Oh no...WARNING: You will NOT be able to unSee this. Procede with caution
I am rendered speechless in horror. There does not exist a knitting needle so long that it'll reach the mind's eye. Now I can't UNsee it. The horror, the horror.- Rick Blaine

Buying hat blocks--what does one need to know?
That's what I do. I have but one size 7 1/4 #52 (Indiana Jones) block. I also have two metal domed stretchers, one hand held, one made to be used on a bench or counter top. I use them to return hats to open crown so they may be recreased.- Rick Blaine

$65 green 7o's (?) Borso -Wide brim!
I think this item is from the era Bollman had license from Borsalino in N.A. This presumption based on the "s,m,L,XL sizing scheme. Although it IS marked as "made in Italy" and "Antica Casa", not " Original House" , which argues strongly for an Italian provenance, but when did Borsalino Italy...- Rick Blaine

Know nothing Retailers!
Yeah, it says as much in the first line of the description's body copy. Oh, I realized that in an instant! That's why doing business with independent hat dealers just makes sense. I mean that looks like a nice hat. Add an inch to the crown & give it to me in 100% beaver & $400 draws...- Rick Blaine

...so first I get the above Biltmore from "Peter-boy" and, as you can see it is said to have a dimensional brim, 2 3/4" front & back, 2 3/8" sides, That would be a hella swoop, eh? When it comes -not even close, it's a Biltmore "Chicago"- w/a 2 1/8" brim all 'round! :mad: Why they cannot...- Rick Blaine
