Well hello there!

Since this is my first post on a wanted hat, I'll go ahead and try to be as concise as possible while also trying to be demure to you guys :p. If you need any additional details, please feel free to post below and I'll get back to you as soon as possible!

What I'm Looking For

I am looking for (preferably but not entirely) a Borsalino fedora hat. Like posted in the title, it MUST be vintage. As far as color goes, I'm interested in either a black or grey hat.

Creases

For creases I'm willing to buy one the following: diamond, center dent, or a teardrop. Any other creases, I just really don't find to be my taste. Sorry guys! :(

Hat Parts

Since I'm still learning the whole "hat part" terminology, I'll go ahead and share you all some images of what I'm interested in purchasing.

Thanks

Hello there kiddo, I sure wish I could help you out.....but I am sure someone has a size and style of hat you are looking for. Hang in there and give it some time.

Do you have a price range in mind?

Well, first and foremost I'd honestly appreciate some screenshots before anything. In addition, multiple image with well lit lighting would also be very handy as well.

I can understand that, but if your high end price is $100 (and there are some nice hats for that price), then sending pics of a $250 asking price is non-productive for everyone. Trust us, we're not going to raise a hat's price to fit your budget but we don't want to show you something that costs more than you're willing to pay. If you don't have a limit, you'll be given a lot more choices in all price points.

Very well, then in that case I'd probably say somewhere around $250 or so would suffice.

Sent you a message!

Thanks for messaging me. I might have some interest in purchasing one of the hats you've showed me but I'm more curious in buying a vintage hat to be honest with you. We'll have to see though. Thanks!

I have a very nice and quite rare vintage black Dobbs Double Life that is in your size.

It doesn't fit & the timing is good on my end to part with it. Look up the model & PM me if you are interested, and I'll send photos. It is a pretty wonderful hat because it is lightweight & eminently shapable.

Pm'd with possible interest.

If you still want to message me about that hat I'd still be interested in looking.

I have a couple, actually. Do you have a brim size (2", 2 1/2, etc) that you would prefer?

Bump, in response to brim size.. not particularly. However, something too long does tend to sort of kill the feel for me.

On the other hand, I'm still looking for more offers if anyone out there is looking to get rid of any fedoras. :)
