Hello, Cleveland!

Passing on a size 7 light grey vintage felt with a 2 3/4 overwelt brim and classic proportions. Labeled 7 1/8 with what looks like a Stetson keyhole tag (though definitely smaller than a 7 1/8) I wondered if it was a Stetson that had at some point been given a new sweatband and liner but don’t think so. I think it is an inexpensive factory hat sold as a local brand. It’s in quite good condition, the felt is unexceptional but soft, thick winter weight and easily shaped.

It’s not fancy but a good looking hat—the perfect thing for rain or snow if you think you might be getting some of that stuff.

Yours for $15 shipping, send me a PM.

I was gifted this Kevin McAndrew black homburg by a very good friend but it never seems to make it into my rotation. I cannot, in good conscience, sell it for a profit, thus I am offering it here to someone in need of a short brimmed homburg in size 7 1/8. Crown 4 1/2 as creased, brim 1 3/4 to 1 1/2, ribbon 2. Overall excellent condition. Cover shipping for $15 CONUS and it is yours. Perhaps one of you needs an entry into the Homburg Nation!

Interesting. The first hat I ever bought had that Superior hat liner. I could never find anything about it. My guess it is a refurbished hat and the place it was done at was called "Superior". I always suspected mine was originally a Lee hat.

I’ve always liked hats. My grandfathers fedoras, my other grandfathers baseball hats. A year or so before COVID I started exploring dress hats and learning about them. I purchased a good number over the last few years and learned about maintenance, care, steaming, what I like, what I don’t like. I frequented the lounge for a while, but not recently.

I’ve got 8 hats that I need to share with others. Most are size 7 but some are a touch bigger. A Beaver Hats, old Stetson, newish Stetson, summer Stetson, Crofut & Knapp Milan, Borsalino Traveller, Tonak, and a Dobbs.

What are some good ways to share these? Take them to a vintage clothing store and give/sell them? Is there something in the lounge that would help?

I’m not too worried about money, mainly want the find folks that want to try something out, want to learn and experiment.

Hope you’re having a great weekend!

Nice of you to think of others.

This is the thread to give away hats (but maybe collect shipping).

https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/pass-the-hat-please.105355/

And there is always the Classifieds if you want to sell them.

Hi, new to the forums. I was wondering if you still have any size 7’s laying around ? Preferably Stetsons but definitely open to other brands!

For people with an even smaller headsize than I have. Here''s a chance to own a vintage French/Austrian pre-war velours hat for only the shipping costs.
Bruas velours hat for Au Chapeau d'Or. Size 55 with the raw edge brim at 5,4cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. Felt seems to have been made by Hukber (could also be Huleber) of Wien, Austria. Really a quality velours. I could try and stretch it. but the leather has already shrunk somewhat and I have velour hats that fit me, so I don't need to. It would be pining away in a pile if nobody wants it.

And for people with a hatsize that's close to ridiculous, here's another one.
Au Chapeau d'Or velours hat in a size 54. Raw edge brim at 5,5cm and the crown at 10,5 at the center dent. Au Chapeau d'Or was actually the retailer, but there's no label inside the hat. Very decent pre-war velour hat, but it took me a while to get it back to its original glory.

 

[Mighty44]

This one really has too many condition issues to try and sell but it's taking up valuable closet space. I never wear it but think it is beautiful and if I had a house I'd probably make this my mowing hat.

1940s Resistol fedora with a 2 3/4 brim, size 7 1/8. Sold in Hiawatha, KS. Moth-chewed top and bottom and been worn a lot. Sweatband coming loose. But look at those colors!

Looking for a good home for this flea-bitten, mangy pup--just pay the $15 shipping.

Can't take the site most days--if interested then email me: french44nyc@gmail.com

Cheers,

David

A few weeks ago I received a mystery box from @Rmccamey and found this sweet little Mayser inside. Today it had its maiden voyage - thanks so much Randy, this hat is a welcome addition to my spring collection!

Great thread.

Happy Easter/Passover/start of Spring/start of Fall.

Thank you. And yes, Randy deserves major kudos - he is a true community builder. Old time Loungers like him are a great example for us youngsters.

Looking good, Nathan!
