I'll give this a few days here before moving it on to the 'bay.
Very nice Stetson bowler, dated by our own experts to the '30s. Very pleasing shape to this one.
Very nice condition over all. Felt and bound brim in good shape. Sweat band logos are clear. You can see the issues where the...
Wow
I need to start doing some Western conversions to flip!
That hat selling in the same range as the like-new, 1952 3X Open Road I lost out on is... well, odd.

I am Doomed
I cannot believe I didn't win this hat for what I bid (I was the second highest bidder). I woke up this morning and checked on the esnipe result, and my heart just sank.
I have wanted a nice vintage Open Road since I first got into hats, and it just seems destined not to be...
Odd Stevens
I've been wanting a Stevens fedora for a long time. My great-uncle owned one that I inherited, but it's badly moth-eaten.
So, I won one last night, but I'm not sure what I won. The brim is odd. Check out the crazy edge binding. The hat overall doesn't look like a homburg to...
Ha! No insult at all. Quite the contrary. I like McKean's work, and Miller is a hero of mine. Actually, Frank is something of a fedora-lover these days.
Thanks!

Nice
Leo is a real talent. Scorsese doesn't hook up with guys for this many films unless they have the chops. He's phenomenal in Aviator.
That aside, I've been really impressed with the hats in the trailers I've seen. They look great and they actually look worn. They don't have that fresh...
Whippet Good!
Has someone used the DEVO joke before?
Anyway, I haven't posted in quite awhile, but I got a shot of me wearing my Whippet before shopping yesterday and thought I'd share.
The tag under the sweat says this was sold in December of 1950, at the downtown Philly Stetson store...
Espresso Martini
I've been known to enjoy an Espresso Martini in the morning:
1 shot espresso
1 shot decent vodka
1 shot milk
1/2 shot simple syrup
Delicious. Hey... it's always noon somewhere, right?

Big Borso
I got the 7 3/4 Borso cleaned up a bit and shrunk to fit me pretty nicely. Some stains I couldn't get out, but I still love it. Incredibly light and soft. I just bash it casually whenever I put it on.
No liner for the moment. I removed it for cleaning, and I'm a little...
