    I always send this to the seller, it helps: Greetings, I have been buying vintage Fedora hats for a while and here is the info I need to know.

    Post New Hats Here!

    OK, I won't have it touched. It's for sale as is, so pass the word and make me an offer. BTW, the tag says it's 7 1/8 but it sits like a snug 7 3/8. I suppose it streched a little over the years or the last owner had a bigger head like me.

    Post New Hats Here!

    My "New" Crofut & Knapp I wandered into a neighborhood Antiques shop yesterday and while poking around the old clothes racks stumbled on this beautiful Crofut & Knapp. I can't begin to describe what a beautiful "Hand" the felt has.

    Akubra Coober Pedy size 59 For Sale

    I have an Akubra Coober Pedy that my Dad bought back in 1995. I inherited it the next year and wear it occasionally during the winter. It's like new and a great hat, but it spends 99% of the time on the shelf, and it's time it went to someone who will give it the use it deserves. So it's for...
