

    Dating Vintage Stetsons by size tag

    Canadian? Any speculation as to the decade? That liner is throwing me off, as it looks contemporary.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Thanks. I'd be surprised if they were not from the same maker (Dorfman in some incarnation, I'm sure). Both are brisa weave cuencas (grade 3/4 with nice finishing) with a back sewn brims, the identical black & gold "genuine Panama" crown top stickers and the ubiquitous "crown pinch...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Waiting... ...on this pair of Goorin Bros panamas. Ordinarily I never look at anything made by Goorin, but these look like real hats.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Agreed After I lost more than a few hats when such-like happened to ME, I simply started to be the guy who contacts the buyer, at once, asking if they have a BIN price that would be acceptable. If the seller is "tricked" then this means they simply failed to do their homework, to carry out...

    If the brim were 1/8" wider I'da snapped these up!

    I was not aware that the runabout was more than a year or two old, these look, well,... quite well loved. A gr8 deal, and it looks as though he would entertain an offer, too, I am quite tempted, but I am at the limits (of my wife's tolerance shhhhhhhh) for storage, care and whatnot, and ya'...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    One of my favorites -minty, cool a great hat! I'm thinking 195o's, but really don't know.

    Anyone Have an ORVIS® Muir Woods ff Fedora? It's now on Sale

    I really like the look, altho' some reviews noted that the brim wasn't dimensional but 3" all around. That stinks. If it is still made in Fall River MA. it is by Korber Hats, perhaps the last great New England factories. But...the crown is listed at a mere 4", so I may (will) let it pass...
