I just got a derby today from etsy! It's made by a brand called Chesterfield. It's in almost great shape but, I gotta fix a few small dents nothing big. The sweat needs to be changed too.

Has any one purchase a Montecristi from panamahutdirekt (71 ) If I am reading right he has a hat woven and blocked after payment up to 3-1/2 month wait. Short history selling the hats.

Estate sale find.Really like this Wormser,but wrong size.I would guess age is somewhere in the 1950s.Open crown about 5 1/2",brim 2 1/4",ribbon 2",sweat band 2".Maybe I'll sell it or try to trade it for a hat my size.

just got a Montecristo, in my size no less, all there, but definitely needs a bit of cleaning; soiling is mostly on the top of the brim,
crown looks pretty good; question is, how do I go about cleaning a nice straw without ending up cryin' da blues??

Sweet score, Dogman! I like the bow.

 

[DOGMAN]

Thanks,1mach1.It is cool with the bow in the back of the hat.Very easy to crease.Wish it was my size,but it is a size 7.I will copy the bow for one of my conversions.

Yeah, what ever happened to the telegraph? Or ticker-tape parades, for that matter!

It broken down and isn't portable.

I can think of contexts, where both would be a relief
