What hat are you waiting for today?

Arrived in Texas already, just have to pick it up. Seller said it was from the 30s-40s.

Actually, it was Steven's find. I wouldn't have known what to look for at the time. Hell, I still don't, who am I kidding.

On it’s way... sure hope it fits..

Anticipating a few Borsalinos. I believe @mayserwegener previously shared a great hat with a similar colorful liner logo (bottom left).

Tonio, Looking forward to see all 3. The Stiff Felt liner is really something. Yes I have a Echter Borsalino with a similar liner logo. My guess is late 1930s early 1940s.

Crud. Gambled and lost – it’s sooo cool. But it’s just too small...

Ok i gotta make a confession.
Today was my grandaughter Willow’s first birthday. We went for a lunch celebration. My phone alarm went off. Oops!!
I guess i have a white No.1 to match my black one coming.
I fell off the wagon. Nobody said a word!!
Lol

I thought you had gone straight... or worse, joined the leather jacket crowd! Oh, the shame!

If it’s the No. 1 that was wrongly listed as a size 7 3/4, I saw it but didn’t think of you because you were thinning your hats down and not buying more, right?

I saw the photo of the size tag on the “7 3/4” and cursed under my breath. I don’t know how many 7 5/8 hats are actually 7 3/8 or how many 7 3/4 turn out to be 7 1/4. I’ve even had sellers tell me that 7 1/4 is a size large and should fit my 7 5/8 head with no problem. Priceless.

Now we need you to call me back to the light and leave those jacket people alone. Repeat after me: Leather is for sweatbands, not outerwear.

...23?!?!?

Sounds to me you’re a lost cause. Too bad, you were a nice guy with some great hats. Now you’re dead to us.

Nice! A few years ago I would have said that I’d never want a bowler and now I’m constantly looking for one. Hens teeth in the larger sizes.

Thanks Brent! Let's hope the size works out. The last time I trusted someone's measurements I ended up with a size 7 (and I wear 7-1/2 LO). I was so disappointed that I kicked the hat out of the country...

Nice snag Ed! Looks like a good one. Was it the red liner that called to you?
