I'll take it. Let me know what you need from me for infromation. Thanks

How would this one stretch to a size 7?

Thanks for all the tips. The next on that comes up I will take a chance.

Here in northern Maine not may survived. Or at least never made it to the antique dealers.

I am new to collecting vintage fedoras so I am looking for good deals on a popular auction site. I have found that a size 7 fits okay depending on how short my hair is. Unfortunately most of the hats I like the looks of are 7 1/8 to 7 1/4. My question is how much might have the sweatbands...

I went to an antique place 45 minutes away from my house. I found an older Dobbs that originally came from a store that has been cloed for 30 years. To my surprise it fit my tiny head. The hat was in spectacular condition. Its hard to find a hat in great condition in a size 7.

Bolthead I'm a size 7. Let me know when its done I'll send you my address!

Are there any hats currently on the market using a felt anywhere close to this color?

Bolt that is a fantastic ribbon. Some hatmakers really new how to make their product stand out.

Hollywood stars get to wear all the cool clothes and get paid to do it. A dark brown hat and a dark burgundy ribbon sounds like a fantastic combiation.

I found it's like an addction. Once you start its hard to stop. Unfortunately I'm on a strict budget. I hope that changes soon!

Size 7. I couldn't believe it fit me. It's hard to find a size 7 at the antique places around here.

I picked this vintage Dobbs up at a local antiques mall. The store it came from originally has been out of business for almost 30 years. Under the sweatband I found a piece of paper that almost crumbled when I took it out.[/IMG][/IMG]

Modified Bash I didn't care for how the center dent looked so I decided to try something different. Here is my attempt at a diamond bash with a front pinch. Its a Brooks Bros/Herbert Johnson in superb condition..

Garrett is this one still available and how different is the long oval compared to a standard size seven?
