Grey Fedora Wanted [Will trade Borsalino Colombo, 30s Borsalino, and Stetson Playboy]

[Chiliarches]

Greetings, all.

I haven't been on the lounge much for a while--I don't have the money to collect hats anymore!--but have just recently had my appetite tempted for a nice grey fedora with very specific attributes. I have a grey Whippet that is close to what I have in mind, but the block shape is not my favorite and I'm not a huge fan of bound edges.

Here is my ideal -

Size: 7-1/8 (true to size - "big" 7-1/8s are definitely too big on me)
Color: Light blue-grey (in any case, a cool grey)
Crown: Tall and straight (I don't have a size particularly in mind - it just has to "look right")
Brim: Medium to large (again, I don't have a size particularly in mind)
Edge: Cavangh/Mode/etc Edge highly preferred - a very nicely done underwelt would be alright also

I know hats like this can't be too uncommon...

Now my part. I will buy this hat from you, or I will trade one of the following-

1) Brown Bulgarian-Hoard Borsalino (allegedly NOS 1930's), Italian size 5 - very much in need of a brushing and steam, but otherwise good-

2) Peach Borsalino Colombo, Italian size 5 (larger end of 7-1/8) -

3) Tan Stetson Playboy, size 7 (large 7 - I am a 7-1/8 and I can wear it) -

I have other hats I might trade, but these are the ones I currently have photos for.

Many thanks!

EDIT: Put the hats I am willing to trade in the thread name

Bump.

No hat to trade, but any interest in otherwise parting with that second one?

Just what he said.....

Again, no hat to trade that fits the bill, but would be very open to negotiate to acquire that peach Borsalino (should it be for sale and Edward somehow turn it down).

Regards, and still loving that Mallory you sold me

I have a charcoal grey Stetson Sovereign Twenty with a Cavanagh-style edge and a 2.25" brim. It shows almost no signs of wear, but it has two or three small moth divots. If this is of interest to you, I'd be happy to take and post some pictures.

Das bump.

Das bump.

Though I don't have anything short of a cheap gray stanza... Are you up for selling any of your lids? You could then put the scratch toward a lid you really want?

Just a thought!

PM me with prices if you're interested. I'm here just over the boarder of WI. Might be up for a road trip to Chi-town for lunch and to pick em up??

Take care!

Edward, Rob, and Brody -

For now, I'm going to leave these up here until I manage to purchase or trade the grey hat I am looking for. Once that happens--assuming these hats are still available--I'll start looking into sales...

In the meantime - who has my hat?

 

[Chiliarches]

BUMP. Still looking. Missed out on eBay today...Yargghh.
