    Hat Project Bundle: Vintage Fedora Bodies, Sweatbands, Grosgrain Ribbon, Liners - Sold as a Lot

    So... I became very active in the hat section here many years ago. This place helped stoke my love for fine, vintage fedoras, and eventually I started refurbishing them as a hobby. I stripped beat up hats, cleaned them, sewed in sweatbands, made ribbons, etc. Those days are long gone. I have...

    Old Stetson, Anyone?

    A friend of mine got this at an estate sale. He didn't know if it had much value. I don't either. As you can see it is beat to, um... heck. It is old, though, and kind of cool. I would say it dates to between 1900 and 1920. Don't know if it's wearable, but the inner circumference is about 21...

    Restored Vintage Esterbrook Fountain Pen - Series J - Copper Color w/ 9550 Nib

    I went on a little Esterbrook buying binge recently, trying to find exactly what I liked and didn't. Anyway, I ended up with an extra pen. Already restored and ready to write, this Esterbrook will serve you well. New bladder installed (not by me). The pen is very nice and clean. Not the shiniest...

    Big-Heads of the Lounge, Rejoice! Very Large Borsalino on the Bay...

    It measures a little bigger than its tagged 7 5/8. Not a perfect hat, but very nice. Anj http://www.ebay.com/itm/230866408900?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

    FS- Lock and Co. Fedora - Made in London - Size 7 1/2 Long Oval - $75

    Nice Lock and Co. fedora. It was sold as a 7 3/8 British size, which makes it a 60cm or 7 1/2 American. It was a bit tight when I got it, so I stretched it to a 7 1/2 Long Oval to fit me. It is a slightly small 7 1/2- measuring at just under 23 1/2 circumference. A nice hat. Not stellar. Great...

    Brown Stetson Whippet from 1950 - Great Condition - 7 1/2 Long Oval

    I am hesitantly parting with this one. In short, I don't wear it often, and am always worried about it getting swiped when I do. It's become too valuable for me to casually enjoy. I would rather put this money elsewhere. So, here it is: one of the granddaddies of all vintage hat grails: a...

    FS: Royal DeLuxe Stetson Open Road, Wide Brim, Silverbelly 7 3/8

    Another fine hat I purchased awhile back that just didn't work for me. In this case, the hat is too small for me, and I didn't want to risk the stretching. A fantastic, Royal DeLuxe Stetson Open Road, in classic Silverbelly. Made as a 7 3/8. See measurements below. Photos were taken in...

    SOLD! FS: Johnny Phi Schoble Fedora, Brown 7 1/2 Long Oval

    One of several Johnny Phi fedoras I purchased a few years back. This is a lovely hat, but I have discovered I don't wear it very often. It's clean out time at my house, so this one goes. The hat was made as a 7 1/2. When I got the hat I dunked it in cold water and stretched it to a long oval...

    OPTIMO Long Hair Fedora - 7 5/8 Long Oval - Like New Gray

    Well, I fought long and hard to score one of the Optimos that have been offered on ebay lately. I di manage to land one of the nicer examples, only to discover that the proportions don't work for my tastes. I should have known, I guess, but my hat lust blinded me to the facts. I'm sure most of...

    One of Us?

    I was walking through the Gaslamp district of San Diego the Saturday evening of Comicon when I spotted this gentleman sitting at an outdoor table at some kind of restaurant/bar. I forget who called out to who, but we ended up having our picture taken together. I didn't ask that night, but...

    I'll give this a few days here before moving it on to the 'bay. I acquired this Stevens recently. I would guess it dates to the early '60s. I cleaned it up and reshaped it into the nice homburg you see here. My wife tells me it's no good for my head, though, so off it goes. Your gain...
