This guy occasionally puts up scratch and dent models for auction, and you can usually land them pretty reasonably. I have two doubles and two singles from him, all of which are perfectly functional and you have to look...
Tonight I had the opportunity to sit with an Oliva Serie V double robusto, a glass of Oban and my thoughts. That's not happening often enough lately, and it surely was a pleasure.
I checked out Tony's updated site just now. I see several hats there that are very appealing. The left column, second from the top and the left column, bottom picture are both beautiful lids. I can vouch that Tony is a hell of a guy to deal with. If you like his work, give him a call. You won't...
Thank you, DRB. I guess once in a while gray beards are an advantage. And more importantly thank you for serving the United States of America in Iraq. If I can ever be of service to you, call on me. It will be my privilege.
+1 I missed that one, but it's a very sharp lid. The brim width seems to suit you fine. I know I prefer 2 1/2 inch brims, and going up 1/4 seems to make a lot of difference looking from under the hat, but really it looks good on you. Nice find. Enjoy!
Thanks hatophile, rlk and Jimmy. I have my friends here on the lounge to thank for all their help, advice and encouragement in helping me land the hats that I have. I enjoy them all and consider it my privilege to have these beautiful pieces of history.

We aren't going to be able to make it this year, R. As much as we hate to miss it, circumstances here at home are going to prevent us from coming, but we may try to make a run to Covington sometime. We'll keep you posted.
Thanks Bart, Jimmy, Buler and Lefty. When I talked with Tiffani about this one I told her I wanted an early 50's Whippet clone. She rattled off some number for the crown, and I said ok with me as long as it's a nice tall, straight crown. Then I specified a 2 1/2 inch brim with a 19 or 20 ligne...
