Johnny, would this be the same marvelously soft felt as the resent Schoble I resold?

Tell him NO Johnny!! Tell him the felt is nasty and stiff and he just doesn't want it!!

Schobles are Incredible...

All of the XXXX Quality Schobles are incredible. This definitely fits the mold.

(PS - I still think you should have stretched the hat to fit, but I'm glad you found someone who was willing to adopt the hat.)

Johnny, would this be the same marvelously soft felt as the resent Schoble I resold?

[Not-Bogart13]

Congratulations, Daizawaguy! If it's anything like the one I so briefly possessed, it will find a very special place in your collection.

Alas, I did not bid, for I have far too many dark brown on dark brown lids as it is. But at least I have a replacement for the Lee Trinity on my wish list...

Thanks! I`m looking forward to receiving it. Does anyone know the meaning of Schobles XXXX? Is it a beaver, or beaver blend? Just heard from Johnni that it was originally for sales at Hirsch`s Mens store in Maryland.
