Because when a nice vintage hat in that size comes up for sale you can't buy it for $50.00.Why are all those 7 5/8ers so selfish?
Amen!

Nor I can't do the same with a 7 1/4 - 7 3/8 size vintage hat.

It can happen. You just have to be lucky - and a bit obsessive. I'm a 7 1/4 and I've picked up some deals.
F'rinstance, there was that Stetson 3X that was listed under Vintage Mantle Clocks 1935 - 1960.

The second part of the last finds
A fancy Christys long hair hat
Size 59 cm 7 3/8 US a little bit larger than a normal hat of this size
The fur felt is really astounding in finish and in color
From this outluck you can see the long hair in its best
Ribbon is the same material in another shade of this "sable" as stated on the paper label
A recent Borsalino made after the historical factory was over in the eighties
Size is 6 French, 59 cm. EU or 7 3/8 US a true size
The felt is a short hair type very malleable and lustre
Classic Borsalino style and appeal

Love that Christy's long hair!
Just realized that I haven't got a new hat since September. I must do something about that.
And soon!

Do you mean besides the $10-20 at a time I hide away?
Hmmm...my wife said she was going to start Christmas shopping this weekend. She asked for suggestions. I pointed her to Batsake's (local hat shop where I got my one extra fine hat. She was not amused) ...perhaps I should send her to someone who has hoarded all of the 7 5/8s around.
