    If I had the chance, I'd buy it in an instant. Haven't seen any like it, and do believe it could have been an OR type; if it's a 7 3/8, let me know...:D

    Light weight felt hats

    Mr. F: you've done it again! Please consider me for a 7 3/8 LO in a Natural, and I wouldn't mind if it had a few "character marks"...I'd be very interested in looking at possible ribbon choices when the time is right. By the response shown,I think a wise business decision has already been...

    Whip-stitched sweat bands

    And i just saw a Borsalino listed on ebay that had a whip-stitched band; thought it looked suspect, and stayed away from bidding. Nice hat too... great score-Singer's are so collectable-an old antiques friend of mine who normally dealt in good late 19thc furniture used to scour New England's...

    US Wings Sale and Sizing

    I talked with David Hack on the phone 5ish today; his call on sizing is -on an Indy Jacket, I should get an XL- I'm 5'10, 190lbs, no gut; he was pretty adamant about sizing and quality...the original company that bought the jackets over 6 years ago was SOHO; they also made Avirex jackets for...

    My Grandfather's Hat

    I'm with Bud all the way on this one; take as many photos as you can, and ask Optimo if they can possibly shoot a few as well,and then keep that hat close by. If you have any thoughts about this being a so-so hat, that maybe....then look again at the name of this thread.

    Stetson 4X to be given a new life

    Daniel: great eyes! very hard to see the object transformed, especially when the style of each (or each style?) is so impressed into our hat loving brains. To have a dramatic result shown to me is really a treat-normally read about the event-great work,Art, and I hope I can send one out to...

    Banished Lounger?

    WEEGEE- Great photo, huh? I wanted that hat so badly......and I'm glad it went to you, and still drums home the lesson of coveting things and forgetting the life that surrounds us. Not sappy-just trying to learn some humility and congratulate the winner, rather than growl at the moon. Great...

    Vintage Resistol Dress Western Hats-Conversion?

    Howdy Vern! Your hat really looks great- Resistol snuck some sleepers by the hat wearing crowd- I've got a couple of winners, but yours is by far more stylish-sorta transitions from Western to City, and does it easily. The second hat, on the other hand (or head) is one familiar to us all-...

    My new [old] No. 1 Quality Stetson "The Wildcatter"

    RBH - One fine job, my man- and you are looking pretty dapper these days, with the silver beard and tan...any hat would look good on you- even a "Tyrolean". Sorry Dean couldn't help myself....RBH - just unpacked a Beaver Brand 20x, with about a 6" brim and tall enough to hide a coffee cup...
