Johnnyphi Hat Club

[Sam Craig]

Miracles do happen, but it seems that for every miracle there is a horror story

Years ago I worked with an elderly gentleman who was in prisoner registration with the ETO in World War II

He had a habit of "confiscating" interesting Third Reich uniforms, firearms, swords, etc

He sent them home by mail and his father, who managed a local department store, filled a store front window with the growing collection .. . They remained on display throughout the war.

When he came home after the war, the items were boxed up and over the years this gentleman had sold off all of the firearms. He kept a couple of the swords for display

One day I asked him what ever became of the uniforms ... hoping I could get a cap or two ... His replay was that he got into the cardboard boxes after a few years and "bugs got to them" so he threw the uniforms away.

Who knows what all was lost!

That one looks great Chinaski! I definitely like the ribbon on it.

Hey, Scion, thanks! Yes, I think it's a nice ribbon treatment as well.

Wow!
What I wouldn't give to be able to shrink my 7 3/8 melon down to a 7.
It's a buffet of vintage goodness.

Hi guys.. Haven't been in here much at all lately. I'm still a breathin'

 

[Redwoodjedi]

Just ordered a...

...fedora royalist supreme brown in a 6 7/8 for $20 US. It's got a little bit of moth nibbles on the edge binding but nothing serious. I thought it would make a nice beater. I will post photos when it arrives.

Thanks Johnny!

My new/old Royalist Supreme!

Sorry I didn't measure the dimensions but here are some particulars. I know nothing of this company other than it is top notch quality. I've never heard of Royalist until Johnnyphi.

Color: Brown
Ribbon/Edge Binding: Moss Green

This is simply a beautiful hat and is my new, instant favorite, everyday hat that will live just about permanently on my noggin. The felt is paper thin and buttery soft. There are a few minor moth nibbles on the Edge Binding that I might have replaced sometime. There is also to slight moth damage to the liner. The felt is perfect and impeccable. I can't say it enough. I LOVE THIS HAT!!!

And of course we need a pic of me wearin' this fine lid, right? Here ya' go:

Cheers,

RJ

 

[Mahagonny Bill]

Very nice :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

If I could wear a 6 7/8 I would be grabbing all the Johnnyphi hats I could. You are a lucky, lucky man.

 

[Redwoodjedi]

Thank you kind sir! It's a curse and a blessing. Johnnyphi has a lot of them. eBay never does. Frustrating to have a pinhead!

 

[johnnyphi]

Very Cool!

I can't tell you how happy I am to read your comments about the Royalist. I knew they were great hats, but they weren't a "name brand", so I didn't treat them the same as the rest of the hats. I wish I had, but I'm glad that you ended up as the beneficiary!

Keep in mind... I have a TON of amazing 6 7/8 hats left. Many of them are in MUCH better condition than your Royalist. Take a look at the Lee hats... You won't find a finer hat.

PS - I'm a fan of Irish beverages, as well!

New Hat

Here is my hat I bought recently from Johnnyphi an Adam Premier Executive:

I rebashed it myself into a teardrop, using the excellent instructions available elsewhere here, and am rather proud of the result, as I had never rebashed a hat before.

 

[Mr. Paladin]

That Adam Premier looks very sharp with your attire, sir. Great picture location too.

ADAM

SCHOBLE

Both of those work well on you. I like the first one the best as the tougher look. A good color on both, but they're definitely in the "good to go" category.

 

[Jabos]

Check out the classifieds. I am selling a Johnnyphi Adam 7 3/8, no mothing, that I purchased from the original auction winner. He sold it to me because it didn't fit him well. Now, I need funds for a new Art hat and the new hat is close to this Adam in style, so I must part with it.

 

[Hereward]

A couple of great hats. I love the edge trim on the right one.

 

[Joshbru3]

I just purchased 6 hats from Johnny this past week. Since I'm a size 7, there were a couple hats that caught my eye, as well as a couple 6 7/8's that will need a slight stretch. I am just posting one picture of each hat, but I will be posted detailed pics for each one in their appropriate threads.
