That was quite eloquent Rick. You know you have a few hats yourself. Dinerman and ScottF have great collections too.

pocket or not it is fabulous

Wow, that is a pocket hat? That looks fantastic! Now I am jealous.

Beautiful hat man!

It is getting a lot of wear time. It is very comfortable.

You should get plenty of source material here. This site is chock full of dedicated and passionate collectors. Many have museum quality or better items. Humm... If a show like this takes off we all can expect prices to soar from sweat bands to shoe leather and every stitch in between.

I have found that simply changing the sweat will be sufficient to reduce the size. If the original sweat was un-reeded it becomes easier.The new sweat will be reeded and have thicker leather resulting in a reduction of one size or more with out having to shrink the body. Reblocking can some...

A hat like that is never too big. I am glad you won. It is a stunner and will go well with your other gems. That hat is worth every penny and then some.

I was the high bidder up until the last 14 seconds. I knew it would be pushed at the last moment. I was unable to type that quickly. oh well.

Gorgeous hat rlk.

You bet. Especially when food is involved.

Thanks Ordinary Guy, The suit is from 1947 LA. It seems to fit the hat pretty well.
