This is the largest 7 3/8 I've come across, probably closer to 7 1/2 or maybe a little bigger. Have to figure out what to do with it. Both hats appear unworn. View attachment 83623 View attachment 83624 View attachment 83625 View attachment 83626

Two superb looking hats! Congrats one these.

Thank you very much.

took a chance on this Dobbs Country Comfort ... one because I never heard of it before ... and two because it reminded me of my Railbird
Got it for next to nothing

Not in perfect condition... but it's a sweet fuzzy little 50s number ... I dig it

It will be a great autumn/winter piece

With its cousin a Stetson Railbird

Heather and fuzzy: what more could you ask for? Better condition maybe, but that's a great looking hat.

thank you sir ... yeah I really like it ...
I've been getting more into the felt band hats lately ... they have a certain charm about them
it has a very sporty hunting or fishing vibe ... maybe a day at the horse track type hat like the Railbird ... I dig it

Everything the others have said and then some: fabulous!

Thank you!

Champ Featherweight I scored at a local antique shop for $20. Another 10 got me the original box. Box says Featherweight in Charcoal Gray. This must have been a higher model featherweight as it's dressier than my tan one which has the same box, sweat, name etc. Pics are after soaked it in naphtha and brushed. This is the best it would cleanup.

It's possible neither has the exact box the hat was intended for. Although the tan one is clearly labeled size 7 Champ Featherweight, the box I got it in from an estate sale is labeled a 7 1/8 Polara in Black. The grey one is simply labeled 7 1/8 Champ but the box states 7 1/4 Featherweight in "Char Grey". Both brim widths are 2 1/4"

Thanks for letting me share my 2 Champ hats.

I'm a bit late with my comments, but these are two fantastic looking borsalino's. You did well there, Christophe.

Thanks! Challenge now is to get it back home. Security scan tried to crush one of them!

Just more evidence of how amazing people are around here

This showed up today... a gift from Doug @FedOregon to my daughter for absolutely no other reason than that the man has a beautifully kind heart.

Doug she was so excited while opening it...
She (and my wife) loves the hat ... and the personalized hand written note to her was just a wonderful touch

You are a good man my friend

The fact that this is the 3rd time folks here on the lounge have sent my children gifts out of the kindness of their hearts (you know who you are) speaks volumes about the company I keep around here

Thank you Doug

Any hat that looks like it should only be worn at a horse track or pool hall is okay by me.

"Railbird" sounds cool & makes me think it belongs in Jazz clubs in the 60's.

the name comes from the college age kids who would sit on the rails of the race track in the 50s ... they were tagged Railbirds

It's a great hat
