Thx, "just" 4" although it looks and feels broader. I may crimp the wings up a bit...haven't decided yet. It is magnificent though. Check their site which is linked in my post.

I have an old Stetson like that. Yes 4" is a lot Of brim. I have been wearing it around the yard trying to get used to that size. Great hat.

Here's a couple I just picked up. 2 Milans, I posted these pics in some other threads so you may have already seen them.

But the felt one is a real beauty. I just got it yesterday at the Portland Expo Antique show. It's hard to photograph, but it's a very light blue. It was made by a custom hatter. The name on the liner says "Kahn The Hatter" Tacoma. In great shape. It's got a 6 inch crown and a slightly over 2 3/4 inch brim. Not in perfect shape but it's in the 98% of being mint.

This is the 4th Blue fedora I've found at this Antique show over the years.

Thanks Manfred...wore it when I visited the Art Gallery of Ontario today. It had a real purple look under their lights!

Really nice finds, fedoralover! Love the Milans.

Job...wish I could find such a sweet straw. Looks good.

$2.99 Salvation Army Store Find

Picked this up at the Salvation Army store by my house last night. Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about the finer points of hats. What can you tell me about it?
hopefully I picked a winner

"Bonnie Heather"

"MBG"

"Robinsons'

Alan, that is every bit as spectacular as i suspected when I first mentioned it to you. That open crown is us astounding in height, as is the $20 price given its date of sale. The condition is really remarkable and I think you got a dandy at a still-reasonable price. Congrats.

Thanks very much. A 7" crown is quite imposing, but it does allow a lot of options for the bash. The price went high, but I'm not disappointed at all.

Very interesting... the details in your hat immediately reminded me of this 1940s heather lightweight Dobbs Gay Prince. Similar woodgrain imprint in the unreeded sweatband.

That looks like a nice, fairly old hat. I'll bet it's very soft and luxurious?

Zetwal, thanks for the Link! Information about Emerson are rare to find!
There is only one Ad about Emerson!

I picked this one up out of the bay with a very vague ad and a low BIN. I was stoked yesterday when I received it.

The Hat Zen project had to go on break for a few
