Such a nice hat. I've never seen one in my size.

Nice choice Bob. The little guy enjoy the ride?Me and the youngun braved the rain and wind to join Mom for a ride to the mailbox (it’s five miles away — I’m not that lazy).
Grabbed the grab-and-go Shudde Bros.

Grazie Eric. You are one of my fellows observed for the quality of the overseas hats that house in your beautiful collection. I always learn something from your hatsAssolutamente bellissimo! Daniele that is one special felt you are showcasing today. I tip my hat in your direction in appreciation for sharing this glorious hat.
Hawes Von Gal, c.1910. Among the rarest of rare... a soft hat with longhair finish produced by a short lived company (founded late 1800s, entered receivership in 1914). Many advertisements for the Hawes $3 hat survive, but precious few examples and almost all are stiff hats in rough condition. Well made and beautifully finished - from the drape of the bow, perhaps a silk ribbon. I don't wear it often - hope you enjoy seeing it.

1950s Dobbs Homburg
Black with Black Cherry Trim
5 3/8 crown with center dent (about 6 open)
2 inch black cherry grosgrain ribbon
2 inch brim to d'orsay with 9/16 binding
Latest arrival 1950s Dobbs Homburg with beautiful black cherry ribbon and binding. The hat arrived in an ample sized box however the seller protectively wrapped the hat in a bag tight enough to leave the brim a bit boxy. Kinda started rounding out over night. The generous crown is about 6 inches open. It does not currently hold any side dents.. in fact it almost seems to prefer open over a center dent. I imagine some steam would allow it to retain various shaping. It arrived in time to accompany my beautiful wife and I yesterday for our 14th anniversary dinner.
