Time to share images of (and 'memorialize'?) some vintage 1920s, '30s, '40s, '50s and '60s hats of mine (some of which haven't seen before on the Lounge), before they leave my noggin forever and go off to eBayland.

Early 1930s brushed felt fedora, "Scott & Co." (British), size 7 1/4.

I love that stetson. The dobbs is pretty great, too.
what's the deal with the brim of the stetson?

Marc- the shot of the stetson and the Seymour are the same.

You're right! Thanks! I have to look up the correct Seymour photos.

Wow what a collection. I see some serious bidding wars in ebays future!
When I first saw the "Citation" I thought "that's gonna be my favorite", but there are so many other wonderful hats. I really like the "Disney" and the "Stetson Special". Those would be my top three, in no particular order.

Might I ask, I apologize for being intrusive, but why are you getting rid of your hats? Or is it just that you have too many to wear and it's time to let others enjoy them? Again I apologize if this is rude, just curious
You shall make a nice fortune selling them. It seems that the bay is lacking quality mens fedoras from sellers who actually care about them. I hope you put good reserves on them, they are worth it. Good Luck

 

[Marc Chevalier]

... is it just that you have too many to wear and it's time to let others enjoy them?

That, and the fact that some of them are just too big (or too small) for me.

I'm secretly glad those hats are not size 7 1/2 - if they were, I would be destined for massive credit card debt!

 

[bolthead]

Boy, if my noggin' weren't a size 6 7/8....I'd have a nice set of Homburgs for sure. Porbably a Porkie as well....

1930s "Mallory" homburg, long oval, size 7 5/8.

Hey now a man sized hat. This could work---especially in Long Oval. Hmm.....where is that sniping program?

 

[Matt Deckard]

I say old man... what have you been eating? your complexion is quite shiny.

Is it hot down there today?

I see you've met Helmut. He's a repro of a 1940s German mannequin head. He's permanently oily.

Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine!

OK, Marc you have my attention. So, My good man when does the feeding frenzy begin?
