Hello, I'm looking to purchase top-quality vintage top hats, derbies or fedoras in size 7 3/4 U.S., or larger. If you're looking to make some room, please message me with a photo/description of what you have. I'd say, most of all, I'd love to find a derby/bowler--and all the huge ones, it...

Thanks, Luv...it sure is. The irony is that I've spent my life, stymied by the number of hats that are too small for me. RARELY have I found one that is too big...yet this one sure is! I wore it to an event and realized halfway through that it was sliding over my ears! Though adding some...

Greetings! I have an unusual hat situation, as it is almost always in reverse of what I'm seeking. I'm pretty large of head (7 1/2), but I've actually come to the sad realization that my beloved, all-time favorite (I'm a fairly serious collector) solid (non-collapsible) top hat is just TOO...

A difficult to find vintage 7 5/8 opera hat up for sale on eBay right now: http://www.ebay.com/itm/390794016677?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Alas, I am in New York City. Shipping hats (especially when they have their original boxes, requiring "double-boxing") can be so bloody expensive. Yet, some of my best finds have come from eBay.co.uk, so I wouldn't rule it out. I wonder if the shoppe you mention has a website? Likely not...I...

Still seeking the topper. Just wanted to add, I'd be willing to consider larger, or perhaps a large 7 1/4 as well, depending on the measurements....THANKS ALL!

Well, If they are "EEE" as stated, that is actually triple-wide...the widest shoes made, in fact. These are for REALLY large feet!

Hi gents, I'm in search of a vintage (pre-1960--preferably, 20's-30's) silk plush top hat in good wearable condition. Believe it or not, it's for my girlfriend...who's got a large noggin! (lots of brains in there...that's why she's with me! HA!!). In my "best case scenario," it would have...

The size tag is gone...and the only "X" I can find is the "XXX" as shown in the photo. Do you know when the first Open Road was issued? And/or what years this logo (with the man and the horse) was used? I'd never seen this logo on a Stetson before (though I am admittedly not a Stetson pro)...

I suppose the answer to my question already lies somewhere in the archives...but thought one of you gents could help me date a Stetson Open Road I just acquired. It looks to be 1930's vintage to my semi-untrained eye (judging from the patina, font and clearly quite old logo), but I really don't...

$200 plus shipping. I've been staking out 7 3/4 homburg auctions and that seems a reasonable price, considering the condition (mint) and size (huge).

SOLD! Boy, that was quick!

Hey Guys, Though I've been a "lurker" for years, I haven't really posted anything, so this is my first dip into the Fedora waters! Hope I'm doing this correctly and not busting any rules. I've got a HUGE "mack daddy" homburg for sale, currently on eBay (closing 11/30). It's a real beauty...
