[deanglen]

Thanks, Marc! Wouldn't Capone's hats be somewhere? Is there a museum that has them, I wonder.

That is a hat,no doubt about it. Beautiful Marc.You have definitely swayed my collecting thoughts.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Is that the hat that you sold for a ridiculous, stupendous (dare i say it, ludicrous) amount of bills on eBay a while ago?

Um, erm, well ... yup.

some nice photos, posted here. I Like that 20's photo.

Maybe i'm seeing things, but does Capone's hat have a cattleman's bash? Looks like it from here ...

Found these on the web:

Looks like your basic center dent, just kind of smashed in place in one shot.

[The Duke]

looks like Douglas has that same bash.

Can't believe i forgot about this 'un. 30s borsalino. Stone coloured. Cavanaugh-type edge and rather wide ribbon.

[DOUGLAS]

I can't wait to see you collection BK.

 

[The Duke]

I knew you had another one and it has a wind trolley.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

I can't wait to see you collection BK.

I am currently going through my iDisk finding out what the image names are for the best photos of my hats. The thread will appear sometime soon.

One more while the thread is warm.
Knox

I really want to get a hat going with the side swoop thingy going on.

 

[DOUGLAS]

This is a Knox Premier. It is very easy to control and will stay in any shape I give It.it also has a Cav. Edge. Some hats just lend themselves well to this style and I think this is one.

My only one...

Thought I would post the only broad band I own.
Its my Fortune and Glory Adventurebilt by Steve Delk.
it really is a soft, thin felt and can withstand almost anything.
I think it really has the look of a vintage fedora from the 1930s-1940s
