MYER CLOTHS, fedora - MIDDLETOWN OHIO

[RBH]

I got to my in-laws house tonight and my father in law had picked up a fedora at an estate sale for a super low price.

It is a size 7 3\8 that I think I can get a 7 1\2 out of.
It is a BRYON fedora, grey with wind trolly and bound edge, sold at
MYERS CLOTHES LTD. MIDDLETOWN OHIO.The price tag under the sweat states $8.95.
Does any of our Ohio brethern know of Myers?

Cool, RBH. Looks like you got yourself a Whippet-esque lid! Looks to be in great shape, too. I look forward to seeing it on your noggin if you are able to stretch it successfully!

Cheers,

Its a sweet hat and before I mess it up I will just leave it alone.
Here lately I am not too keen on stretching hats up a size. I do use my stretcher to keep my 7 1\2s up to snuff.

Nice lid!

Too nice to mess with, IMO.

Too nice to mess with, IMO.

HotDog! thats a nice hat!:eusa_clap

 

[Razzman]

That's a fine looking lid!:eusa_clap The brim appears to be a bit on the stingy side for you.

Sweet.

Nice, hat, Russ. Can't beat the color, the ribbon or the binding. Very nice.

I can wear a 7 3/8.

Middleton or Middletown?

I am wondering if it was Middleton or Middletown, Ohio? Although I have never heard of Middleton, I have heard of Middletown...it's my home town! It is located 32 miles north of Cincinnati and 30 miles south of Dayton...hence the name!

I do not recall a Myer Cloths or anything like that while growing up there. All of my family still lives in that area, and my brother is a bit of a historian when it comes to the town. He happens to be here visiting me at the moment, so I will check with him to see if he has any knowledge of Myer Cloths.

 

[RBH]

My mistake... it is Middletown.

 

[Hat Head]

Nice looking lid.

I'm a 7 3/8.

I'm just saying . . .

 

[Rick Blaine]

NICE!

Very nice! Rather whippet-esque don't you think?

I like your thinking on this one, Rusty. First, do no harm. (As one who has indeed done his share of harm, I feel entitled to offer such advice.)

We all know that some lids will take a stretch better than others. At worst, it would make fine barter material. And that's a plenty good outcome, eh?

 

[RBH]

Thanks all... this is a sweet hat, just one small moth nibble at the back of the crown.
Tony, that may be what I do, although I have never heard of Bryon this felt is really nice.
