Help me find my final hat...

[Aureliano]

Maybe I should've posted this in the classifieds. I didn't 'cause, apart from this being a WTB ad, is also a statement. Statement many of us have probably made at some point but this time around it's for good for me.
Through the years I've acquired many hats and in recent past I decided to sell the ones that I didn't wear and those that I purchased for the sake of buying and collecting. I'm keeping those I wear and decided that I have everything I always wanted (that includes my beloved 30s Vagabond!) Except for one.
Help me find a Mallory Nokabout, ideally gray in 71/8 -1/4.
PM me if you have one and are willing to sell or if you have a tip or lead to the whereabouts of one.
I'm pleased with my desision and I'm positive I'm gonna stick to it.
I'm not leaving the lounge, though. You ain't gettin' rid of me!

Oh, so you've gone on the 12 brim program? Who is your sponsor?
I wish you all the luck but I have fallen off the wagon so many times I have scars but my noggin is pristine!

How about a mint 1960's Knox backbow porkpie in brown, a 7 1/8?

You guys crack me up. The Knockabout, and that'd be it.

I've just recently come to the same decision.....but this morning I found this great hat floating in the bay.....!!!!
Good luck with your search!

My opinion is what like Good Latinamerican, You must use every time a Super fino Montecristi, this hats are my favourite, I belive wich thats are the best in all the world.¡¡¡¡¡

Searching for that elusive great white, eh? Be careful what you wish for, as we know what happened to Ahab when he finally caught up with his.

Seriously though, I came to a somewhat similar decision a while back (on a more modest scale than you), and have one more hat that I think would round out my collection. I'm not looking for it though, just waiting to see if something that fills the bill will come my way. In the meantime, I window shop as much as I want, with no pressure to buy anything unless the perfect candidate comes along. If I ever get the hat, I would probably have to swear off the lounge, otherwise the temptation to keep buying would no doubt prove to be too strong to resist.

You may be right.

I own my late dad's Montecristi, woven the year before I was born (1979) thin as a paper with a gorgeous patina very similar to Gene's Arcentales. I have the darn thing insured!

Having grown in an environment where I needed to make tough decisions and stick to them, I'm very good at keeping my word when I say I'd do something. I'm 100% positive I wont relapse. I want this Knockabout which, added to a VS I ordered in late January to copy a hat long lost, will close my hat wardrobe. Too many hats make me feel like I'm hoarding!

I'll keep my eyes open for the Nokabout, but let's talk about what you have left to divest yourself of in 7 1/4!

Nothing man. I'm done selling.
