I Didn't Know.....

Man, Douglas is just giving hats away!

I didn't know you even had lids in a size 7 for sale man. :eusa_doh:

 

[bolthead]

Thanks Jimmy....

Missed this the first time around, Bolt. Very interesting. Could you please post a close-up of the ribbon -- looks fairly unique to me, in terms of other Playboys I have seen. Also, I have an idea about the age, but could you please post a shot of the liner? That will help to nail things down a bit.

Happy Birthday -- and congrats on finding a Wish List hat!!!

Cheers,
JtL

I will do that for you.

Richman Bros

Found this Richman Bros black in a 7 1/2 this weekend. They became Richman Steins in 1959, so its 59 or earlier.

This one came in as a real surprise. Some time ago I won a brown Whippet on the 'Bay. A few days later the seller sent me an email and told me that there will be two packages arriving at my door, as she sent off a wrong hat (she couldn't remember what kind of hat but it was a brown one, too) by mistake and shipped the Whippet one day later. She was very nice and told me to keep the other hat and consider it an early christmas present...!

So I was anxiously waiting for the mysterious hat and yesterday finally arrived - a Homburg!

The color is a rich chocolate brown. The binding and the ribbon (heavily soiled, as can be seen in the photos, even though it doesn't really look that bad in person) were originally in a deep cherry red. The overall condition of the hat is ok, and a new ribbon should be put in place.

I gave the hat a naptha bath, steamed out the old crease, put in a center dent and also decided to go with side pinches for now.

The brand name - Carli The Hatter - is a complete mystery to me, but the label says it that the hat was custom made.

I think this is a really nice christmas present!

Wow nice surprise indeed! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Nice font!

Very nice hat, Mario. Brings to mind something I've been thinking about lately-- "Hat fonts." I really dig the "art nouveau" vibe in the font used to print the sweat in your new lid. Not that it's a big deal, but I think, all things being the same, it adds something. I'll have to search to see if there are any threads on this topic. I've seen some cool ones over the years-- art deco, nouveau, classic '50s style fonts -- some neat stuff. Just another neat thing about your new hat. Congrats.

Regards,
GC

Shandon Flat Cap 4 One Penny

I won this cap on eBay for 1 penny bid plus 5.95 shipping.

Its a Shandon Donegal Tweed Woven in Ireland. It has 1 small defect. Maybe a burn mark or a moth hole not sure, anyways it hardley noticeable. For a penny Well worth it it's my first eBay hat score.

Dobbs Cross Country Blue/Green Heather Mix

Mix of blue and green felts. Believe it or not, a 6" open crown with a 2" overwelt brim flanged like a Derby. The dirtiest hat yet to come in a box and I can't detect the original crease at all. Here's a quote from the listing:"The hat is in bran new condition and it has never been worn". More to come in Dobbs Diner.
