man, i wish i could find good eBay fedora hats.

 

[CigarMan]

you can, there are some good finds, change your search terms, try hat maker names, vintage hats, size maybe or even fedora or just hat, you'll be surprised what you find if you dig deep down the lists.

Well, well.....

Thanks everyone, I appreciate all the comments . . .
the hat looks like it's a custom job from Buckaroo Hatters in Brighton, TN. It has a beautiful white satin lining with a label inside calling it The Green Hornet.

I'm assuming after the 1930's radio show/1960's television show hero.

It's size 7 1/8 and has a 2 3/4 in. brim, 1 3/4 in. black grosgrain ribbon, and a 4 1/2 in. crown. Beautiful piece of work.

Two new ones today, both for $25.

NOS Wormser "The Texan". Looks like it was never worn, the trolley cord wasn't even cut loose. The color is close to pure white but there is a hint of light blue in there. Very beautiful.
My first Wormser.

Next, a pretty old Stevens "The Imperial" boater. Decent condition.

That Wormser is a beauty. You've been scoring some nice lids of late, thunderw21. Congrats! :eusa_clap

Cheers,

That's like the Wormser I just bought at a local flea market. It is a great color. Mine didn't have a trolley though.

Thanks, Jimmy. I was having a dry spell there for a while but seem to be back in the swing of things.

HEY! - What the... Why, I oughtta'...

I also seem to remember a "Duck Tracy" runnin' around that evening, no?

 

[Jabos]

This is my second Ebay hat, a Royal Stetson, probably early '60s. Tag says $10.95. Given our newfound candor, I open the door to comments-about the look on me or my bash job. The pinch was a little "gotcheyed" so I had to work on it.

 

[carouselvic]

Looks good to me.

I LOVE IT!
That is the hat I've been looking for.
Looks great on you too.
Good work.

Hey, Jabos.

I really like it when I can offer helpful suggestions and I appreciate your 'give it to me straight, doc' attitude. But after really studying those photos all I can say is I think you aced it!

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

OK, I had an afterthought: Have you ever considered wearing a hat with a tilt to one side? For me it's unnatural to wear a hat any other way, but for some they gotta' be level. I think that hat, and you, would look just that last ounce better with a little 'southside slide' to that brim.

New hat Band

The adventures continue in my new hat cleaning and restoration business. I learned that it's very hard to get materials where I live, so I was forced to make my own hatband. My first attempt. We'll see if the customer likes it.


This is a borso that I cleaned, redyed and did some shaping and made a new hatband for.

Jabos, your new hat looks great! But then I am rather partial to narrower brims. The proportions fit your face and head well. I would love to find a similar hat (in 7 5/8 xxlong oval)!
