I've got the bug.

Yup, I have a full-blown case of Fedora Acquisition Disorder.

Just won these two vintage specimens:

Dobbs:

Knox:

Pics shall be posted when said hats arrive. I just hope I can curb my enthusiasm in the future; don't think my bank account could take the strain over an extended period.

So, what d'you guys think? Did I do alright?

Cheers,

Mike

Yessir! You've got yourself some nice vintage there. Opened crowned, too! What a treat! The bashing is half the fun! You're going to have a lot of fun!

I love finding open-crowned hats on the Bay. The casual shopper doesn't know what to make of them, so you can get a better deal. And, of course, putting your own shape in them is half the fun.

Great hats!

Both very nice looking hats. But I am going to go against the grain and say that the dobbs is not an open crown. It looks to me like the front of the hat in the pictures is fighting a center crease that was pretty well blocked in. Someone might have just popped the crease out for no good reason. Not like it matters but it just looked that way to me.
