The Brisbane Building, home to the Kleinhans Company noted above, was built in 1894-96 on property formerly occupied by the Arcade. The Arcade, destroyed by fire in 1893, likely housed John Emig's business which sold this top hat circa 1860.

Does it count if you get a new hat made by a vintage guy at a vintage store?

Of course it does!

Above is the 6th & Vine location. They moved there after being in Walnut St. since 1907 (the contemporary arts center is there now).

Beautiful hat, James. Beautiful. Do you mind saying how much it cost, and if it was conformed to your head?

He charges $350 for a custom and it takes about 2-3 weeks until he calls you to come get it. We didn't discuss anything like extras for brim binding or anything and I don't think he charges more for anything else He didn't use a conformer, but I really don't need it. I'm a pretty true 7 1/4, and it fit great right away. When I went to pick it up, he was concerned about the fit, so I got the impression he would have tweaked it a bit if it needed it.

Thank you, Jim.
I think I would be a true 7 1/4 if it weren't for the weird lumps im my forehead. I would hope they correspond to overdeveloped frontal lobes, if I didn't know I was kidding myself. [emoji2]

Those lumps aren't from Ana and the frying pan?
