    $160 - Whippet Style Stetson Nutria Fedora $200

    Rare item. I'm dating it to mid-late 1940's and I think I'm right about the time frame. It's got a reed. I love this hat but I'm selling it to buy something I covet more. I will sell it for $160.00 to be instantly paid by paypal in the next 24 hours. I will not wait for a sale to clear - I...

    TopHatters (San Leandro) - In Memoriam of Ted & Marie Lee

    As I've noted elsewhere, Ted & Marie Lee ran their "TopHatters" hat shop together for 65 years (1947-2012), first in Oakland and then San Leandro, California. I found these photos in the materials I purchased from their estate. Their Trustee (nephew) told me to keep them. I thought they might...

    Vintage NOS Liners

    I have a few NOS liners that I would like to see find happy homes with loungers whose vintage lids are no longer properly adorned with matching liners. I am not looking to get rich here, but I want to know you own the matching hat or the purpose of offering them here is defeated. Please PM me...

    For Sale: Rare Resistol Krushable 7 1/8 Charcoal Grey

    I collect primarily lightweight vintage hats, and am thinning my collection. This one is a beauty and took about 2 years to find, but I rarely wear black hats and would rather buy hatter's tools. There are no discernible moth damage, rips, tears or stains. The hat is very lightweight, and...

    For Sale: Rare 7X Black Dunlap Supreme Western sz. 7 1/8

    This vintage 6x (oops!) Dunlap Supreme hat has a fantastic hand - better than my 100% beaver westerns - and is one of only two Dunlap branded westerns I've ever seen. It also has a crease that is very unique, and which I wish I had the skill to recreate. It was creased in two steps, which...

    For Sale - Rare Black Stetson Open Road 3x with pin

    This will go up on the Bay if it doesn't sell here soon. It is a black OR circa 1980's I believe. It is in good shape with no discernible mothing, stains, etc. Please see the photos. It is marked size 7 but fits 7 1/8 well, and could probably be stretched a size safely or reblocked. The...

    Vintage Shot Glasses

    I didn't search for a thread, and apologize if one exists. Here is my 1940's fiesta rings barware collection, and a 30's (?) pigskin lined flask.

    Tapatalk Pro Photo Posting Problem

    I'm getting a new error with Tapatalk Pro on the lounge. I'm being asked to put my user name in to post photos, and getting a network error when I do so. Does anyone know if this is an FL issue or a Tapatalk issue? Anyone else having this problem lately? "Faint hat never won fair lady."

    1940's Homburg - G. Moltene

    Hi there. I saw this beauty in an antique store & promised the owner I'd try to get it some exposure. It is an italian homburg originally purchased in the early 40's in Chicago, along with a beautiful heavy long wool coat that she also has for sale. The hat appears unreeded, but looks like it...

    STETSON "Self Conforming" Hat

    I had seen the Self Conforming marking from time to time on vintage Stetson boaters, and had never before grabbed an image, but was intrigued. I thought I would document it here and start a discussion on the issue. Most hat folk know, I presume, that Resistol, not Stetson, owns a patent on...

    US Blind Stitch 118-S Sewing Machine For Hats

    Hi fellas (and ladies). I have an opportunity to buy a vintage working US Blindstitch Co. Model 118-S with table & motor at an amazing $250.00. It was a dry cleaner's machine. I can't find much on this machine, but it looks a lot like a Singer 107 or 108 series and has a round arm for...
