Try putting pieces of felt or paper towel under the sweatband for loose hats.
I don't know when this was made. There's a thread for dating Stetsons by liner but I didn't go through that completely. Someone said '50s when I first posted it on "Post New Hats Here".
HI! Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Yep, it's still waiting for you. The tag under the sweatband definitely says 7 3/8. I just measured the sweatband using the masking tape method and I got 23 inches around the inside. According to Miller Hats website that is definitely 7 3/8...
Oh dear! :o I'm not certain but, if it's the hat I'm thinking of, that might have been me. I'm so sorry! :eusa_doh: I tend to erase the items I don't win from my 'Bay archives, so I can't be sure. In the last few auctions I made a last ditch effort by bidding just a hair beyond the limit...
Yeah, I think you might be right. It's a much more popular size. What I really really want isn't likely to float along in the Bay anyway.
If I can sell one or two more of my costume items on Etsy, I'll have enough to buy another Fed IV before the exchange rates get too high.
Wow, HP. What a gem! Good find there.
I'm still grumpy because the last 3 or 4 7 3/4 hats I bid on were snatched away from me. :mad: Curse my huge head! It's so hard to find my size and when I do they always go for more than I can pay. I think I'm going to start looking for 7 5/8 and...
Hmmm... I wonder if this could be made with wire in a way that wouldn't damage a hat stored in it. Perhaps some sort of plastic that can be bent with heat into whatever shape you need? [huh]
:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap Fantastic find, Dreispitz! Not everyone can pull off a bowler, but you are obviously one of those who can, no matter what you wear with it.
Thanks for noticing, Sue! I drew it this weekend and finished coloring it in the computer last night. I thought about posting the full sized version in the "How To Draw Fedoras" thread, but the icon works just fine for me.
