Here's the Doc Oc hat...
Well, whether or not the hat is crappy, if someone believes it was actually on-screen in a film, then I guess it's worth it. I believe that could be the hat. Didn't someone say they thought it was a cheap wool just from looking at the still? Every movie prop I've ever seen looked a lot... -
Here's the Doc Oc hat...
..and it's a piece of crap! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=60345&item=3826889057 ah well. I bet no one here ever thought a crummy wool hat would go for over $500. -

A new one, thanks to Fedoralover
thanks! yep, I got a good one. I've already worn it a couple of times, and I keep getting compliments on it. Thanks again, Fedoralover! -
A new one, thanks to Fedoralover
Just got this in the mail. Fedoralover gets a particularly hearty thanks for the heads-up. I love this hat: One of the coolest liners I've ever seen. Fits like a glove, too. I have another hat and an interesting detail about Wynewood hats to post as well, but I... -

someone buy this Borsalino....
Pretty good price, for a beauty of a hat. Glad it went to someone around here. Congrats. -
Spiderman
I got a trailer for Scorsese's The Aviator when I saw it. I thought it was great, and I think I actually liked it a little better than the first, which I also really lliked. I just thought it was pretty rich with character development, whereas the first one was a lot more plot-heavy (which...- havershaw

Hat in Seabiscuit movie
Paddy, I see now why you were interested in that Marathon of mine. I should think that a hat like this would be a lot easier to come by on eBay than the wider-brimmed ones we are all looking for. I may even have a couple myself which could be of use to you (actually, I'm trading one of them... -
The investment in vintage
I have always been a thrift-store shopper, not so much for the sake of value, but more for the fact that used stuff looks cooler. When I was a kid, and you got a new pair of tennis shoes, there was always that week or two of self-consciousness and (sometimes) even ridicule from your friends... -
Someone should buy this, because I can't afford it.
Owned by Bogie himself: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3824813102&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT Not really that expensive...but I am on a budget for a little while.- havershaw

The investment in vintage
That Borsalino on eBay is the one Zane was offering for a little bit. He gave me the guy's contact info, but I never got in touch with him. Looks like I didn't miss much. Nice hat, but...well, that's a little out of my price range - by about $1400. -
Why is the ribbon on the left?
My Borsalino with a Cavanagh edge: and an actual Cavanagh: a closeup of the Cavanagh edge on my Disney Twenty-Five: -
All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette
I try to go with old-school etiquette as much as I can. If I'm in a restaurant, I take the hat off when I get to my table. I will usually look for a ledge or something like that to sit it on (I sit it on the brim, but only if I can leave the front curl hanging off the ledge). If I can't find... -
Another bevy of beauties!
New Old Stock Other synonyms (I've seen these on eBay): deadstock old store stock unsold old stock It just means that they were never sold, or at least, were never worn and are exactly how they would be if you had purchased them from a store back in the day. For example, NOS vintage... -
Another bevy of beauties!
Zohar, thanks for the kind words. The Twenty does indeed have a Cavanagh edge, as do the Disney and the Mallory. fedoralover, I noticed myself that almost all of the hats pictured here have the C-crown. Everything I've read has said that the center dent was more of an English style, while... -

Another bevy of beauties!
OK, last one. This is another Stetson, a Royal Stetson. I would call this color kind of a phantom blue, although you can feel free to correct me if I'm mis-judging it. It's grey, but it's got a definite blue cast to it, unlike any other grey hat I own. It's also NOS, though it has a little... -
Another bevy of beauties!
This one's a Stetson Twenty. Super nice felt here and kind of a weird crown. I showed it to the lady at my local hat shop and she claimed it was the nicest of all the hats I had ever brought her, but I think I have quite a few that are at least this nice, if not nicer - but then, I'm a fan of... -
Another bevy of beauties!
This is a Mallory Fifteen. Maybe the flimsiest felt I've ever held, although I partially assume that's on account of the age of the hat. This has another one of those cloth size tags with the numbers actually embroidered into the cloth. Weird, no? Also weird: the bow is pretty far forward... -
Another bevy of beauties!
This one is another one of my new favorites. It's a Royal Sunnington, whatever that is, and it claims to be "XXXX SPEICAL ROYAL QUALITY." The felt on this is wonderful. It's very similar in color to the Optimo Indy Brown, and the ribbon is super dark brown (I know, it doesn't look like it... -
Another bevy of beauties!
While I'm not quite buying hats the way I had been over the holidays, I've still picked up a few pretty nice ones here and there in the last couple of months (and a couple of real stinkers, too). I thought I'd share a few of them with you. First, my pride and joy: the Dinsey Twenty-Five...
