*SOLD* Aaron Hats Own Label "The Howard" Fur Felt Fedora*SOLD*

[Rick Blaine]

BNWOT. Just what it looks like, a contemporary approximation of a golden era staple. It was created and named in the wake of Scorsese's "The Aviator", I am sure.

Created by & for the absent lamented vendor, valued TFL member & all around stand-up guy Aaron of the late Aaron Hats in Conway NH, both an online & bricks & mortar establishment that fell prey to the current economy.

For me, I find it has the same shortcomings of modern Stetsons- i.e.- too low crowned and too 'machine pressed' in shape, difficult to 'put your own stamp' on, so to say. Otherwise a nice enough hat w/ nice details- 2.5" bound brim, thin ribbon, leather sweat, 100% fur felt ... all the things that usually "pop my cork" but I just can't abide the lower (4 1/4") crown.
Size: "L"- (I know- ) but it fits my 23", dead on, 7 3/8, head quite well.

So if you are a "modern Stetson" guy this is your hat.

Never worn and purchased to satisfy my curiosity. I have fifty three in it (I'll give you the auction # if you wish) but I'd eat a little crow and take fifty even, shipped, slow boat, in USA. International more. PP only. You know what to do...

THANKS!

I bet it was named for the film Seabiscuit, and Charles Howard {owner}.
By the way, nice hat.

Funny, I haven't seen Seabiscuit, yet I thought of the same hat...

Were it a touch smaller, I'd buy it right now. I think it has possibilities.

I stand corrected. That's why they pay you the big bux 'round here.

Thanks!

This is my first post although I have been a lurker for a while. I don't think that I can pm you. I will take the hat @ fifty shipped, if still available.


thanks

Yer just the other side of the mountains from Knoxvegas, I'll meetcha halfway, eh BlackCloud?

Make a few more short posts along the line of "nice hat" or "good score" 'til you reach 15 posts & then we can PM one & other to hammer out the details. Sound right to you?

Best & WELCOME to TFL, my favorite place on the www!

P.S.- or an alternative; if you don't mind your email address posted here I can just send you an invoice. -duh- don't know why that didn't occur to me...
