Apparently 7 1/8 and 7 5/8 really aren’t the same thing. Who knew? The joys of buying vintage hats online!

I didn’t think my hat stretcher was up to the task so it is now off to a new owner.

I think they were meant to be worn high on the head.............though perhaps not quite that high.....

I feel your pain @deadlyhandsome !

Note to sellers: A front to back measurement of 7-1/2 inches does NOT mean you have a "Size 7-1/2" hat!

you probably wouldn't want to go much smaller than that though. It would start to look silly...

With great trepidation, I opened the box on my latest purchase: a cheap Mexican-made western, intended for experimental conversion. Interesting hat, color reminds me of a grulla pony I had years ago. Crown is about 4 1/2" as currently-shaped, so it is workable for my purposes. the only bad point I can see to the hat is that it would probably go about 52 on the Rockwell 'C' scale. I think I'll give it a soak in alcohol to see how much shellac washes out.

Me thinks you skipped some dare protocol......but then there it is.......the dreaded Triple Dog Dare........now he (and perhaps even all of us) HAVE to comply now!
Wow......just when I thought I made it through another day unscathed.....

We’ve all been here. There’s a Dobbs fedora in the box. Who thinks it’s alright to ship hats like this?
