Adam Premier Quality OR style hat. The was apparently made for the 1964 World's Fair. That is the year copyrighted on the box. It has Fair scenes on the box. The hat is in silverbelly size 7 1/4 with a thin ribbon. Open crown is around 5 1/2" and the brim is 2 15/16, so a bit wider than an...
Slate gray Penney's Marathon 7 1/8. I will say though this 7 1/8 is probably closer in size to a 7 1/4 than to a 7, because it is too big for me. The felt is in good shape, but has one moth nibble on the top of the brim near the brim binding. The sweat is in good shape. I will say it is...
Beaver Blend Twenty size 7 1/8. Medium Gray. Wide black ribbon with a wind cord. The hat is in decent shape, but has 4 small grease or dirt spots on the left side. I was going to try and clean it with white gas, but haven't had the time. There is also a small moth nibble near the ribbon on...
Moving sale. Getting rid of all hats that don't fit or I don't wear. This Stevens Pacesetter is really a beater. The felt is in decent shape, but it has been worn a lot over the years. There are a couple of stains around and on the ribbon. It also has a dirty mark on the bottom of the brim...
Have to unload some hats to make for less hats to move.
Stetson Gun Club Dune. Size 7 18 LO. Hat in good condition. Has been worn quite a bit, but no extensive wear to the sweat or felt. Crown just over 4". Brim 3". I bought it several years ago from another TFL member. I like it, but...
Portis The New Slant "Swan's Down Finish". Medium brown. Sweat is great shape. It does have a few small moth nibbles on the crown. They do not detract from the hat, but can be seen from close up. It has a unique ribbon. 7 1/4. 5" open crown. 2 1/2" brim with brim binding.
I am moving to...
I am moving and need to sell all of my hats that don't fit. The less I have to move the better. This is a Stevens The Royalist Custom Made. Medium brown. Excellent condition. It still has a sticker on the sweat that says "Watch for our ads in the Saturday Evening Post". Sweat and felt in...
I didn't mean to hijack this thread to take it on a tangent on panama hats. Buy whatever you like and spend your money however you like. I don't mind spending money on quality and often do on things I value spending for quality or sometimes out of necessity. Many people ask me constantly why...
I would say also that some people sell only the highest quality hats with very little offerings for less perfect, less costly items for those that can only afford that. If Optimo and BB want to only sell the finest grade of hats that is up them. They have a standard that they will only accept...
I've heard from more sources than TFL and by those who have no knowledge or connection to TFL. PB isn't the only one who offers hats for a fraction of the cost. Be my guest is what I would say to anyone who wants to pay more huge amounts more for something than can be had for less. Lots of...
His hats are certainly nice looking. Beautiful in fact. That said, Panama Bob sells hats as well made for a tiny fraction of the cost as well as paying the weavers more money for the hats than BB does. Several other sources do the same. I have heard of his business practices for many years...
I don't know whether I like my boots or hats better either. They are all old. The newest boot in the pic is probably 12-13 years old, the crocs. I went back and labeled what the hats and boots are in the original post. The Lucchese are unquestionably the most comfortable. I must admit I do...
A little bit of the western collection. No western collection is full without the boots and i am as crazy about boots as I am hats. Here are a few of my western hats anyway.

Damascus barreled gun were sure some of the finest works of metallurgical arts ever made by the hands of man. As amazing as some of the finest swords.
Wonderful Parkers DG.
What you are thinking about is damascus barreled shotguns. The problem with damascus barrels is that they were made of thousands of welds and layers and painstaking detail. It is a lost craft unfortunately. If you allow a damascus barrel to rust it will permanently weaken at weld points. No...
This is my upland get up for pheasant, quail, grouse and late season dove. The shotgun is a 1927 Ithaca NID (New Ithaca Double). The jacket belonged to my grandfather. The boots are Russell Moccasin boots. They are not that old, 15 years, but are nearly identical to Russell's my grandfather...
