All hats are size 7 1/8 and will work for a size 7 as well. The hats feature a grosgrain sweatband which makes it very comfortable to wear and completely crushable with no damage whatsoever to the hat. The felt is very soft and flexible. The felt has a slightly longer nap than the typical short, dense finish. Mr Green calls it sueded finish.

Mr Green hats is an offshoot of the Louise Green Millinery in L.A.
Their mens line, Mr Green hats, consists of well-made rabbit fur felt hats in the 1960s stingy style. They retail for $245.- (puggaree bands) and $230,- (petersham bands).

If you're into stingies or if you're looking for some nice lids for your kids, these are 60,- each (or 150,- for all of them) shipped from Germany to the U.S.
These were my first hats, then I found out that stingies don't work for me. I think they do work great for kids and, quite surprisingly, also for ladies, especially smaller-framed persons. I gave a few more of these styles away and they were greatly appreciated.

Feel free to make me a shameless offer, especially if you want the whole bunch for your kids. :)


Mr Green Donovan chocolate brown w/ underwelt, 1 3/4" brim. Original 1940s vintage woven silk puggaree in brown/ cream/ orange/ rust.

How about $ 48.- shipped to the U.S. for each, or $ 120.- for all three hats?

Still open to offers, too.

Bump.

In addition to these three, I have two more Mr Green hats, all in the same size.

One is a Porkpie in light brown w/ dk. brown; the other is the David model in a two-tone felt with mid gray crown and tan brim, with dark velvet band and brim binding.

PM me if interested.

Your description, and the general consensus here, seems to indicate a general dislike for the stingy brim fedora. I wonder why.
I have a small face, and though I am a total newbie to this world of fine hats, I think that a restricted brim and not too tall crown work best for me.
Are you still selling these hats?
$80 including shipping, to Canada?

Yes you can still have them. I'll check shipping cost to Canada tomorrow. If it's the same as shipping from Germany to the States then yes, they'd be yours for $80.

As for the preference of wider brims, well most of us here are more into the styles pre-1960s - mostly 1930s to 1950s. However, there are quite a few members who also wear stingies, and some who prefer them over the wider brims. It all boils down to personal preferences.
If you like stingies, I'm sure the Mr Green hats will be a good choice. The vintage silk ribbon is quite something. Even the felt smells good. :)

You can contact me via this thread, or try clicking my Lounge name above my avatar, then send email. Payment via paypal.

You'll be able to send and receive PMs once you have 15 posts.

Two inch brim on the brown one? I might be interested in a 2 inch brown one. Let me know if the other guy falls through or he wants just two and you could sell me the brown perhaps or he may PM me.
