The hard-to-find or unusual Hat Circle

[Zombie_61]

Is it considered a hard-to-find hat if I know I own it but don't know where it is?

Guy walks into an Army/Navy Surplus store and asks the clerk, "Do you have any camouflage trousers?" The clerk replies, "Yeah, but we can't find 'em."

That reminds me. @AbbaDatDeHat has to get the Camoliner in here.

Oh, absolutely! Great hat, that one.

Stetson Ermine. It took Graham Thompson of Optimo four months of ozone chamber treatments and repeated cleanings to get rid of the humidity stains and the musty smell that came with them
He says it is the finest felt he has handled.
Thin, and very strong.

And not to be upstaged...the only Camoliner in the world. Harder to find then well....Ermine teeth. (sorry Max, had to)

You think that “To Duplicate” number is still valid? I’d like one!

Bought from Bob Hufford.
Stetson 150.
It is tagged 7 1/8, but it fits perfectly, and I am a 58.5. It doesn't seem to have been stretched or resized, @BobHufford , and I can't remember if you commented on that.

Borsalino boater. Size 56 with the brim at 5cm and the crown at 9cm. Excellent condition. The owner was born in 1896 and it was sold to me by his daughter. Hard to tell the age. Borsalino didn't make boaters themselves of course, so this was sourced. First time I've seen a Borsalino boater though and that's the reason why it's posted here.

Cavanagh Fifty Silgrey with Park Ave. at 47th St. address.
The "Fifty" is not marked on the sweatband, but the price was fifty dollars. Wonderful felt, with an excellent hand. It is only slightly thicker than the Stetson Ermine's.
The verdigris stain is the strongest I've seen. Ignacio will take care of it.

Magnificent, Max. A size 6 7/8; that would need far less stretching to fit me

How much brim will be left after Ignacio’s ministrations (voodoo)?
