Don't ya hate it when...

You spy a pile of killer hats at an antique store, get all giddy, and discover none of them fit you. Argh.

I found two vendors today with tasty lids that were made for munchkins. Oh well. I guess it makes finding the ones that fit that much better. All these were 6-7-8 - 7-1/8. And prices were roughly $15-35.

This poor Mallory 15 had its brim cut short:

Purple Borsalino anyone?:

All those lids and none fit....

I know that pain all too well.
7 1/8 though, you say?
Hmmmmm...

There were some nice Stetsons and Mallorys, a Resistol and a few Champs and a Adams if I remember right. Mostly late '50s and '60s lids. This was my favorite and really really really wished it fit. For the life of me I can't remember the maker. aristocrat? Is that a maker? Wonder hat. But a 7.

I did buy three that I posted on the new hats topic tread.

Yeah, it was in fantastic shape. Too bad about the brim, though. Sniff. Sniff...

I wish we had that kind of store here... even if they only fit my daughter and my wife!

Hey, easy.. SOME of us are BLESSED with small gourd! What size was that Borsolino?? I'd send you the cash as soon as I know it would fit me!!!

That is a real shame. I have the same problem; I see a nice vintage hat but most of the time they're too small for me.

Unless, of course, I want to look like Hercule Poirot wearing a hat, where the brim rest half way between his crown and his ears. I know that was the way folk wore their hats back in the day but its not something I'm comfortably with. I like the brim just touching, or just slightly above, my ears.

Sorry, wish I could remember. Best guess would be a 7.

Hmmm ... Maybe we should connect. PM me when you get a minute!

I have a bigger problem with the fact that they all seem to be in my size (or close enough) but I'm not anywhere near them!
