    Optimo south side mobsters

    I agree that's the best way to sell such desirable hats. Please consider, though, announcing the auctions in the Classifieds section here. Would be helpful to you and to potential buyers here (myself included). Anj

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    That's a beauty, Bolt. The sweatband stitching at the front is normal for Borsos... a trademark of theirs. Anj

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Yeah. That is kind of a unique deal, with him also trying to sell it locally. I'm betting he'll be glad he didn't! Maybe just a smidge of sympathy. On the other hand, now that you've mentioned the live auction here, you have wrought horrible vengeance on whoever was trying to buy this hat via...

    My understanding was the latter. If not, my above post is respectfully withdrawn. Anj

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    No sympathy! Not a fan of the behind closed doors buy-it-now. Nothing wrong with it, I guess... just doesn't strike me as completely above board. It's why I often throw down early bids (not that I did in this case). Anj

    LOTS of 40s/50s Pants & Shirts in LARGE & XL wearable SIZES!!!

    Forgive my ignorance, but can you explain what you mean by "dropped waistline" on the gray slacks? Thanks! Anj

    Stetson Nostalgia Discontinued?

    Sad testimony to how small our little market is. Stetson tried to make a hat that would appeal to us. It may not have been perfect, but it looks to me like they did the best they could while maintaining reasonable production costs. They were rewarded with dismal sales. We should all keep the...

    Original Stetson Whippet is worth??

    Depends on size, vintage, color and other factors. I would use the ultimate price guide, ebay. If you're registered you can search through completed listings and see exactly what they've been selling for. Anj

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Looks to be a lovely Stetson 3X, in 7 1/2 for a good price. I chased a little, but I've spent too much recently to go to the mat. Anj

    Can a fedora be streched????

    I find using Google much more useful for searching the FL. Just enter your search phrase, followed by "site:thefedoralounge.com" Anj

    My New Homemade Hat Torture Device- Stretcher

    Bumped with a new, working photo of the stretcher! Since this early photo I have finished the wood block with several coats of a tung oil/poly finish. Safe from the hat moisture now. Anj

    Post New Hats Here!

    Finally finished up my latest project hat. I won this 3X Open Road a few months back, along with another OR that needed a little work. I will end up flipping the other hat, but I wanted to restore this one for myself. Removed the liner, cleaned the hat in Coleman fuel, dunked it, stretched it...

    NY Times article about True Grit hats & costume

    Great article. I thought the hats and costumes were perfect. I love that Bridge's main hat has a little hole where the pinches meet. Looks like he's been wearing it out in the wild for five years running. Anj

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I won the Stetson Thirty. Have not seen one like it before. I was a little surprised I didn't have any competition on it. I have a soft spot for those "woven" sweat bands. I would say about 1970. Hope the felt is nice. Anj

    Seth Macfarlane...Big Band Crooner?

    I thought he was pretty awful on Conan. If you're going to tackle these classic songs, which have been recorded by some of the best singers of the last hundred years, you better bring something new or remarkable to the table. I didn't hear it. Anj

    FS - Nice Borsalino 7 3/8

    Darn. It's a glorious hat, and I would be tempted to stretch it up to my 7 1/2 LO size, but I don't like that much brim. Good luck with the sale, and thanks for providing the measurements. Best, Anj

    FS - Nice Borsalino 7 3/8

    Bob, Do you have a good guess on the hat's actual size? Could you provide either circumference or just measure the hat opening front to back and side to side? Also, crown height and brim width? Thanks, Anj
