Here’s something different. I bought this from eBay, but the seller made several errors in the listing. I was refunded, but the seller doesn’t want the hat back. I’d feel like a scammer if I sold it so I’m offering it here for free to a good home.

Thomas F. Hirt Hatter Superior quality custom western. It measures at a size 7 3/8. This is a soft western felt without a stiff core like most modern western hats. Send me a PM if you’re interested and we can confirm sizing too.

No interest on this hat? I’ve sent a PM to Ed @Desert dog I miss seeing Ed and his hats.

I’m also offering a satisfaction guarantee: love it or double your money back! ;)

In the spirit of my annual year end cleaning up of my life I offer an Akubra Sydney. It is similar (identical) to the Stylemaster (bought from David Morgan the NA Akubra distributor) but with a raw brim edge.
Fawn colour, size 60. In like new condition, seldom worn.
Shipping from Canada to Canadian or US address is $20US.
Has anyone shown interest in this hat?

I am determined to get my count down to 90. I have 3 display cases that hold 30 each. Right now I'm at 96 (39 straw and 57 felt). To start whittling down the numbers I'm giving this project hat away. The brim is just too wide for me at 3 1/2" all around. The crown is 4" all around.

I have removed what would jokingly be called the sweatband with the intent of sizing it down to fit me. It's got to be a 7 3/8 and I'm closer to a 7 1/8.

Lucchese Shantung Straw - yours for the cost of shipping.

I'll offer this one up.

Biltmore Designer Series Fedora

Custom Crafted

Granite Color

True 7 1/2 size

Velour Finish

Rear Brim 2 5/16"
s-l500.jpg


Front Brim 2 1/4"

Side Brim 1 13/16"

Front Crown Center approximately 4 1/2", either side of Center is approximately 5"

Very nice feel to the Felt, with the Velour Finish.

I'm a 60.5cm and the hat is 60cm. Too tight of a fit and I like it too much to stretch it.

The picture above reflects 23 1/2 written in ink on the reverse of the sweat band. Based on the fit on my head, I believe the hat is a 7 3/8.

Straw Bowler Hat

Natural color

Blue Ribbon

I was told by the person I purchased the hat from that it was made by Art Fawcett.

There is a small hole in the top of the hat. I took several pictures showing it.

Shipping is flat rate large box priority mail.

Very nice! Arts hat usually have a stamp on the sweatband. The stamp is very light and can often only be found if you’re really looking for it and if viewed at the correct angle. Someone is getting a great hat!

I gave a friend at work a nice Borsalino last week, and had brought a stingy brimmed Biltmore to give him a bit of a choice. Someone I work with mentioned how much her Father loves hats. Knowing her Father I had her take it to him. It was the best day he had in the past few weeks (stage 4 cancer). That made my week!

Hi guys, just wanted to pay forward a kindness (in the form of a hat) that was originally given to me by the wonderful @deadlyhandsome. A vintage Disney, size 7 1/8, 2 3/8“ brim. See post #27 on page 2 of this thread for more pix.

This second hat is an akubra stylemaster, size 57, acorn color, 2.5” brim. i’ve worn it a handful of times but it’s just not my style so hopefully it goes to someone who can get more use out of it.
