Some of my newest acquisitions!
My wife is indeed on the brink of flippage. Actually, I think she passed it last month, but since then, I have been sort of conservative about what I buy...and careful to "intercept" the mail before she gets home. The breaking point came after I visited LA last month for the "Casablanca"... -
For those who can wear it...
here are a couple more, maybe one for you, Wild Root: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=52388&item=8100143632&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=52394&item=8100383460&rd=1 You know my measurements - let me know what you find for me, Wild... -
Some of my newest acquisitions!
Thanks for all the kind words, fellows. Glad to share 'em with you. Wild Root, that advert is awesome! All my Mallorys are "Cravenette Processed." I haven't worn them in the rain to find out, though. I'm up to 47 hats, I think. Probably more if you count the handful I got for... -
Some of my newest acquisitions!
This one is a Royal Stetson Playboy. The felt is very very thin and floppy. There's no liner (though it looks like there once had been one). There's not quite a bound edge, but it has a thinly stitched border around it: Last but not least is a sentimental favorite of mine. It's a... -
Some of my newest acquisitions!
More Stetsons: This one is a Custom V. The felt is pretty soft and pretty dense. I love the little fingerdents at the top of the front dents in the crown: This next hat is sort of a mystery to me. The seller claimed it was an early 30s hat, which is possible. There's no liner... -

Some of my newest acquisitions!
You know, it's times like this...makes you realize you've got a lot of hats. Probably too many. OK, it's time for some Stetsons. This first one is NOS, never worn. It used to be a homberg, a problem the mighty Fedora (from whom I purchased the hat) kindly took off my hands. The felt is... -
Some of my newest acquisitions!
This next hat is my prized 1954 Cavanagh with the hole in the crown. I've shown this one before, too, but I always thought the pictures were lousy (I'm not sure these are a lot better). This is maybe my favorite of all my hats. It just has a certain something. The felt is super thin, super... -
Some of my newest acquisitions!
Here's another Mallory Fifth Avenue. This one's NOS, never worn. (I've showed this before, but the photos kind of sucked, so here it is again.) this is one of my favorite ribbon colors ever. Sort of a copper color: This next hat is a Knox Twenty. This felt quality is... -
Some of my newest acquisitions!
more stuff Next is another vintage Borsalino (I was apparently gripped with a fervor for Borsalinos earlier in the month). According to the previous owners, the hat was purchased in Italy in the mid 1930s and was worn by their grandfather who worked a farm in Australia throughout the late 30s... -
Some of my newest acquisitions!
I thought it was high time you fellows had a look at some of the newest additions to the family. I have a whole bunch of exciting things coming (including a 1950s Herbert Johnson which the seller claimed was marked 100% Beaver), and I'll post some more of those a bit after they arrive. Sorry... -

I can't believe I found this!!!
Yeah, eBay has made it tough going at thrift stores. I can't tell you the number of times I've seen frumpy housewives with a cart full of vintage men's shirts that I know they're going to turn around and sell on eBay. And estate sales...? Forget them! The last time I went, i actually got... -

For those who can wear it...
Ken, I'm glad I could help. One question, though...are you bidding on this suit? ...yeah, I'm considering picking it up...but not if you're bidding on it. It'll probably get too rich for my blood, I'd suspect. Ken, since this is your size, I thought this might interest you as well... -
For those who can wear it...
Hey...watch who you call a stick, man...that's my size exactly! (I'm kidding. No, I mean, it is my size...but i take no offense.) Anyway, I would definitely bid on it, but it's just not in the budget right now. Well, I guess it could be, but I'm trying to be good. (That's why I bring it... -

For those who can wear it...
You should check this suit out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=52388&item=4143721255&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW I'm doing my best to lay off eBay right now (although I'm obviously still browsing), so I'm not going for this one...but someone here should. This suit isn't... -
Montgomery Ward Catalog scans
I'll have some time off work toward the end of the week. I'll post more then, as I just got three more 1930s-era catalogs. Yeah, I need to get myself a belted suit...!- havershaw

Stetson Royal Whippet.....
I've got four Whippets, and the felt on each one is just a little bit different. I do have one that's a little "fuzzy," you could maybe say...but I will say also that two of these Whippets were the very first two hats I bought, ever. When I finally eventually bit the bullet and bought both a... -
Clyde Barrow's Stetson 100 on ebay
Kilgour... You were close...but it's Clyde as in "Bonnie and Clyde." -
Akubra Federation Deluxe
I hear something to that effect...possibly less ladylike, at this point.
