Thinning out my collection. Stetson Playboy, Stratoliner, Whippet some other models as well as some other brands. I have a shop in Hayes Valley that I'm at Tuesday - Saturday 12-7pm and I have them here with me.
Lightly worn pair of Ultimate Indy's in Kudu leather. These are put out by Leather Soul in Honolulu and they are put out in limited quantities. The Kudu leather has a nice oily finish, super supple and incredibly durable. They are size 6.5 which if you know Indy Boot sizing, it usually equates...
Great looking Whippet. I had it professionally, cleaned blocked and had a new leather sweatband installed by Optimo in Chicago. $200 including shipping.
Bought this from another board member. Below is the original link. Worn it twice since it came into my possession. $65 shipped.

In my search for a Gay Prince (that just sounds odd) I recently purchased two hats that are similar and I'm trying to find info on them. One is by Stetson (sovereign) and one is by Knox (twenty). If anyone has any additional info on the history of these models please enlighten me.
Knox on the...
I was in Bogota this past week and I bought this Panama from one of the shops on "La calle the los sombreros" which translates to "The street of hats". It was where all the hats shops were back in the day and it still has a few hat shops left. Most of these shops don't carry anything to write...
I picked this up for $24, I think it might be an old Open Road or maybe a Strat but not quite sure. The felt is really soft and pliable. The sweatband was falling off so i took a chance, stripped it and gave it a thorough washing in cold water and woolite. I reshaped it by hand and let it dry...
I would like to get a new hat of the shelf for everyday use and something that unlike a vintage hat I wouldn't have to be that careful with since I could easily replace and I'd like to spend not much more than $125. I have a vintage Stratoliner that I love and was looking for something along...
I just picked this up on ebay and I most likely overpaid but I got it so I can try my hand at fixing it up. I figure I probably can't damage it much more and if I'm successful, I'll end up with a nice lid for not too bad a price. looks like it might be an OR but maybe some of you learned folks...
I'm only 5'2" and skinny and the standard fedoras I come across seem a bit oversized on me so I always end up with Stingy brimmed hats. I saw someone post a Stetson Molton that seemed to have more of a regular fedora look but the dimmesions all around seemed smaller (shorter crown smaller brim...
I was looking for my first nice fedora. I've had old salvation army and flea market finds but never anything too nice and without any prior knowledge of brands, materials, and quality characteristics ended up walking into The Hat Guys in Oakland (great store and the service was awesome) and...
