Eagle hats has been around a long time. Some really great ads for them in the American Hatter issues. Not sure that its the same Eagle hats as Robert's.

Yes they seem to have a whole page ad in every American Hatter in the first quarter of the 20th Century as well as articles concerning personnel.

I just secured the following for $24 as part of my seriously cheap hat quest. Borsalino velour? Looks good to me but can I pull off either the style or colour in these depths of central London?

Greetings all, I'm de-lurking and trying to add a bit to the board instead. I posted this lid in the what hat are you wearing today thread and thought it deserved a little more detail. Recently aquired Knox. Softest hat I own by far. It's like petting a bunny. (Not that I sit around and pet my hats.... as far as you all know) I really dig the "half-bow" as I call it, and the fact that the "ribbon" is actually a very soft stretchy material. I hope the late day sun shows off the texture.

Very rich brown--almost edible. Does your eyes well too. The hat looks heavy, but I'm guessing it's the pencil roll, etc.

What $11 Will Buy You

Last week, I spotted this Black LONG OVAL Cattleman listed cheap; I shot in an opening bid for $11 and dropped the guy a note for with instructions on where to find sizing and felt info. He added the info to the listing and was honest about it as he could be. Unfortunately, nobody else bid.

Anyway, the 5X Beaver brand black Cattleman arrived today, and it is as filthy dusty as described, and at 7 1/2 it's a notch too big. But for that price, I'll send it off for a cleaning and shrinkage...oh, and did I mention the hat was free? I figure I paid $10.75 for the plastic carrying case which was apparently stored NEXT TO the hat...yuk.

... I figure I paid $10.75 for the plastic carrying case....

Nice snag on the hat can with a hat kicker. Nice scooter too! Ride safe, ride often....

A Derby Wiener?

Now, THATS a great place to get a hot dog late night in Chicago. After some of the bars let out around 2am, it gets pretty wild in that place. I'm sure there is some youtube footage somewhere....

My new Stetson Palazzo. I love the hat, just not wild on the bash, and I wish the brim was a little wider.

Hi Ray, you did great, that's a $60 (roughly) plastic Hammer Plastics brand case. I own two three hat ones, and a single like that one. They're great for storage, and for car travel anyway.

I'd like to see this on you. That brim is beyond stingy; it's down-right parsimonious. Fun find and welcome into the sunlight.

Update: just found your pic with it up there--looks great on you!

I hope these pictures don't look too awful bad with my $60 shoes as a prop, but this is my new favorite hat! At some point I'll take a picture of it on my cabeza and post that on here!
