Thanks. I hope it isn't overkill.Thanks for the great old hat ads, Dave.
I very seldom see a bowler for sale on the bay. Never see one in an antique shop. I feel like I should have at least one but I'm to tight to pay a couple hundred for a fur felt Stetson bowler so where do you guys find these bowlers ? My local hat shop, Levine, usually has a few but they are either cheap looking stiff wool or damn expensive. Besides , it's fun finding nice old hats in great shape for a good price.

That is superb & I really like the curved shape. Very sharp & timeless!I took some photos wearing it so the curved form will be more apparent. This is one of my best Stiff Felt finds.
Jack, Thank you! I believe this is the only Stiff Felt I have with a purposeful curve front to back (similar to the ones in posted catalog). You can get a curve if the Stiff Felt is stretched too much front to back but the curve will not be uniform and the front and rear Brims will not be flat.That is superb & I really like the curved shape. Very sharp & timeless!
