I see that JW Hats is selling dozens of blocks and other tools. Has anyone heard if they are going out of business?

Not all Bailey hats are created equal. In the three seconds it took me to click buy it now someone else beat me. I hope it was someone here.

A pleated liner and felt that looks pretty darn nice. What do you think of the peace sign crease?

sweet hat. what size was it?

sweet hat. what size was it?

It’s a size 7 1/2. The mincer and sweatband show that it’s a nice vintage hat, but I can tell from the photos that the felt is special too.

The sale is not listed on their web page. Where did you source it?

I find them on eBay. From the user name and location I assumed it was JW hats. Check ebay for user Jwrhats9.

Found it....interesting selection. It looks to me like spring cleaning garage sale stuff.

Well, heck, I owe the venerable Frunobulax an apology!
There I was, happily cursing away about him being so pedantic with "That's not a bowler" and I'm thinking fine, it's a derby, gimme a break, who cares, etc.
Well, guess what? That's not a bowler! It's not even a derby!
It's some midget Knox 20 that instantly took a center crease!
Forgive me for doubting you.
Perfect shape, if nothing else.

And a very nice Not-a-bowler it is!

Odd, that's what my wife calls me...
So I gave her toilet paper with a hand written card for Valentine's Day, at least it was a four pack!
She said we were out so I went shopping early in the morning just for her, so what if it was freezing out and the wind was whipping like crazy.
It was even a soft ply, what more can you ask for? You'd think it would be like a dream come true but no, just complaints.
Actually, she laughed first and then complained.

And now, back to hats.

For Valentine's you're supposed to give real Angel Soft.
